Hm, I had no idea! The radio station plays "Radioactive" now and then, but like I said, I don't focus on it too much. I may need to do further research....

But Archangel, what other Mormons seem to have musical talents? At least moreso than any other decent musicians out there. I know Brandon Flowers (lead singer of the Killers) is LDS, and then there's the Osmond family (if you want to count them)... aside from the Moron Tabernacle Choir, what else is there?

The gecko. It has an incredible ability to cling to nearly any surface, and is one of the few reptiles with vocal chords. Second favorite would be the chameleon, not just because of its color-changing ability, but its ability to move its eyes independently of each other - basically allowing it to have 360-degree vision - is exceedingly rare among any animal in the world.

Both are awesome.

Favorite OS?

Right now, Mac OS X, but that's simply because I've had the most experience with lately. I would like to learn more about some of the Linux operating systems, though, but haven't had much time to do so. My previous experience with Ubuntu has been mixed, but I'd be willing to give it another go.

Certainly not the Windows operating systems. Part of that is my mistrust of Microsoft in general, but the OS itself tends to be flawed anyway, making it exceedingly prone to viruses and hacking.

I like Windows because I find it easier to use than Mac OS (I've used Windows since I was about 3). I got a Raspberry Pi for Christmas so I've gotten to twiddle with Raspbian OS (a modified version of Linux). It's a lot like Windows.

That was pretty funny! I haven't had any experience whatsoever with any of the mobile operating systems. I don't own a smartphone, and since we don't have cellular service where I live, the only cell phone we do have tends to be used mainly for emergencies. Tracfone is a great way to go for us - we can buy a 1-year card for $100, that gives us 1,200 minutes (or so - depends on the bonus codes I can find when redeeming it) and we have all the cell service we need for 12-18 months.

Depends on what we're talking about. What is being inequal? I do believe in equal opportunity, but not in guaranteed equal results. Or are we talking about something else?

I dunno. I just like to throw out a random word and see where it goes, sometimes.

Newtonian?

Cool! I like making up random words. Like "reclodary." What do you think that means?

Related to physics somehow. I got a "D" in my physics class... and that's only because the final exam was a take-home and I had an engineer friend help me with my answers. I like the idea behind physics, but when it comes to the formulas... it's weird. It makes sense to me, and when I go over my answer I get the same results but it's never right. In fact, it's often wildly wrong.

That's why I'm an English major. My brain isn't wired for numbers. :P

Reclodary sounds like something small that moves in a circular motion. Or perhaps turning dirt into dirt clods again.

I'm also fairly certain physics is more abstract and half-mystical than math majors will admit. >_>

Flying?

I haven't had much opportunity to fly. Aside from when my grandfather was still alive (he owned his own airplane - a little commuter one - and used it to travel around the Pacific Northwest as part of his job), I've only ever flown once. I wouldn't mind doing it again... I'm not sure if I'll enjoy the pre-flight screenings, though. Last time I flew it was before 9/11 and the security overkills they have in place now.

Awesome. :D I agree though...I try not to start vacations with a strip search. O_o

Also, what does reclodary mean?
