1)do you believe that the most minor events can change the entire course of your life?

Not mine, necessarily, but they can have an effect on people's lives.

2)if a butterfly in the rain forests of south america flaps its wings, what happens in Kalamazoo, Michigan?

The Chaos theory is never created. Because of that, Crihton's Jurassic Park book sucks (they never escape.) Spielberg never makes a hugely popular movie based on it. Without the added revenues, he can't afford to make Saving Private Ryan and Schinler's List. Without those movies, some people who otherwise know the horrors of WW2 never realize them, and cause a worldwide revolution. Anarchy results, so things sucks in Kalamazoo. Or nothing happens. I don't know which.

3)which of gwynie's Sliding Doors hair styles did you prefer: short blonde, or long brunette?

Didn't see it, would guess long brunette though.

4)if you could relive one moment in your life, what would it be and why?

If I can't change them, probably none. Otherwise, some point in grade school, where I'd get the nerve to punch Josh Smith in the mouth. That'd make me feel better!

5)come on, now. do you really think your life would be all THAT different?

It might. A frind of mine in college beat up his bully, and the bully later ended up rotting in jail, but my friend isn't much better off than me.

6)Did you ever read those Choose Your Own Adventure books?

Hell yeah. I was practically a heuristic search engine on those things. Whenever I had to make a choice, I'd memorize the page number, then go back to it when the choice I made ended. That way, I knew I'd read everything.

Those were good, but I preferred more unusual ones. One series had a map system, and directed you to different pages if you revisited the same place. Another used time travel, gave some information about the period you went to, gave hints on a few of the choices, had only one ending, and required you to bring a limited number of things with you. Another series was about a sci-fi detective or something. Only one good ending, and the choices were actually usually some weird puzzle. The best Choose Your Own Book was this weird one about hyperspace, that made little to no sense. I remember there was a scene where you introduced to some woman who made cameos in a bunch of other books in the series.

7)Given the choice, would you rather be able to see into the future or relive the past?

See the future. If nothing else, I'd become a billionare on the stock market. Shallow, but effective!

8)if you could see into the future, what specific event/moment would you like to witness and why?

Just 100 years from now. I'd like to see what changed, what governments are still around, if any, if I'm still alive, etc.

9)if you could change one of the questions in this poll, would it alter the course this poll is taking?

Yes, it would lead to different answers!

10)fill in the blank: "Nobody expects the

Butterfly....mwa haha! 10 points to the first person to get the reference.
