    Looking for a game studio

    Yes, another one of those "looking for..." threads, sorry. I'm looking for an indie game studio in South Africa that has already released a few games, and their mascot/logo is some kind of bunny. Any chance somebody here has heard of it?

    Where would you hide a dead body?

    Dissolve the fleshy bits in lime, wash the residue down the drain. Dissolve the bones in hydrofluoric acid, throw whatever remains in public trash cans. Thoroughly wash all the clothes I wore while doing this.

    What would have happened to Bruce Wayne if his family had been poor?

    He wound likely have wound up in an orphanage, but still angry and bent on revenge. He would have been a problematic child, always fighting and in trouble. At some point, likely as an older teenager, he would have run away from the home, and wound up in the streets, picking fights with criminals...

    Tap water , do you drink it?

    I do drink tap water, although I usually prefer the bottled, carbonated stuff, which seems to be a typically european thing. Water quality in my area is very good.

    Voices you can listen to for long periods of time.

    Neil Gaiman has a really nice voice, and he did some audiobooks of his own novels, which is great. Great books, read in a great voice and by someone who knows the characters and story inside out and knows how they should sound

    Travelling to Iceland

    So I'm considering going to Iceland for a week or two this summer. Has anyone here been there? What is it like? On the more practical side, how widely spoken is english? How about public transport?

    What is the Oddest Thing That Has Turned Up Around Your Home?

    Well, we found some coffins in our garden shed, along with some beautiful, very sharp old-fashioned razors and three sets of glass eyes. The explanation, unfortunately, is somewhat mundane. My great-grandfather was an untertaker and used the shed as storage space. And then, when he closed...

    What makes you squee?

    Great achievements in science. Like when Curiosity had landed and we got actual, real photographs from the surface of another planet. Also, all the scientists and engineers in the control room who were so happy and excited. Just to see that level of human genius, to know what we can be capable of.

    Your Life's Highlights

    Soooo many good times :) Two world youth days. To stand amid a huge crowd of people who'd come from all corners of the world, to hear them sing and pray together. And suddenly, all the things that usually separate us, the barriers of language and culture and class, didn't matter anymore. It...

    Three years on... what would be your three wishes?

    1. For humanity to realize that the current distribution of ressources is not sustainable. A fraction of the food that's thrown away in western nations would be enough to end world hunger if it didn't end up in garbage dumps. 2. For people to stop using religion as an excuse for terrible...

    What are your thoughts on suicide?

    I don't know....it's painful for those who are left behind, who have to deal with the pain and guilt and constantly asking themselves if they shouldn't have noticed that something was wrong. I suppose people who kill themselves often don't realize that they aren't alone, that there are people...

    Clothing Items you just don't understand

    Pretty much all the current female fashion trends. Most of it seems to be geared towards making the wearer look as ridiculous as possible. Skinny jeans with three or four half-see-through shirts, all haning offf one shoulder. coupled with exposed bra straps. And then a scarf that likely weighs...

    Real Life "Oh Shit" Moments.

    Well, there was one incident during an organic chemistry lab. We'd been using chunks of sodium to dry solvents the week before. A few chunks were left over, and our supervisor was closing up for the day. There was a rule that any unlabelled equipment left lying around would be thrown out and...

    Poll: Its midnight and there's power outage. Its dark everywhere and no electricity. What would you do?

    I'd light a few candles and read a book, or just go to sleep, since it's midnight

    Poll: Are you afraid of the dark?

    No. I love the dark, I love walking at night, especially on really clear nights when the stars are incredibly bright. Indoors, I only turn the lights on when I'm in an unfamiliar place so I don't fall over stuff. Darkness or very dim lights are peaceful and comforting, more so than bright lights.
