SERIOUS QUESTIONS:

1) What do you believe is humanity's single biggest achievement?

2) If you could remove one emotion from the human psyche what emotion would you remove?

3) Who is your biggest inspiration/role model?

4) What qualities do you admire in a person?

5) Do you get heavily involved in politics or major issues in the world e.g. gay marriage etc...

FUN QUESTIONS:

1) You are surrounded by Roman centurions and they will are ready to kill you, you can bring two items from the present with you. what two items do you bring?

2) You are stranded on a desert island with a mermaid/merman (depending on your preference) Would you rather have the top half fish or bottom?

3) What do you dislike the most, the sensation when you stand up too quickly and you feel dizzy or when you feel a sneeze coming but it never quite makes it and your left sneezless?

4) Would you rather be able to fly (but its a feeble flight more like an elongated slow motion jump) or become invisible for exactly 5 minutes at a time?

5) If you could remove one pokemon from existence (all memory and records of this pokemon would be forgotten and lost to everyone except you) which pokemon would you eliminate?

6) Would you rather only browse [insert favourite website here] or browse everything but [insert favourite website here] ?
