Jaime poses the question: Would you rather be eaten by a shark or devoured by a lion? |
John says: Is there such thing as a lion shark? |
Mary says: Lion--I don't swim very well so it'd be sort of a cheap shot for a shark to eat me. With a lion I'd at least feel like he deserved it when he ate me. |
Lewis says: lion. their teeth seem less sharp? |
Jaime says: I would choose the lion because it would break my neck quickly and everything would be over. It seems as though the shark would bite may arm off before it really ended things for me. |
| Sadie says: Shark---my remains would sink to the bottom of the ocean for no one else to find or have to take care of. |
John says: In reality, would I get a choice? Surely it's the shark or lion that gets to choose me. Who, after all, is the empowered agent in a prey-predator scenario? |

 Me and Mary in the depths. |

Alice Gray--a pioneer of astrological physics. She became a hermit on the shores of Lake Michigan and her lover beat her to death. They say she still haunts the shores and I try to explain the geodynamic phenomenon of singing sands. I am seen as a humbug who wants to explain away the resident ghost, Diana of the Dunes. |
My dad. |
Be wary: undertow, pressure systems, lunar pull and tidal force— all very natural disasters. Waves move forward but particles remain static. or with the heart. It is the seismic shift concurrent with an earthquake, when fault lines suffer from shear stress. |
| Goals: I'm a PhD student in Physics specializing in geodynamics. I'm studying the physics of love waves and singing sands. Most of my friends are lit and art-types who know nothing about what I do. I work at the Burrito place because I need the cash, but also because I spend the rest of my time in the lab and this is the only way I get to see people (and to eat!). |
| Favorite Food: I would be a very rich and zesty guacamole with blue corn tortilla chips. |
| Best Body Part: Strangers ask me where I get my eyeborws done and I am smug in the knowledge that they are naturally this nice. |
| A secret about you: I'm addicted to the BBC's Planet Earth. I have dreams that David Attenborough will take me in his arms and let me ruffle his mopsy whitish hair. Together, we will make a Planet Earth that focuses on geology (rather than those cute baby polar bears--he needs to save that adoration and attention for me!). |
| A wish of yours: I am secretly a sucker for television commercials in which advertisers enlarge your skin or nasal passages and show the cleanser, medicine, etc moving in to scoop the dirt from your pores or sooth each allergy-irritated cell. I wish that I could shrink to an amazingly tiny size and I could be a very special medical professional who could explore cells and blood vessels and pores and could be in a position to help because I could be hands on in a terribly tiny area. |
| Most Embarrassing Moment: As a little girl, I was really girly and very much into My Little Ponies. Not content with the plastic ponies, I also kept ponies as my imaginary friends an on walks around the neighborhood, I held one hand out to grip the leashes of the normal ponies and my other arm was up in the air to accommodate the reins of the flying ponies. The ponies had a little dragon friend (Snapper) who was shunned by the other dragons because he couldn't fly. My baby sister's bouncy swing was stored hanging from a nail in the basement. I would pretend to be Snapper and I would lay across the swing and sway and mock the other imaginary dragons because now I could fly. This lasted until the nail bent, the swing and I fell, and my arm (along with my over active imagination) was broken. I told my mom that the swing fell on me and she's puzzled over the matter ever since. |
