I thought that answering the questions would be an easy way to produce a quick non-culinary post, but then I realized that they weren't easy to answer at all. Here are my best responses for now:<br /><br /><i>Which biblical character do you feel you are most like?</i><br />Often, I think I'm most like like Isaac: a quiet, gullible type who generally does as he's told. Other times, I think I'm more like Eve.<br /><br /><i>Which biblical character would you marry?</i><br />This was harder to answer than I expected. Barak is an obvious choice — he's very loyal — but I don't feel like I know him very well. Elisha can do lots of neat tricks, but he's bald and I don't think he's very good with children. Bilaam has a great ass, but that's about it. (Yeah, I know. Sorry.) I might be able to learn to love Jacob, even though he is a bit of a jerk at times. But if I were Isaac, he would be my son, and that isn't even legal in Massachusetts. So I really don't know. Boaz, maybe? He seems nice. And he's rich, which doesn't hurt.<br /><br /><i>Which biblical character would you want on your team (or on your side, during a war?)</i><br />I'm going to have to be unoriginal and go with YHWH (a.k.a. God).<br /><br /><i>Which biblical character would you want to be close friends with?</i><br />Ruth. I know she'd always be there for me. Also, she has balls (metaphorically speaking, of course), which I kind of admire. <br /><br /><i>Which biblical character do you think would make an excellent Disney villain?</i><br />I'm going to be unoriginal again and choose Haman. He's devious and thoroughly evil, but also a bit of a buffoon. Disney seems to like that in a villain.<br /><br />Join in the fun!
