Skepticism

Afternoon Inquisition 12.15

Today it’s your turn to ask the question.  I can’t guarantee you’ll get an answer, but ask away anyway!

If you could ask any Skepchick any question, what would it be?

  1. Ha, that was a joke. Really, here is one, I need some help. How do ghost orbs show up on digital photography? I need to explain it to my wife.

  2. This question is for Rebbeca; Will you marry me?

    [Oh come on, you all knew that was coming. You’re all just jealous that I got in first. ;) ]

  3. What do skepchicks scream during orgasm? “On the other hand!” just doesn’t seem like it would trip off the tounge.

  4. I asked this via Twitter and got a lovely response from carr2d2 a lil while ago, but…

    Where were you ladies in high school when I was a lonely nerd girl?!

  5. @Elyse: Fair call :) I’ll retroactivly accept the penalty.

    On a more serious note though; It’s a common question but I’m not sure if it’s been asked here. Of all the quackery that’s out there if you could pick one that turned out to be true, what would it be and why?

  6. Which two natural numbers, when cubed, add up to a cube of another natural number? (Besides zero.)

    First one to answer this question gets 1 brownie point.

  7. Any advice to a wanna be Skepchick?
    Any advice to a wanna be kick ass blogger?

    How do y’all find the time to keep up this blog, have social lives, and work?

  8. Where do I start?

    “isn’t it your turn to walk the dogs?”

    “you drank how much?”

    “that’s a kinky idea – do you think teek would like to join in?”

    All of the above are normally followed by “are you going to stop hitting me soon?”

    (the questions change when you marry one of them ;) )

  9. About the value of patience and good nature in the face of nonsense and egotism. I can’t do it. How do you all do it? DO you all do it?

  10. @Steve DeGroof:

    I think the oddest link/question was after I posted about breastfeeding in public, Rebecca got an email from Hooter Hiders asking if they could link to us and put her on the mailing list.

    Now Rebecca gets updates on all the latest in breastfeeding gear.

    Of course, that’s just my favorite :)

  11. Rebecca: If you had to spend the rest of your life on a desert island with only one person, who would it be?

  12. @Nicole: “Where were you ladies in high school when I was a lonely nerd girl?!”

    I got here as soon as I could!

    @Gold: “Of all the quackery that’s out there if you could pick one that turned out to be true, what would it be and why?”

    Homeopathy. Think of all the pain and suffering we could cure with water!

  13. @Steve DeGroof: @Elyse mentioned the Hooter Hiders, which was pretty funny. Oddest link, though, would probably be the semen cookbook. Oh, and then there was the angry email I got from the correspondence school I blasted awhile back, which I think I still haven’t posted. Hm.

  14. @Nicole: Being a lonely nerd girl myself! Without the internet! I didn’t get access to the internet until I went to college. Then I got even nerdier.

    @TheSkepticalMale: That’s a topic I could go on about forever. I used to default to The Third Man, but as I’ve gotten older I think my tastes have changed a bit. Let me think about it some more and come back after I get home from work. :)

  15. I have this internal vision of you all as witty and urbane sophisticates. But from some of your comments I get the impression that it wasn’t always so. When did you become happy with who you are so that you became such attrative and interesting people?
