It's not silent and seems slow so I guess the army won't have much use for it as a scouting device. 

Leave it to this guy.

Pretend that you are fantastically busy...

1. Would you rather have a driver or a butler? Why?

Even though I enjoy driving, I think a driver would be more useful if I was fantastically busy, because travel time is a lot of time during which I could be accomplishing significant things. A butler would be a great convenience, but the things he would do are probably not as time-consuming for me to do myself.

2. Would you rather have a secretary or a gardener? Why?

Secretary would be the reasonable choice, but I have to say gardener, because I would be peering over the secretary's shoulder the whole time, micromanaging everything. I can trust someone else with the garden, though.

3. Would you rather have a personal chef or a personal shopper? Why?

Chef. Good food is very valuable to me, and rather time-consuming for me to prepare. (I know there are fast dishes, but I haven't learned 'em yet.) My shopping, however, is very focused, hunt-and-retrieve shopping, and is again the sort of thing I would rather be doing myself, because I tend to research the significant purchases obsessively, and again, I want it done just right.

1. What's your screensaver?

2. How do you organize/file things?

3. What's the most paranoid thing you regularly do?

1] Are you the most 'liberal' person in your immediate "group" (family or friends--or both)?

Family-wise, my mother, father, and I are all about as "liberal" as people get, so we're about equal. The extended family is all in Poland and Catholic, so I think it's pretty safe to say we're the most "liberal" branch. Among friends, yes. There's some question as to that since one of my friends is a communist, but he's moved away from that recently (and his girlfriend's economically conservative and actually knows a whole lot about economics), and I think I'm still more socially "liberal" than he is. There are also some other friends who vaguely seem to be about where I am, but they don't keep up with politics much, so it's difficult to get a definite reading.

2]Would you consider live organ donation (ie: a kidney)? Only for family? For a friend? Or for a 'stranger'? (If eligible.)

Hell yes, for anybody, especially while I'm still a teenager who thinks he's immortal.

3] Have you ever been matched for bone marrow donation? (Once again, if eligible?) Would you do it if matched?

Never been matched. If I was, I would willingly do it. I've heard it hurts a bunch, but hey, I still have that unfilled Vicodin prescription from my oral surgeon.

Bonus: Why is there NEVER any rum??
Because our Russian friends are big friends of Tequila, which they pronounce Ta-ki-la. (Two or three Saturdays ago, three of them polished off a bottle of Patron together over dinner, and then one of them drove home.)

i) When packing to move, do you get sentimental when you dig up old objects?

ii) What's the worst vaccine you've ever had?

iii) Do you keep the boxes stuff was packed or sent in?

Bonus: Pi or e?

Especially if you armed it with something....

"Teeth" that inject a tranquilizer might be suitable for household work.

That is awesome. I had heard about it before, but I never saw a video.

I love this little tidbit in tiny text at the top of the page.
