What's the worst "day job" you've ever had?
John Kelley: The worst "day job" I've ever
had was a temp job installing carpets in high school. Our boss was a

crab-like pincers. I'm sure this had something to do with his mood but he
was one mean-spirited, foul-mouthed bastard.
How much time do you spend on the internet each week? What

on the internet too.

Given the choice, would you rather stake your life on your ability to
quickly solve a complex mathematical equation, or attempt to fight/escape
from a large grizzly bear? Why?
John Kelley: Are you kidding? The
mathematical equation of course! Of course, I was a science major at UCLA
and being only 5'4" and 120 lbs., I think I would make quite a nice snack for
the bear.

You're stuck at my house. It's your turn to cook. What meal do you cook
