Response to the non-numbered question: It is argued that the function of sleep can include 'a dynamic time of healing and growth for organisms' and 'physiological processes of growth and rejuvenation of the organism's immune, nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems.' This being the case one would assume more sleep rather than less is beneficial to the human organism, as befits such a wonderful natural creation, especially when regarded by itself as opposed to numerous other organisms, many of which it kills and eats. We must assume that the second answer is therefore true, since we all seek to improvement the species's betterment by all necessary means.

35. The Otago peninsula, upon which I have rambled and taken photographs and otherwise had reflective experiences, used to be a big-ass volcano. Now some volcanoes are not quite so big-ass, and their relative sizes of bigness and assness must be taken into account -- for this reason primitive peoples worldwide once described volcanoes in terms of lower natural functions, thus the Homeric line described thus:

"...and Odysseus espied the mount of Etna
Farting foul gases into the air
Much like I have done nightly
Having eaten my dolmas too quickly
Pity me, O Muse."

Similarly the Hawaiian islands were once considered 'the zits of the mother ocean,' which led to the injunction not to squeeze them too tightly.

The big-ass Dunedin volcano gave forth its own blast of foul excrudescence some millions of years in the past, causing the disturbed mother ocean, revolted at the smell, to wash over the remains in the hopes that all would eventually be hidden under the waves. This was done, and birds and seals and other creatures flocked to the new coastlines and thrived. Then first the Maori and then the Scots came, and happily killed and ate them in the manner described in the previous answer. Harmonic balance was restored in full, and now the coastline exists for people stuffed with Cadbury samples, fish and chips and generous pints of Monteiths to come down to the water's edge and marvel at it before accidentally drowning.

36. If poop were white would toilet paper be brown?

36. Bird poop is white, so possibly bird toilet paper is brown. Investigating this facet of bird life is something I leave to the experts of bird poop.

37. Is Anderson Cooper hot or what

37. This question has been phrased in a form indicating bias.

He's QUITE hot!

hey i had a really great idea tonite... how about an ASK ROXYMUZAK THREAD!!!!?!?!?!?!!!!

A hijack!

And now I ask a question of you the ip3 audience -- should gr8080 tape an "ASK NED RAGGETT" session for YouTube uploading when I am in Hawaii?

yes!

YES!!!

whaaaat?

YESYESYESYES! When will you be there. We need to compile questions!

I arrive this Thursday and will be there through Tuesday. It's as yet unclear when we'll have a chance to hang out but we will. (Special bonus guests may or may not include my sister and my folks.)

This also serves as a not so subtle hint that gr8080 needs to respond to my last message as well as get me his phone number for when I'm there.

omg finally someone who knows whats up

Questions 38 through 46 were answered last night and will be posted at Grady's leisure.

47. It is still earliesh for me here, as it is 9:25 am after a reasonably late night out with Grady showing my sis and I what is up in Honolulu that isn't endless Waikiki. So I cannot answer as I could. Also, this hotel lobby is playing Coldplay at me. Someone must die. Therefore I can only answer right now: it can, but only if assisted by the pancakes at the late night hotel diner at the Hilton we ended up at after midnight, which were called Mac Daddy Pancakes and included one option that was called 'the Elvis,' where peanut butter and bacon were swirled together in the dough. It is truly a weapon of mass destruction.

this just became thread of the year

it should be noted that for the last 6 questions, i checked the thread before we went out, and didn't give them to him until seconds before the camera started rolling.

pure, unrehearsed, spontaneous ned.

ned's voice is classic

next time yer in la, ned (and/or grady), i'll buy you a drink

Thank you all. I should note there is a bonus question that was asked of my sister which has not been posted yet.

This is the best thread ever and it could have only happened on 1p3!!

Maybe we all should do YouTube videos like this and make money from the internet fad that follows.

This is fantastic.

47. ned, will you be returning to socal soon to help battle these wildfires? i'm readying my ax and hose, personally.

47 was asked above but I will call this 47a

47a. Yes, I am returning to SoCal soon (fly back into LAX tomorrow night). On the subject of wildfires, I fear my abilities are somewhat limited, so moral support will be the extent of my help. This will consist of sitting on my balcony, smelling the smoke in the air and cowardly panicking.
