Sparked by this, if you were going to have a literary quote tattooed on you somewhere, what would it be?

why?

why do hot dogs come in packs of 10 and buns in 8 or 12?

I was actually pondering that earlier this morning when I caught the link on Gaiman's blog. I may have to get back to you on it, though - I don't know if it's just been too long since I took an English class or what, but nothing's coming to mind. (If you asked me to pick a Gaiman quote specifically, though, I could tell you in a heartbeat - "You get a lifetime", from Brief Lives.)

Speaking of Gaiman, have you read The Graveyard Book yet? If not, you absolutely should - it's a fantastic story. Plus it's a nice quick read to add to your goal list. :)

"So, I figured it out, why hot dogs come in packages of ten and hot dog buns come in packages of eight. See, the thing is, life doesn't always work out according to plan so be happy with what you've got, because you can always get a hot dog."

You're at a riverside with a boat, a coyote, a goose, and a bag of corn. The coyote always tells the truth, the corn alternates between truth and lies, and the goose always lies.
Why are manhole covers in Redmond square?

Because apparently there was something really strange in that brownie I had for lunch.

The manhole covers in Redmond are square to enable them to be stored more easily when they are covered with chocolate.

What percentage of the total population of the town in which you reside do you consider to be people who you know, other than solely as work contacts?

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Chocolate covered manholes.

I'm not touching this one with a ten-foot pole...

A very small one. There's about 30,000 people here, and I'd say the number of people I actually *know* is...probably in the teens. Admittedly, I've been a tad antisocial for the past couple of years (something I'm trying to change), but I've never been very good at maintaining the huge networks of acquaintances that some people can.
