10 Questions.........for those who are bored!

[Lissa]

I don't normally bother to do these, but this one actually made me think a bit, so I've posted it below, with my answers, for anyone else with a bit of time to spare

1. If you could cure just one disease, which would it be, and why?

Aids, because it is killing whole generations in the Third World.

2. What is your favourite Shakespearian speech?

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Cancer... It's random, and you can't protect yourself against it. End of.

2. What is your favourite Shakespearian speech?

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady! O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing.
What of that? Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold; 'tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!

3. If you could be an animal, which would it be, and why?

A leopard. A fast, sleek, agile hunter. Need I say more?

Pulp Fiction.

Smell.

Yes. It's naive to think we're alone.

10. Could you kill another human being?

I wouldn't like to say either way!

1. If you could cure just one disease, which would it be, and why?
Does cancer count as 'one disease' as there's so many forms of it? If so, then definitely cancer.

'The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.' --William Shakespeare, Henry VI (Act IV, Scene II). (Sorry, Ed)

Angora Goat (see avatar), though it has been unkindly suggested that I'm 90% of the way there already.
