Adaeque impasti lupi oves supputans
I should start by mentioning that Interlocutor has lent their considerable compositional prowess and gracious style to the internet... in blog form. A compelling argument against the internet is that it allows any idiot and their remedial grasp of Latin to post their musings. Surely Interlocutor is an arguement in favor of the opposite viewpoint. They were nice enough to tag my humble blog with a survey.
1. If money were no object, what would you be doing with your life?
Campaigning. But not as a candidate.
2. Money is just that - an object, so why aren’t you doing it?
Because dreams and goodwill make babies bounce and butterflies beautiful, but neither are what make the world go ‘round.
3. What’s better: horses or cows?
Cows. They provide us with meat, milk, clothing and an unparalleled ability to eat grass. Horses no longer have any real purpose and hold the choice distinction of “Most Useless Common Domesticated Animal”. At least dogs can sniff out drugs. And you can teach a cat to use a toilet.
4. What do you think the secret to happiness is?
Doing for a living what you would secretly do for free, looking back and knowing you made the right choices, knowing that you live on your terms and that any of your success belongs to your own efforts.
5. When was the last time you had a dream that you either remember well or did not want to awake from? Can you share a bit?
Something about commanding an army of cartoon characters against an unholy army of the undead for control of a land called Myopia and the merchandising rights for Babylon 5. Bob the Builder was my most trusted general
6. When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A doctor. But honestly, as a kid, I didn’t think that I would have to grow up.
7. Complete this statement: Love is . . .
something that “you follow when it beckons.”
8. Can you tell a good story? (write one!)
Charlie Chaplin, as a man with a sense of humor about his own celebrity, entered a Charlie Chaplin Impersonation Contest at the height of his fame. He came third. The lesson: No one is entitled to anything.
9. Can you remember your last daydream? What was it about?
What the music video for “Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (Original Elvis Mix)” by Spiritualized would look like.
10. If you were to thank someone today, who would you thank?
All the people helping me tomorrow.
I kick the ball to Jan, Ty, Sam and Chris.
Also: "Uhhh...guys...you should probably come and take a look at this..."
Today’s Question:
Without using numbers in your answer, tell me how many former or current US Supreme Court Justices have died in office? (15 points)

Well, that's a very tricky question, because there is a category of office called 'senior status' whereby, for all intents and purposes, a justice has retired, but technically still holds office (as opposted to a resignation per se) it's a kind of emeritus status...
Including both those individuals who died while in office proper as well as those who died in 'senior service,' the number is the same as a certain reciprocal mounth-to-junk sexual position shared simultaneously by a pair of slurp-happy individuals.
If you include only those who died while on the bench proper, the number is the square of the number most generally understood to be most lucky in Western numerology.
It's also a tricky question since none of the current members of the court have died - livingness being a necessary condition of their being current members.
And thank you for the props, Mr. Chris-face.
chris said I would get bonus points if I could answer in one word, so here goes: reciprocity
“Most Useless Common Domesticated Animal”
just wait until gas hits 2.oo per litre... horse and buggy here we come.
By shutting up, that's how.
