To be completely fluent in French, self defence, swordplay, surf, snowboard, finish guitar lessons and start piano lessons, ice skate, cook Tex Mex and more Carib than I know, knot tying, to be an EMT, horseback riding (only did it a few times), more Salsa lessons whee!

< Yeah...I have no time *sigh* I need one of those watches that stops it.

V Passing on the Q

[Jacky Tar]

^ Not sure about pirate events, but Portland Pirate Festival maybe.

< Wouldn't mind living forever if I could do it healthy and with all limbs and senses intact.

V Bump the first question one more time - it's such a good one.

[CrazyCholeBlack]

< needs to invent one of those clocks that has 13 hours instead of 12.

V what impossible thing would you invent?

[blackjohn]

^ a time machine

< realizes that the 13 hour clock would just give him an extra hour of doing "other" stuff

V Tesla or Edison, which do you prefer?
