Where in the world would you most like to visit and why?
Well, I've already mentioned two places I'd love to go - New Zealand and Japan. But honestly, I don't know. I want to go everywhere, experience everything the world has to offer. But I know that's not realistic. Tbh, I'd be happy anywhere that I can choose to relax and spend time by myself - but also somewhere fun where I can try new things. Anywhere becomes the place I'd like to be once I'm with friends (who understand that I do need some time to myself! :pac:), cheesy and all as that sounds.What Martial Art do you do, for how long and what are you?
It's called Sun kune do (it has a lot of influences - we have kicks/punches/elbows/knee strikes like kickboxing/muay thai, then we also do wristlocks, leglocks, weapon defences, throws, chokes, various other types of defences. So it covers a lot of material and is pretty great as regards self defence!).
I've been training about 3 years now, although I've missed a lot recently due to other committments and I find it hard to motivate myself to go back.
I'm me. :P Kidding! I'm a brown belt, so the black belt would be the next step, if I can convince myself that I want to go back!

You can meet one person (dead or alive), who is it and why?
Again with the making me choose! I can't choose, there's so many!
Audrey Hepburn - style and poise-wise, as well as being a fairly awesome actress, she was second to none. So learning how to be less of a klutz would be why.
Hitler/Stalin - just to ask why (not to get any tips on dictatorships, oh no! ¬_¬)
Newton/Einstein/*insert mathematician or physicist here* - to see how they got their inspiration, to find out how many discoveries are just down to chance and how many are sheer brilliance!
My grandfather on my father's side - as I never got to know him, and everyone spoke of him in such glowing terms that I seriously feel like I'm missing out.
There's so many more I could add to this list, but I can get back to that at another time. 0 -

Just reading your answers to the questions made me smile like :pac:
And are you a Gleek?
I have to agree with this...your a very nice person Aoibheann!
When I think of a good question I'll come back, just had to get that one out there!:p0 -

There's too many people who are involved for all the wrong reasons that those who genuinely want to make a change get ignored, and everyone gets tarred with the same useless brush.

Do you worry about what you post online? Meh. Not so much. I'm fairly open, but I'm as open online as I am in person, and it's an amount that I'm happy with atm. If that ever changes, I'll change how I post!
favourite place in Ireland? My bed.
Otherwise, I love county Clare in general - the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, the Ailwee Caves mainly but it's such a pretty county. Just so much .
if you had one wish what would it be? To wish for an infinite amount of wishes! :P I'd probably wish to have the motivation to go along with all the ideas I have so everything in my head would actually happen!
if you could change one thing,what would it be? About the world? About myself? You'll have to be more specific here! :P I'm one of those people who thinks they can change anything like!If you didn't like Science what would you be doing instead? Erm, possibly English and History, although I think studying English at that kind of level would ruin it for me. I honestly have no idea, I find it hard to even think that I wouldn't like science.You must choose something, what do you choose and why?

I quoted that to my friend once, and he heard "raped". o.O Then we turned it into a song to the tune of "I Kissed a Girl..". It was from the puffin's point of view, and it was "I raped a man..". We're bad people.
Also, terrierists.

Ah that's tough! There's so much I'd like to change. I'd like to change the way people perceive different things - some people are so freaking prejudiced it actually makes me despair for everyone. You can't do anything remotely different, be anyway different from what's "normal" to some people or you'll be judged. On a personal note, I was the "weird" girl in my year. I was the one who was interested in everything, had an opinion on everything, had real ambitions and hobbies outside of whatever was in at the time! Oh, and I wasn't a gossip - didn't mean I wasn't highly amused to hear any such gossip about myself! And it didn't bother me. But if everyone had been bitching about one of my friends as opposed to me, it would have been an entirely different story - you don't mess with my friends! So in short, I'd like for people to actually give a person a chance before they judge them on stupid things like that!hitlersson666 wrote: »Im teh man to talk to about all Hitler related stuff!!
Last gig attended Gig? Oh god, it's been so long since I've been to a proper one tbh. Last gig of any sort was a local one on my birthday, I knew everyone playing and they made a complete show of me! Great night.

I sing, badly. I *think* I can sing maybe 2/3 songs reasonably well i.e. it won't make you want to scratch your eyes out much! I am pathetic on guitar, a decent drummer (for a beginner) and I can play the bodhrán reasonably well. Oh, and the tin-whistle. Only the last one anyway decently though! :P
Sports? I've played far too many. I'm more of a solo-sports person as I find there's far too many lazy people on teams. Here's what I've played: football (GAA and Soccer), camogie (as a young'un and I gave up as I was sick of being bashed with sticks), tennis, swimming, basketball, cycling, athletics (sprinting and javelin), a few martial arts (sun kune do properly with a wee bit of tae kwon do), fencing.. Loads more that I can't think of. The only ones I'm anyway good at though are sun kune do, fencing (purely because I'm left-handed so it's very awkward being against me!) and cycling. I sports though so I'll try anything.
Me, all-rounder? Howso?

Hasn't it become clear that I'm painfully indecisive?! I'll pick any from the stereotypical Law, Best, Cantona, Keane to Scholes, Solskjaer (epic, epic sub and all-around decent guy. Seems like he'll never leave United! One of the few quiet players in terms of the media and one of those rare types who wants to give so much back rather than just taking all he can get.). Ok, probably Solskjaer.
You study Science but have an interest in English and History and other non-Scientific things.

Are you hinting at that post what I think you're hinting at? A yes or no answer will suffice.Sneaky!
I plead the fifth choose the catmods! :pac: Do I have to choose based on personality or based on modskills? As if it's the former I can't possibly judge having only met two of them.
>_>
<_<
What issues do you feel strongly about?
Most controversial opinion?
Favourite musical instrument (ie. the one you enjoy hearing)?
Favourite food?
Define electronegativity (good idea Jako, lets see how the big theoretical physics course holds up against the wee ole LC)
Are you a real going-out-going-to-nightclubs party person, or a stay-at-home-with-friends kinda person (ie. what appeals to you most)?
Would you were consider yourself a geek, nerd, emo (:P) or none-of-the-above?
Most appealing charectoristic of a person to you?
Do you have any secrets you'll never, ever reveal?0 -

Between you and the others in this thread, you're all going to give me a huge ego. >.<Explain Rutherford's gold foil experiment.
What conclusions did he come to?
Argh! Actual effort here.
A sheet of gold foil was bombarded with alpha particles, with zinc sulphide as a detector. The expected result was in accordance with the plum pudding model (JJ Thomson), which predicted that the particles would be deflected by a few degrees maximum. However, it was found that a small no of them were deflected through very large angles (over 90 degrees). Rutherford then came to the conclusion that the plum pudding model was incorrect, and that the actual structure of the atom was thus: a large amount of the atom's charge and mass was in a very small region in the centre, the nucleus, and he proposed that outside of this there was empty space. He couldn't determine if it was positive or negative at the time, but schmeh. :P Oh, and I love this quote:
"It was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened to me in my life. It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you. On consideration, I realized that this scattering backward must be the result of a single collision, and when I made calculations I saw that it was impossible to get anything of that order of magnitude unless you took a system in which the greater part of the mass of the atom was concentrated in a minute nucleus. It was then that I had the idea of an atom with a minute massive centre, carrying a charge."

Are you hinting at that post what I think you're hinting at? A yes or no answer will suffice. I'm not sure what you think I'm hinting at, so maybe?
What issues do you feel strongly about? Stem cell research is a huge one for me. We need more research because it has so many possibilities, but people don't understand it enough for that to happen. Actually, that's the world's biggest issue for me - a lack of awareness. People don't know or understand what's going on around them, and that's why we have so many things wrong with the world. A little understanding goes a long way.
Most controversial opinion? Tbh, I think all of my opinions are fairly reasonable. A lot of people find the fact that I don't ever want to drink controversial. :P Others find the fact that I'm personally anti-abortion controversial. It isn't. I understand the reasoning behind it (this goes for both actually), but it's not something I could ever consider doing.
Favourite musical instrument (ie. the one you enjoy hearing)? It honestly depends. I find the piano very soothing, but I love drum solos (like in Take 5) and acoustic guitar is awesome.
Favourite food? I like far too much food. Italian and Indian food in general I'd say. Oh, and chocolate.
Define electronegativity (good idea Jako, lets see how the big theoretical physics course holds up against the wee ole LC) It's a measure of the attraction of an atom of an element has for the shared pair of electrons in a covalent bond. It's affected by atomic weight and distance of electrons from nucleus.
Are you a real going-out-going-to-nightclubs party person, or a stay-at-home-with-friends kinda person (ie. what appeals to you most)? The latter, by far. I love hanging out with my friends, and while I enjoy dancing, I can dance like an idiot around my house far more comfortably.
Would you were consider yourself a geek, nerd, emo (:P) or none-of-the-above? I'm a nerd through and through.
Most appealing charectoristic of a person to you? Ha! So many things make up the sneaky one I've come up with: being on the same wavelength as me. That pretty much comprises opinions, sense of humour, intelligence, likes/dislikes.. but all in one, so HAH.
Do you have any secrets you'll never, ever reveal? Of my own, or those belonging to someone else? I'm not particularly secretive per se, but I do find it difficult to talk about certain things. That's more of a trust issue with people than anything else, I don't keep secrets if I trust someone.
I'll guard someone elses' secret with my life though.

Correct :P, you need about log2(N) iterations to be precise :P
Next question, Chocolate or crisps?
S'actually pretty interesting. Nom, log2(N).
Oh god, so difficult. Chocolate, because it's delicious, it can be eaten by itself, in cake or in so many different ways. Even drinks! Hot chocolate, mmmm...0
