I saw these in thequestionclub and thought they were awesome. Therefore, they get reposted here.

QUESTION ONE:
At long last, someone invents "the dream VCR." This machine allows you to tape an entire evening's worth of your own dreams, which you can then watch at your leisure. However, the invention of the dream VCR will only allow you to use this device if you agree to a strange caveat: When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and your closest friends in the same room. They get to watch your dreams along with you. And if you don't agree to this, you can't use the dream VCR. Would you still do this?

QUESTION TWO:
Defying all expectation, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter in the Pacific Northwest shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. These events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the president announces that he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week. You are the front-page editor of the New York Times: What do you play as the biggest story?

Is it wrong of me to feel sad that my profile at MySpace has only 30 hits? And that for awhile I kept getting friend mails from these kinda skeevy, creepy guys? Yikes.

I get the friend requests from the really creepy guys too. My profile has 735 views, I don't know how people even find me.

Question 1: I wouldn't watch it. Some of my dreams are too creepy for me to want to see and some are too inappropriate for me to want others to see. :)

Question 2: I think I would put the President on the front page and the Loch Ness monster on the second. The Sasquatch on the third. That's a crazy day in news!

Question One: Absolutely not. And I also don't want to watch any of my family members dreams. I think we're all better off not knowing.

Question Two: I would go with the Loch Ness/Sasquatch story because personally I would be more likely to read a news story about this subject then about the president being ill. Perhaps i'm heartless, but, then, probably a lot of others are too. Also, the Loch Ness/Sasquatch story appeals to people because it's about something that people have been speculating about for years... I think that adds interest to the story.

I get friend invites from sketchy guys too. I only friend people if they go to my school or if I know who they are.

Question One - I've had that exact fantasy many times... well in my fantasy, my dreams are broadcast on TV. Oh the horror!! And the answer is NO WAY I'd do it!!! On the one hand, it would be so cool to see my dreams especially the ones that I forget as soon as I wake up. And I actually think they would be fun for other people to see because they usually have extensive plots and action... BUT.... well, let's see - I know for a fact that I've dreamed about having sexual encounters with every guy except the old man in my lab at work AND I DON'T WANT DONNIE OR THE GUYS TO FIND OUT!!! You can't help what you dream and I've heard that sex dreams are rarely about sex anyway -- they represent other things but anyway, dreams fascinate me.

I get really sketchy myspace guys hitting on me. It's pretty creepy, especially the 40 year old guys who are like "I like lots of indoor sports." Creeeepy.

One: Dude, my dreams are all about me being on The West Wing. So probably. And plus, I'm nosy, so I'd want to watch everybody else's dreams.

Two: Above The Fold: Sasquatch/Lock Ness, Below The Fold: President Health Crisis!

One: I'd probably go for it.

Two: I'd maybe do the president, I mean if there's a chance of him dying..

Oh Inquiry One. There is no way I would ever let anyone else see my dreams. I get creeped out thinking about some of them... I can't imagine my family's reaction. They'd likely have me shipped off to the nearest mental facility.

For Question Two, I think I'd have to say the Lochness Monster sounds most interesting. I think the President would have to come third in this case, because presidents come and go--but ah, the Lochness Monster has never before been proven.

And what is your name on MySpace?
