1. I find the moderate temperature and 20% oxygen atmosphere...
...makes it relatively easy to maintain a state of not being dead.

21. I like Earth for two reasons
a) Galactus has not yet devoured us.

2) Of all the beings that battled the Beyonder in the Secret Wars, I felt we sent some of the strongest combatants. That's something to be proud of.

d) I can't think of anything else.

There's also too high of a risk of being caught in tribal warfare. I mean for almost 60 years the two most powerful tribes were and brink of throwing the biggest rock they had onto the other tribe.

49. I was thinking it looked like it was reaching out to hug somebody...
That tree is thought to be over 1400 years old. If it wanted to throttle me, I'd let it. It's earned the right. :-)

There is music everywhere, you have but to listen for it.

And if you're lucky, you'll find a niche where you can make your own.

41. I find Humans very tasty
http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/attachment.php?attachmentid=16767

And stop with this 'healthy eating' nonsense.

Whole milk, lots of processed pork products, fatty red meat, and gallons of sugary soda are good for you.







Oh, yeah, and eat more pie. Everything's better with pie.
