Can I say both?
if not, I prefer short term goals.

Talking or emailing?

Talking to most people, but emails to people I either a) don't like very much or b) feel awkward/uncomfortable around.

How far would you travel to help a friend?

email and not very far.

What would you do for a million squid?

Nothing!

why do tears drop even when your eyes arent dirty, what makes them do that? (i.e when you're upset, angry...)

Wanna hear the science bit?

Three types of tears are generated by the human eye. Basal tears protect the eye and keep it moist. Reflex tears flush out the eye when it becomes irritated. And emotional tears flow in response to sadness, distress, or physical pain.

Studies have shown that emotional tears contain more manganese, an element that affects temperament, and more prolactin, a hormone that regulates milk production. Sobbing out manganese and prolactin is thought to relieve tension by balancing the body’s stress levels and eliminating build ups of the chemicals, making the crier feel better.

scienceline - so its to make you feel better.

As foir my question, the same as before.

Its to do with state of mind or my mood.

Ive actually got one with flames on it, that ive never thankfully had to use (and hopefully wont have to) you can probably guess what that would mean.

Hello, ello, sup, hey, salaam (its the same as hello to me), bonjour, hallo (german)... they also say Guten Tag or just tag, Konnichiwa, ciao , hola, nihao.

Q. Do you trust the internet enough to buy things over it?

I buy loads of stuff on the internet, I've never been bitten/ripped off. Even if things have been faulty, I've always been able to return them easily. Also much cheaper than the high street (or at least it was before the recession).

How many times does someone have to betray your trust before you never trust them ever again.

it depends on who it is and what they have done.

does the presentation of food matter to you, like would u want the fruit to be put in a nice pattern *strawberry, kiwi, strawberry, kiwi, sumthin else....*?

Does the presentation of food matter to me?

Not really, when Im hungry any order happens. But Iive probably seen the question differently.

A soppy question I was asked earlier this week:

Why is 'the heart' and 'love' associated together?

No idea, but I would assume that the emotional centre in the brain probably is close to the place in the brain which controls the heart muscles?

So maybe when one bit is affected, some neurons also affect the other bit?

Disclaimer - I am not a doctor and the above has no basis in experimentation, science. just a hunch.

argh!

Why have you involved science into this? I have no energy today.

Isn't it something to do with English ?

I doubt it - they may have actually thought that the heart in the chest did things other than pump blood? Could have been fooled into such thoughts as pumping level of blood can change with shocks, scares and other emotions.

hmmmm, interesting. Ive never thought about it.

But if i had to guess id say because love is associate with life and the heart pumps blood around the body to keep us alive. So love and life. Plus the heart can be said to be at the core of ones body and therefore to say you love someone with all your heart would mean that you love them to the deepest part of yourself. Plus the whole butterflies feeling is supposedly felt in that region.

And how far back, in history, did they use the phrase with love and the heart in the same sentence? Its was used in Shakespearean language right? Did they know the heart pumped blood around the body back then?

There are loads of ahadith which associate the heart with either belief or sincerity.

But... that type of question deserves it's own topic, its not really an 'interview' type question is it? Let's not get side-tracked people! So I'll continue the interview with the person below me...
