1. What time did you get up this morning? 6 am. And I did nothing. Then I went and put on a DVD but missed the ending because I had to leave for work.

50 years hence when the world will get taken over by “kewl dudes” from Youngistaan, this is how the census will look like.
I think fatigue took over the person who compiled this list of questions. What would be the reason to stop at 46 and not go on till 50 ? 42, I can understand, but 46 ??
Hahahaha
Actually, the real questionaire had like about 65 or 70 Qs. I snipped a few and published without checking the last number.
Btw, how can you understand 42?? Like, how the compiler struggled to reach 40 and passed out after adding two more???
42 - the answer to “The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything”
I believe the census is a small step towards finding a better answer
The Census was a mindless timepass for me though
Which I hope will also be the same for everyone else free enough to take it.
That Youngistan ad is the heights. Three so-called-actors from the great Indian cinema who all they can do is act in stupid ads directed by equally stupid people.
Brother in a band? How cool!
46. Absolutely!
I did a similar post long ago here : http://shradharev.blogspot.com/2006/08/tagchoo.html
I started reading this post long ago, but fell asleep in the middle of reading.
This is too long a list…
Woke up only now…
@Shradha: What a coincidence! And similar questions too!!! Nasty cold, there huh? Btw, even I have the same answer for the “Whats the first thing you think of in the morning” question - “Where the hell are my glasses!”
@Deepak: Point taken. I dont think I will be taking up tags for a long time now
Virus from Anju right?
I got hit too. I normally ignore these forwards, but filled it out and send it back to her, just because it was her!
Right
Even I’m not a forward person - pun not intended but I did this cause it just got more and more interesting once I started answering. Sent it back to her and posted it on the blog for good measure
