Why not put the 'pooter next to the bed, so you can enjoy both at once?

Yeow-- that's comfortable? It'd freak me out. There's no place to sit or lie down, and I'd be afraid of breaking the glass. Gimme a snorkel, a bathtub, and a book instead!

The "Cape Cod" room. It's the guest bedroom in a house I'm housesitting for the next 6 months. The cape cod room has low angled ceiling, twin beds, bad electrics, wood floors, and a strong fresh breeze running through it. It reminds me powerfully of the Cape Cod (Massachusetts) vacation rental my family used when I was a child. Waking up in that room always makes me feel relaxed in a way that only a vacation could have, 'til now.

I have strong hopes that this one will become an accepted mission. I wish I could vote twice, but I'm not a Diebold electronic voting machine, so I can't. ;-)

Yes, trick perspective. Escher (mcescher.com) was top notch at this.
Is photography the only choice, or are photoshopping and sketches also permitted?

Your cat is... PINK? Serves you right for putting a white cat in the same laundry wash bundle as some red underwear. Thank goodness the red underwear didn't have a skidmark as well, or that poor kitty would habe a brown stripe from nose to tail. :-D

Design a piece of furniture. You've been sitting in chairs, lounging on sofas, squirreling things away in a hope chest all your life. Surely you've got some idea for furniture that you've never seen yet?

I guess I don't understand this one. Are you asking us how big our ego is, or how famous we are already PLUS how famous/infamous we think we might become?
There's an Andy Warhol "15 minutes of fame" joke in here somewhere... :-D -

Couldn't we just SET FIRE to it? Our lives are too much beset by advertisements already. Groups like AdBusters see a need to resist "ad creep" which is both a noun describing marketing weenies and a verb describing the constant push of ads into our lives. I say, push'em out. Don't glorify'em.

Beeeautiful photo, there, but I agree: the sound is so damned offensive. Ever been to New Year's in the Philippines? The next morning, the streets have so many burnt firecrackers that thespent firecrackers look like a few inches of grey snow all over the streets.
In Thailand where I live now, neighbors are always setting off firecrackers to scare off imagined demons. They never warn their neighbors, so I end up panicking, thinking it's gunfire, and hit the floor. (I got shot at a lot in Papua New Guinea. No particular reason for the gunfire, but it shaped my perception of firecracker noises.) -

@discomeg2: Ain't it wunnnnnerful? I recently moved because of the uncontrollable sound levels at my old place. The neighbors were so subjective, I found myself screaming "When you don't consider your neighbors, you're the HOOD in the NEIGHBORHOOD." They'd play loud music all night, and start banging on tin roofs with hammers at 6am...even on January 1st!
Now the loudest thing around me is a neighborhood muffler-less scooter. Ahhhh, sweet silence and the concentration levels that accompany it! :-D
@kellydna: "Cat horking?" Is that the sound it makes when it has a furball? -

What do you mean, "it comes down 30 meters"? Did the building fall, or sink into the ground, or do something else?

Show-and-tell the most useful non-fiction book you have or had. Por ejemplo, a foreign language dictionary, a recipe book, a thesaurus, or a "...For Dummies" book.

I'd agree that the first HP book was good, but after that they become long paranoid dreams of the author, and seem like propaganda to warp the optimism of kids into something darker and more afraid. The last 3 volumes, instead of being short, bright, happy books are just the reverse: incredibly long dark unhappy books that I wouldn't even use to fix a tippy table's shortest leg.

At 6:07 AM sethness participated in What was your favourite book 10 years ago?:
This submission has been flagged by users. Click to view.
My fave book was "The Book of Merlyn", by T. H. White. You've probably heard of his Arthurian legend book "The Once and Future King", but did you know that he originally intended a 13th chapter in that book, to take place as an aging King Arthur feels depressed in the hours leading up to his inevitable, undesired battle with his bastard son, Mordred? T. H. White was notorious for editing his book right up until the days when he would re-set the (hard metal) type at the printers'. In this case, he redistributed the 13th chapter material throughout the early chapters when Merlyn was teaching young King Arthur (a child nicknamed "Wart"), and then White went on to publish the 13th chapter as a separate book. The lessons in these pages are all about the positive value of objectivity and the harm subjectivity does. The lessons are taught by turning Arthur into various animals like a bird, a fish, and an ant. As a bird he saw objectively that national borders are unreal, in a sense. As a fish, he saw that might does not make right. As an ant, he saw the negative value of subjectivity, specifically in the form of war propaganda: "The other ant colony's sugar supply is ours by right of manifest destiny. We must also defend our sugar supply from attacks by that other ant colony."
From this book I learned my greatest life-lesson: the value of objectivity and doubt.

When I went to Kindergarten, I was so shy that I was allowed to bring a hand-puppet "that would talk for" me. I kept being extremely shy until 6th grade, when my father wrote in my graduation autograph book "This is the God of Intelligence. Seth is a smart kid." From then on, I wasn't convinced that i was dumb.

Cool. Where did you rent in the Cape?
This comment has been flagged by users. Click to view.
North side of the cape, a place I only know by the landowner's name: Mr. Ward. One of the best parts was visiting a book store as soon as we reached the Cape: it was a yearly tradition to buy two books there for reading during vacation. Ever since, I've loved the smell of paper and ink, and associated it with relaxation.
