@cjko People love antiheroes. They luv em.

@IdioticBot33 My hallucinations all concur that sleep is for the weak.

What do you daydream?

It occurs to me I haven't had a proper daydream, or reverie, or mindskive, or 'imagination guff' in over ten years, and that's not good, is it? I think about ...work, the almighty £, politics, planning for the future ...but never a meaningless little daydream. Is this just what happens when you get older? As a kid, I would constantly be off in my own little world, thinking about what it'd be like to be Superman, or play in the World Cup, or captain a U-boat... but not no more.

PLEASE tell me you have some cool daydreams, about Star Wars, or being on the run from 5-O, or just ...something.

The refraction of space-time as you neared the event horizon would become intensely abstracted, meaning you would see yourself becoming absorbed into the singularity first in small increments and then in infinitely long increments, meaning a person would go insane long before they ever collapsed into raw energy.

Black Holes were created by God as a form of 'poetic justice' punishment for the Channel 4 executives who first came up with the idea of Gogglebox.

I like @SynapticSeizure's answer. I will self-destruct some day, but by then my personality and psychic powers will be so highly developed that when my spirit is divvied up among the rest of mankind, THE WHOLE EVOLUTION OF THE HUMAN RACE will take a quantum leap forward, and any remaining capitalists will feel as unloved and unnecessary as the stacks of 'The Making of Prince of Persia' books perennially unsold in Stroud Poundland.

Hey U Guyz What's the first thing you'd do after being freed from a long spell in chokey, or maybe some 'Old Boy' type scenario?

This is only partially a hypothetical question, because...we all have days or spells in our lives where we feel totally ISOLATED, right? It helps to know you've got a coping mechanism.

I think I'd probably ...run into the nearest pub and down a pint of whatever tap is nearest to the barmaid's elbow. I'd then do a really detailed, expressive portrait of the barmaid, preferably in oils on a canvas, put otherwise using whatever is to hand.

I'd then run through the churchyard and laugh at all the gravestones, because those guys are all dead and I'm still alive, en route to the nearest newso, where I'd buy the ponciest cigar I could see, thereafter to smoke it on a hill, and after that, just build a campfire, and spend the night looking for UFO's, and making prank phone calls to radio stations. If you're there with me, you'll all get cigars, too.

The one thing that bothers me most about the world today is just ...(sigh), ...(shakes head like hundred-year-old-man after seeing teenager eat live squirrel for bet)... it's just ...(stares beakly into thin air)... the human race is just... (evaporates into cloud of sheer despondency).

@Matt_Aranha Jeremy Irons Gruber is furious at your exploiting his poorly-defined instruction, but he is abiding by it.

Every now and again someone will rock up and say, 'Why is TWS so full of horny types? This is an outrage'. Not so much me, because it's democracy, and democracy will always contain some kinda sexy shinnanegans. But ...supposing a great rain could come and wash the horny types away?

What is the best way to get a new soul if your old one is knackered or broken?

THERE IS NAY MULTIPLE CHOICE. USE YR OWN IMAGINATION TO THINK OF POSSIBILITIES OMG PLS.

Where. Where do you think you'll be 20 billion years from now?

@DIV yes, where is @pe7erpark3r , instigator of the great data-crash? I used to love that guy - aloof, alt-humane punter, really just reminding me of myself.

I like @Lurker's answer. I never thought of it that way. But another way of looking at it: given that the universe is infinite and all possibilities will inevitably come to pass anyway, isn't it best to take your worst fears on the chin? One day Rastamouse will turn evil.

I like TWS because it's a relatively new site, and I can feel like a pioneer in a tri-corner hat, with one leg up on the corner of the boat, gesturing with a cutlass.

So, how do you think about this stuff? Eh? Maybe you're already in love with some character or other and strong emotions dictate the MAGIC and WONDER shall never be repeated. Or maybe you're pragmatic and just think, 'Well, I generally fall in love once every ten years, so what goes around comes around'. Me? I'll never fall in love again due to the fact that I'm DARKNESS INCARNATE.

People say, 'Yeah, but look at the facts' -- but what if it's not a fact-based phenom? If most people looked into their hearts, they'd just FEEL and KNOW that the Earth is flat. In Rupert Bear annuals, why would Alfred Bestall have bothered to draw such beautiful horizons unless the earth was flat enough for us to see them?

My name is John Smales. I live in a semidetached house in Aalmeston, a medium-sized town on the smallest continent of the Northern hemisphere of Planet LionCara. I am 40 years old, and the rep for a company that manufactures kettle-descaling swabs. My working area covers a thirty mile radius, mainly the lowlands which border the Untersberg area and the Land of Nyx. I drive a Toyota Auris.
Generally, I liaise with the owners of small hardware shops, to make sure their stock levels remain at a satisfactory level based on market trends. I enjoy eating tomato or chicken soup at small restaurants or supermarket cafes, sometimes reading a biography or non-fiction book.
In my spare time, I enjoy long walks in the countryside, and my favourite animals to see are: cows, horses, chaffinches, starlings, sheep, sparrows and moorhens.

We'll go to the Gaza Strip, myself, and you, and @Karina-Kara, and you'll feel so humbled by REAL aggro that you guys will instantly make peace with each other, and I will win a Nobel Peace prize, and at the ceremony, when the camera pans across to me, I'll be like

It's a simple enough question: Which would you rather have, a fingertip that can magically fire bullets, or the ability to insult anyone you like and they're not allowed to react? Can't call it meself.
