Favorite movies	Damned Hollywood Elitists... Just kidding. I like everything but movies targeted to stupid people like anything done by Martin Lawrence or the Wayans brothers. I like violence like Fight Club, 300, or Saving Private Ryan. I like what the hell movies like The Sixth Sense, the Illusionist, Primal Fear, or The Score.
Favorite music	I grew up with Hard Rock, which I still like but if I hear any more music from the 70s I will puke. Some Punk is great. Country was fantastic in the early 90s but sucks now. Blues is great, but where do you listen to good blues?
Favorite books	Joe Haldeman's The Forever War, Vernor Vinge's Across Realtime, Orson Scott Card's Ender series, Herbert's entire Dune series (father & son), Shelby Foote's The Civil War, Harry Turtledove's many works, etc. etc. etc. Try books on tape through an iPod, you'll read about 3 times as many books as you do now.

Whoops! Your tongue is now a magnet. Whatever will you use for silverware?

Stainless steel is non-magnetic. Stupid question. If it wasn't, what's wrong with plastic cutlery until your anti-anemia goes away?
