1. What was the coolest class you have taken

sex-ed; so silly since we knew already :))
2. You have my permission to take one month and money is no object. Where will you go and what will you do there?

any country, anything possible. I haven't seen it, i will. I saw it, maybe I get a different angle
3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?

books, any, my wishlist, books :))
4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?

5. Describe something that has happened to you for which you have no explanaton?

Meeting my ex-girlfriend. Did not make any sense ever. But that's hindsight too. ;-)

PS: No bonus question this time? I feel betrayed! :)

1. What was the coolest class you have taken
Neoplatonism - Ficino et al. Quite challenging, but proved useful later on.

2. You have my permission to take one month and money is no object. Where will you go and what will you do there?
>
Monaco. Buy some serious wheels and try to race David Coulthard in the tunnel. Go clubbing. Listen to a classical music concert. Sit by the sea and drink Ouzo.
3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?
A Commodore computer.
4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?
>
It would be Russia, and I would promptly dissolve the parliament and disband the army. Then launch a suicide nuclear strike.
5. Describe something that has happened to you for which you have no explanaton?

Well about time Sgt. J.Y!
1. What was the coolest class you have taken
It was sometime in the final years of high school. Winter. No heating. Was pretty cool. Cold even. It was classroom #18.
2. You have my permission to take one month and money is no object. Where will you go and what will you do there?
One month you say. That should be enough time to do Route 66. There and back.
3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?
I so wanna say my first guitar, but probably the pair of ski gloves I got for Xmas was a lot more useful (read my answer to Q1)
4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?
I would like to become the president of Goldenlinendia (try to pronounce this). As my first decree I would allow everybody to use whatever profile pics they can think of.
5. Describe something that has happened to you for which you have no explanaton?
Where I am and what I do now. I mean: wtf?Jarek A. edytował(a) ten post dnia 28.11.08 o godzinie 08:09

From the genius hand of Joj Yambrick!

1. What was the coolest class you have taken

Forensics. When I was in the States, I was often bored beyond imagination, so I signed up for flower arranging (proved useful while getting the sis-in-law ready for her wedding), accounting (dropped out after a few classes), various free literature seminars, and others. Forensics was a late evening class at the university, run by an old pathologist and a retired detective. I guess I liked it so much because I was homesick and the guys were a bit like my dad (same field, similar bedtime stories - "Have I told you about the half-decomposed guy we found...?"). Going back home to an empty house was creepy though.

2. You have my permission to take one month and money is no object. Where will you go and what will you do there?

First, I would go on a most expensive and luxurious hotels tour, including the famous hanging suite. Then I'd spend the rest of the month traveling round Spain or Mexico, off the beaten track. Or maybe the other way round, actually.

3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?

The gift of life.

On a serious note (ha ha), books. They always prove useful.

4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?

Poland. I'd try to find ways of easing out on ZUS for small companies.


5. Describe something that has happened to you for which you have no explanation?

I must have mentioned this already, but the level of coincidence in my life is overwhelming. So, most of my life has no explanation behind it.

1. What was the coolest class you have taken
Parachuting.
Because 1 week adaptation period for being an Air Force Jet Pilot doesn't count as a class.
2. You have my permission to take one month and money is no object. Where will you go and what will you do there?
Where? Turkey. In June, please.
A week in Istanbul and Ankara (my hometown), and the rest is for the beach. Somewhere west, or southwest.
3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?
I am confused. Probably I go with Jarek's... my first guitar was a gift, and maybe that thing changed my life.
4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?
Well, all fantasies aside, it would be for sure Turkey. I know that country well, and I could proove myself more useful than the other options I guess.
(A hint: If I were the president of the US, it could be a disaster for the World we know of. I'd try to correct the foreign policy of the US. That's what it is... so, it is better not)
5. Describe something that has happened to you for which you have no explanaton?
I have explanations for almost anything in anybodody's life, so far. Sorry for spoiling it, dear Joj.

1. What was the coolest class you have taken
Kundalini yoga. It`s amazing what you can make your body do. And it was surprising to watch the masters.

2. You have my permission to take one month and money is no object. Where will you go and what will you do there?
One month is too short (where`s your imagination, Joj?). I`d like to see the Grand Canion, Machu Picchu, some places in the south of Europe I haven`t been to (Pompeia in the first place). I`d visit some museums (Giger Museum as a must). Then I`d go to St. Petersburg and go sightseeing night and day. Later on...ok, no time left.

3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?
A handbag. It was perfect! I could even put a phone book in it.

4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?
I wouldn`t be able to discharge such a function. Too much responsibility. Perhaps I could only support Jarek as a Vice-President of Goldenlinendia.

5. Describe something that has happened to you for which you have no explanaton?
I have no explanation for my today`s waking up so early despite the fact that I have a day off. When I saw 6.30 on my alarm clock I produced a dirty word (that`s it for the description).

3. What was the most useful gift you have ever received?

my first mobile phone - it was so long ago...

4. If you were elected to the head of a government tomorrow, which country would it be and what would be your first official act?

hm.. as a beginner, having no exeperiance as a executive I would choose small but wealthy country, where the economic situation is stable, maybe Maroko. Due to my lack of exepriance in this field I would propably be quickly recalled from this post so the very first act would be subsidies for all citizens... everyone would be happy and they would remember me as a generous head of a government
