A: Negative. If I cannot pass a class I need to pass then I didn't learn what was necessary. It's better to take the class again and actually learn the subject instead of faking it and collecting the consequences later.
Q: Should cannibalism be grounds for leniency in sentencing for murder as it is less wasteful?
Elemental, I am so glad you do not live in a Palestinian refugee camp.
Game on!

A: No, but you do get Brownie Points for the Calvin and Hobbes reference.
Next Question: You are presented with the opportunity to perform a great noble act(such as rescuing a kidnapping victim, getting back something stolen, even save a life), but the only way it can be done is through a lengthy campaign that involves completely discarding all pretense of honor, dignity, and social acceptability. Do you take the opportunity?

YES!!! I've alredy lost ALL dignity...
Question: Would you accept a ride to the moon, if it were involving a looooog time cryogenization (I'm waiting the dictionnary fixer right here...), with VERY few hope to see your friends and family when you'll get out?

A: No. There is nothing on the moon I'm willing to see at the cost of everything else.
Q: Same question with different variables. The final destination is Alpha Centauri. You have the option to become a colonist of a habitable world there. It is likely a one way trip which requires cryonized hibernation for a little over forty years. The screening process for skills and capability has made it impossible for anyone you know to make the trip. Would you go?

Nope. Humanity is a question of belief, not diet.
When someone says 'you are what you eat', what they are using is a reference to the process by which the body replaces worn-out cells and tissues, and how it builds new ones. Basically, when food is digested, the raw materials (mostly proteins, sugars, fats, and carbohydrates) are fed through the circulatory system and into the cells. The cells take in the materials they require, and use those materials to synthesize nucleic acids, hormones, and the like. These products are then used to manufacture new organelles and cells. In other words, the food you eat is broken into chemical 'pieces', which are then used in turn to build new parts of the body. Hence, you are made of what you have consumed. Of course, that's not true for long- cells wear out, die, and are replaced (the lifespan difffers depending on the type of cell). Thus, within reason, that Platypus cheeseburger you ate three years ago isn't likely in your system any more.
NQ: Did that make any sense?
Andrick: you don't count for this question. I know you understand.

Mwaha, of course! Although, your main problem would be to convince mermaids, merfolks, tritons and other aquatic dwellers to vote for you! That would be fun to watch...
Now, question: If you were to be sent in any T.V. series or movie, which one would you choose?
