Question 37

(Question 35 remains on hold until a good suggestion comes my way)

Would you, for someone you deeply love, move to a distant country if it meant being far away from friends and family?

Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a haunted house?

Would you be willing to spend 4 days and nights alone on a deserted island with no food or shelter for $500,000?

Question 36

I was searching the music sites on myspace where some of us have "pages" (the rest of y'all ... get with the program!) and I found Toto's "Africa". Easily one of my favorite 80's songs. Dig it.

Which leads us to our musical section of punky's pink emerson radio ponderings:

What is your favorite song from the 60s?
What is your favorite song from the 70s?
What is your favorite song from the 80s?
What is your favorite song from the 90s?

Extra credit: Peanut butter with ... jelly, fluff or chocolate?

Thought for today: Every day you can decide to be miserable or happy. It takes the same amount of work either way.

Question 34

Would you rather know when you are going to die ... or ... how you are going to die?

Would you rather have the ability to fly ... or ... have $20,000,000 in cash?

Would you rather have one year (and only one year) with your true love and soul mate ... or ... a lifetime with someone you love but are not in love with.

Brazil

Brazil is hot. 100 degrees and humid kind of hot. 80% of the women in Brazil - over the age of 15 - have had or will have breast augmentation surgery. The Carnaval is unlike anything you have EVER seen. Caiparinhas get you very drunk very fast. I can dance salsa ... kind of. Women of ALL shapes and sizes wear bikinis in Brazil ... it's lovely really. I speak much better Portuguese than I previously thought. 10 days goes by very fast when you are in another country. Baby lizards like steam rooms. They also like to dangle from little pinky fingers. You need no other shoes but flip-flops when you visit Brazil. You have not experienced a Churrascaria until you visit one in Brazil. There are many favelas (slums) in Brazil. Very sad. The ocean water tastes much saltier in Brazil. Brazil's mountains, vegetation and ecology is lovely. Brazil has some really delicious tropical fruit. Brazil also has many little critters that like to live in delicious tropical fruit - proceed with caution. Brazilians love a good buffet. Bad ones too. It is really hard to sleep in 100 plus degree weather with very high humidity ... so it is best not to even try. Brazilian men are not nearly as hot as they are in my dreams. I look Brazilian when I am tan. Hearts of palm are right up there with mustard on my list of foods I hate. I had many weird dreams when I actually did sleep in Brazil. When your cousin decides he hates your sunglasses, it is best to let him buy you knew ones. It save many hours of hearing him complain. And lastly ... when you travel to Brazil, be sure to hide your car keys so your 15 year old nephew doesn't decide to take it for a joy ride and crash it while you are gone.

And today's question is ... has anyone ever died from eating a bad fig?

More questions tomorrow.
