1. Who named you, and what does your name mean?
Well, my parents named me. I think they named me Ryan P. Brennan because my dad's name is Richard P. Brennan and so is my grandfathers, so they wanted to keep the initials but change the name up... but seriously, I have no idea why they named me Ryan... the name means "Little King," so maybe they had big plans for me? (I once ruled the backyard and swingset, until my sister was born...)

2. Which is better: Classic Coca Cola or C2 Coca Cola?
Coca Cola Classic all the way. None of this "less carbs in your drink" stuff...

3. Are you a pessimistic or optomistic?
I try to be as optomistic as possible, usually with a large hint of sarcasm to hide the pessimistic guy in me.

4. If you can rule the world for 1 hour, what will you do?
Kick that bastard who's creating wars left and right out of the oval office...

5. Who do you think is the WORST actor/actress in history to date?
A bunch of kids at my highschool were pretty bad, but talking about professional actors I would have to say Shayla Harris. Porno actresses never are good, but this one is terrible!

6. Which gender do you think should dominate: women or men?
I believe that everyone should be happy and free and that nobody should dominate anyone :) ::happy happy:: ok, but really, I dunno. I've found that both genders have their advantages and disadvantages. Put the apes in control, they'll do better than our current leader...

7. Do you think education should be free or be paid for? If you pay for it, do you think it is really worth it?
I think that up to high school should be free, but I think that you should have to pay for college. I say this because paying for something gives you incentive to work and will get you to try and make the most out of it, so people involved in higher education should have that incentive.

8. What do you think about the recent gas prices?
Absurd. If they keep it up, I'm changing to an electric car soon.

9. Do you think animals have feelings? If so, why are you eating them? (Assuming you are not a vegetarian)
Yes, animals have feelings. I eat them because if I don't, someone else will. The true question is, do people in Iraq have feelings? If so, why is America invading and killing them? (If you can't tell... I'm not a fan of Bush or the war in Iraq...)

10. If you can only have one, which would you choose: a heart or a brain?
Heart. If you've seen "The Replacements" then you know that you need to have heart to get back in the game. Seriously though, you can be the smartest person in the world, but if you don't have the drive and desire to do anything with it (i.e. heart) than you're pretty much useless.

11. How much can a woodchuck chuck wood?
Can a woodchuck really chuck wood? And does she really sell sea shells by the sea shore?

12. In your opinion, do you believe that people--especially the younger generations--are taking HIV and STDs seriously? Why or Why not?
I think that too many people believe that HIV and STDs will never affect them. The reality of the situation is that these people will inevitably be blindsided one-day by something terrible and hopefully younger generations will truly understand the advantages to being safe.

13. What do you think about the idea of spanking your child--assuming he/she misbehaves--as a form of discipline?
Terrible. Promotion of violence among children today is enough through television and video games. Parents need not do it as well. Personally, I'd go time-out corner and silent treatment. That always got me when I was a kid.

14. Do you like people? (Be honest)
Most definitely. While there are a few bad eggs in the basket, most are worth getting to know.

15. You have a lion, a goat, and a bundle of hay. You need to cross a river by using a small boat, which can ONLY carry you and something of your choice (the lion or the goat or the hay). You CANNOT, for example, bring the lion along with the goat, etc. Nobody can swim across the river or make or bridge, etc. You MUST use the boat.

Question: how do you cross the river bringing the lion, the goat, and the hay? You are allowed to make more than one trip.

Hint: Remember, if you leave the lion alone with the goat, he will eat it. If you leave the goat alone with the hay, he will eat it. There are different ways of solving this problem. If you can't figure it out, I'll tell you at the bottom of this page.

I think the true question is: where are you going with all of these animals?

Take the lion and the goat across, leaving the bundle of hay behind. Then, leave the goat on shore, and go back with the lion to pick up the hay. Or you could bring the lion and hay first, leaving the goat behind, and then just go and pick up the goat.


*Extra* 17. What is your WORST job ever? Are you still in it?
Worst job ever... camp counselor for 3 year olds who still were having trouble with the concept of using "the potty" but were out of diapers... I will never forgive their parents...
