One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Agreed. Sadly, it's a little too sophisticated for the majority of the viewing public. It's their loss (and unfortunately ours).

Aaaah - that explains why I had no clue who they are. Thanks for clearing that up. That's one of those rare occasions where I ask about something and come out looking like an idiot - gotta cherish those moments ...

I think a lot of us where in the same boat. Not having a TV nor caring about the show, I could give a rat's ass about them. Although, Kelly is nice on the eyes.

First Name: Janus
Nickname: Janosh (only by my dad; if anyone else does it, I hate it)
MacNN Handle(s): Oisín
Age: 22 (02/10-82 - that's 2nd of October, not 10th of February)
Profession: Student
Greatest achievements: Can't think of any 'great achievements'...
Fav music: Lots, pretty much everything except country, 'dansktop', and really hard heavy/death/acid/etc. metal.
Fav music group or person: Lots. At the moment Sigur Rós, efterklang, Gåte, and a billion others.
Listening to now: Was listening to Gåte ~10 mins. ago, now nothing.
Fav TV show: Lota, but probably Keeping up Appearances at the very top. And Six Feet Under.
Fav Movie: Don't know. LOTR perhaps.
Fav food: Chinese and Italian (am a vegetarian).
Fav drink: Milk, chocolate milk, orange juice, milk shake/smoothie.
Fav alcoholic Beverage: None. Everything that has even an infitesimal amount of alcohol in it is utterly undrinkable to me, which is also the reason why I've never been drunk in my life.
Fav book: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, anything by Agatha Christie.
Superman or Batman? Both are fairly idiotic, and both wear their underwear on the outside. Not a big comic/cartoon fan, apart from the classical Disneys.
Kelly, Ruben or Fantasia: Have no idea, could very possibly not care less, wouldn't know who they were if I hadn't read this thread through before replying.
Rock star or Billionaire: Rock star and billionaire, of course.
Believe in aliens: Yes. In a universe as vast as this one, it's just too far a stretch for me to think that only on this one little planet were the necessary conditions present to make possible some form of life.
Believe in ghosts: Not in the tradition 'haunting ghosts' way, but yes, believe in something like that. I think.
Car: None. Don't have a driver's license (and don't plan on getting one anytime soon).
Computer: Vega+ P4 2,0 GHz notebook + an old crappy stationary one that I never use (I think it's a Pentium 166 or something, with 32 MB of RAM and 4 GB hard drive).
Mac: None yet , but am (still) saving up for a 15" PB...
Deep dark secret: I don't keep (my own) secrets. And I've never done anything that was bad/horrible enough that I had to keep it a secret.
Secret aspiration: None, that's one of my main problems.
Dream car: Don't really have a dream car per se (see 'Car'), but really like Audi A6/A8 and most Mercs and Beamers.
Sexuality: Gay (first one in the entire thread apparently).
Relationship status: Excruciatingly single.
Height: About 1.82-1.83, I think.
Weight: A little too much, about 83 kg.
Gender: Male.
Religion: None, though technically speaking, I think I'm still a member of the Church of Denmark. Don't believe in any of it, though.
Role m
