Questions That Demand Answers.
If only there were some way to divine information about people without actually talking to them or committing a federal offense. I guess there are psychics, but you’d be hard pressed to find one that wasn’t just a hyper-observant wiseguy or some kind of crazy savant. I think talking to either of those guys would be arguably worse than just talking to your target person.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m fairly sure that Thedar understands enough rudimentary English to communicate standard information, but after his payment plan (school on fire) I’d venture to say that the kid’s less than enthusiastic about going to school. Not to mention that some of the questions on the form were just plain crazy. Calvin told me a few of the stranger ones:
- If you could be any vegetable, which would you be and why?
- In a bomb-diffusing situation, which wire is the ground?
- With respect to the aforementiond question, which is the dummy wire?
- What if they’re ALL blue?
- How many fingers am I holding up?
- ?
Anyways, the Dean seems like a pretty reasonable guy. I’m sure he won’t mind a little embellishment on the records, and those other questions are fairly easy to answer, so…wait, the Dean’s a woman?
Well, crap.

Those “form” types are always more trouble than they’re worth, anyway. Maybe they could send Thedar to one of those touchy-feeling, hippie commune private schools.

Yay! I love Psych.
At least they didn’t ask them to define the universe and give three examples. A teacher once put that on one of my classmate’s tests back in high school as a prank.

Hmm, the universe explained in 3 examples….
The universe is much like an orange.
The universe is controlled by the flow of spice.
The universe has a shirt made of mythril.

Gotta quote The Critic here.
“If I could be a vegetable, I would be a carrot!” KABONGGGG!

The universe is like a doorknob, everybody gets a turn.
The universe is so stupid, when it’s chilly outside it gets a spoon.
The universe is so fat, it’s got its own orbital objects.
Oh wait, not the universe. Your mom. Although that last one…

The universe is the largest scale system of energy and matter that we are aware of at the moment.
1. The amount of energy and matter is constant throughout time, but may change forms.
2. The universe may be infinite, but true infinity is impossible to prove.
3. The universe is probably not in a marble in some bigger universe. No real proof, that idea is just too stupid.

It seems some of you misunderstood the question. You don’t give three characteristics of the universe, you give three examples of the universe. Like, name three things that are, themselves, the universe.

1. The Beyonder
2. Captain Universe
3. Mr. Fantastic’s PDA in that issue where the thing basically became god.
