1. Interesting
A - Abacus: should schools teach it in case calculators break?
Nah. What are the chances of every calculator in the world breaking and nobody being to recreate them?

B - Breadwinner: would you enter a lottery if all prizes consisted of free bread for some number of years?
Sure, as long as it wasn't nasty white bread.

C - Cannibalism: barbaric practice or misunderstood victim of cultural imperialism?
Barbaric practice.

D - Divinity: do you believe in one?
No.

E - Edible computer: good in theory or bad in theory?
Bad in theory.

F - 'Fraid of spiders?
All but the tiniest ones.

G - Gummy worms or real worms? (Which would you prefer to eat?)
Neither. I'm a vegetarian.

H - Habit: which is your worst?
Junk food.

I - Immunized against influenza?
Not this year.

J - Jury duty: have you ever served? Would you like to?
I've been summoned several times but never actually served.

K - Koran, the Movie: offensive or inspirational for Jim Carrey to be
cast as Muhammad?
The idea of Jim Carrey playing as any significant historical figure is offensive.

L - Lint: if you found a use for it, could you become a millionaire?
Probably.

M - Metric system: should the USA convert?
It would no doubt make things easier once the initial problem of conversion was over.

N - Nano-tech: is it the future?
I think it likely is.

O - Organ donor: did you sign the card or are you a bit paranoid?
Yes, as soon as I turned 18.

P - Popcorn: do you like it as much as toast?
Almost.

Q - Quadrupeds good, bipeds bad: is it a brilliant revolutionary slogan or reactionary counter-revolutionary Trotskyist propaganda?
Brilliant parody.

R - Rainbow: how long since you've seen one in person?
I forget.

S - Smell: what food do you smell before other people notice it?
Coffee.

T - Toast: does it really deserve its own appliance?
Yes. Making toast in an oven is wasteful of energy and often results in burnt toast.

U - Umpire, have you ever been angry at one?
No.

V - Vegetarianism: is it admirable, is it snobbish, or is it no big deal?
It's a personal choice.

W - Wisdom teeth: how many have you had removed?
None.

X - Xi: Would you support an initiative to add it to our alphabet?
I don't care one way or the other.

Y - Yogurt: think of as a snack, a health food, or a punishment?
Health food. I prefer soygurt but will eat dairy yougurt.

Z - Zoroastrianism and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: would you consider reading such a book?
Possibly.

2. Well, I'm definitely opinionated -
A - Abacus: should schools teach it in case calculators break? No, but they should teach it to give students some idea of history and progress.

B - Breadwinner: would you enter a lottery if all prizes consisted of free bread for some number of years? I don't gamble no matter what the prize. I'm too practical to hand over money for possibilities.

C - Cannibalism: barbaric practice or misunderstood victim of cultural imperialism? Sometimes a necessary thing but not something I'd like to see as a common practice.

D - Divinity: do you believe in one? You mean the candy? I believe in it but I don't like it. As for god, no.

E - Edible computer: good in theory or bad in theory? Very bad. Silly, in fact.

F - 'Fraid of spiders? Nope.

G - Gummy worms or real worms? (Which would you prefer to eat?) Gummy worms.

H - Habit: which is your worst? Gummy worms.

I - Immunized against influenza? No.

J - Jury duty: have you ever served? Would you like to? I've been called but never served. I have no desire to but would if called.

K - Koran, the Movie: offensive or inspirational for Jim Carrey to be
cast as Muhammad? Offensive for Jim Carrey to be cast as anything.

L - Lint: if you found a use for it, could you become a millionaire? Nah, I'd end up giving the idea away and someone else would make brazillions.

M - Metric system: should the USA convert? Yes, but I'd be hopelessly confused.

N - Nano-tech: is it the future? Is that some kind of music?

O - Organ donor: did you sign the card or are you a bit paranoid? I'm not having those guys coming round to take my liver! I'm still using it.

P - Popcorn: do you like it as much as toast? No.

Q - Quadrupeds good, bipeds bad: is it a brilliant revolutionary slogan or reactionary counter-revolutionary Trotskyist propaganda? Why can't we all just get along?

R - Rainbow: how long since you've seen one in person? Maybe six months.

S - Smell: what food do you smell before other people notice it? I don't think I do that.

T - Toast: does it really deserve its own appliance? Yes. It's the world's perfect food.

U - Umpire, have you ever been angry at one? No but I do laugh at their uniforms.

V - Vegetarianism: is it admirable, is it snobbish, or is it no big deal? It just is.

W - Wisdom teeth: how many have you had removed? None.

X - Xi: Would you support an initiative to add it to our alphabet? Where does one use it?

Y - Yogurt: think of as a snack, a health food, or a punishment? Snack.

Z - Zoroastrianism and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: would you consider reading such a book? Sure.
