if he talks about books, you better damn well listen
I'll start with two:

* When a movie production needs an actor who's really ugly or fat, how does the casting director go about getting someone? Do they just advertise that they're looking for ugly/fat people and then audition candidates? How does the successful candidate feel? Some people complain about being objectified for their good looks--what about being objectified for their hideousness?

* Can a person survive after having all of their limbs cut off (ie. they're basically just a torso and head)?

Go ahead and answer, or ask dumb questions of your own.
 
To answer your second question here is Prince Randian.

Randian.1906.jpg


Randian was a clever and quick-witted man who could speak English, German and French in addition to Hindi, his native language. However, in the film Freaks, he speaks his only line of dialogue in an accent rendering the words nearly incomprehensible.

People who worked with Randian recalled that he was fond of perpetrating a certain practical joke. He would conceal himself in a box or some other receptacle too small to hold a normal person. He would wait patiently until some victim came along, then wait a few more minutes until that person was confident that he or she was completely alone. Then, Randian would suddenly scream.

I have a practical question How do you polish metal to a mirrored shine? I'm trying to polish some of my knives but I can't find the proper method.

Yes, and, er...Rule 34
 
I have a question.

If I were to stimulate my hormone glands in some natural non invasive way to produce more testosterone, would I be considered a cheating steroid junkie?

And one more.

If teddy buys 3 condoms from a condom dispenser, how many times does teddy expect to get laid before his condoms run out?

What?

Assuming he doesn't break any when putting them on, or isn't using them for masturbation, I'd expect he'd eventually use them on 3 separate occasions, equaling three lays.

Actually, teddy is naturally a very cautious bear (as all bears tend to be), so he always buys more than he needs. You'll need to factor this into your equation.

Two times: the first two he perceives as definites, and the last condom is there just in case one of them breaks.
 
I have Verizon, and I want to know how many text messages I've used this month. I know there's a number I can text that'll let me know, but I can't think of it. Anyone know?

You can find out account info from the web browser on your phone, I think.

Not without immediate medical attention, although some tourniquets might keep you alive longer than a few minutes. Severed femoral arteries = expensive dry-cleaning bill.

... and why can a big freakish blob like Grimace speak English, but all the human-looking Hamburglar can say is "Rubble rubble"? WTF does that even mean?

$133

EDIT: The version above has a different layout and a .2 increase in screen size. It's up to you whether you think that validates the extra $70.

The one you linked is 179 bucks, the other one is 195 bucks at Amazon. I assume they both have the same sound/features, just a different layout? If the one you linked can be found for $133 I'll jump on it immediately.

Heres how it works. If it is a decent production and not something the producer is doing from his home, they contact an agent for submissions. The agent sends out headshots and resumes of their client that closely matches the criteria of the description for the character. The casting director then calls the agent back and tells him/her who they want to see.

-I want to help my girlfriend buy a bed, and I'm thinking getting a full size should be sufficient. Where can I find one online that's about $300 and can do a home delivery? I'm willing to go to $400...I'm a cheap bastard :(
 
Why do the Japanese change their clothes dependent on the calendar as opposed to the weather? Come September 1st, everyone starts wearing jackets + wooly hats, even though it's 98 degrees. Come mid October and temps of 85 degrees, all the trains have their heaters switched on, as if it's the dead of winter.

#MIN (646) It gives you minutes and texts used for the month.

Who would win in a fight: A Kodiak bear liquored up with LOTS of vodka vs. A Lion on LSD.

What?
From Wikipedia:
"In California of the late 19th century, grizzlies were sometimes used in pit fights, usually against spanish bulls. The grizzlies, using their paw as a club, shattered the bull's skull or shoulder bones so easily that the betting became poor. Eventually, and at considerable cost, African lions were brought in to raise the stakes. Although lions were known for bravely charging straight in and looked good for the money, the grizzlies killed the lions almost as easily as they had killed the bulls.[2]"

It depends on how much vodka. If the bear was legless, my money would be on the lion, otherwise the bear would win.

LSD Lion f'sho. Then again, if the bear knows drunken first, it's over for the lion.
