Interrogatories
On this day long ago, Alois Alzheimer got a certain disease named after him. Would you want a disease named after you, even as a scientist?
What disease or condition would you name after yourself? (For instance, Floja Roja’s disease would be where the sufferers eat the entire carton of ice cream straight out of the carton without stopping.)
Did your ancestors fight for the North, the South, or both?
Gummi candies: For or against?
When was the last time you were in the doghouse?

Zimmerman's brother just said his family has to be worried about vigilantes. I will take definition of irony for 500 Alex.

Adam Lanza kills 26 children = "a quiet boy, misunderstood". Travyon kills ZERO people = "a thug" Tell me this isn't about race.

UPDATE: Apparently, that whole Thou Shalt Not Kill thing is optional in Florida.
