Hunh? Hey? Whah?

Ingrid is currently canvassing for folks to help her with a perception survey of Greenpeace as part of her Master studies in International Communication Management.

I will personally vouch for Ingrid as I have known her since 1992 and she is a wonderful person .

The survey is anonymous, although it does require some demographic information.

You can jump directly to the survey here.

As an incentive to encourage people to take the survey, I am willing to describe how I met Ingrid and my initial impressions of her - if 5 or more readers of this blog take the survey (just leave a comment saying you did - I may check with Ingrid just to be sure no one is stuffing the ballot box).

NOTE: there are quite a few questions and many of them require you to fill in text boxes (i.e. you have to put on your thinking caps) - so, it takes a more than 5 minutes.

(and, if you do like me, and leave one check box unticked, it won’t accept the form – but it won’t tell you which question you didn't answer either. sigh. Mine was whether I thought Greenpeace was chic)

You are welcome Ingrid! I am not convinced that my little promotion will actually help, but, hey! it can't hurt (and it looks like I might be able to get another college or university degree or two or five out of it)

maurice: thanks for dropping by, I have already done both the college and university route (electronics and computer science). I am wondering if you have anything in the way of a degree in FUD?

I second that question. "Fud?" ;)

I would love to hear how you met Ingrid, but time has been short so I have been unable to take the survey as of yet. I will try to get to it soon though, and hope that it isn't too late to be helpful to Ingrid. :)

All I need is 5 people to announce they have filled out the questionnaire for me to reveal a little bit of history (originally, I had planned on requiring 10, but after filling out the questionnaire, I reckoned 5 would be good enough).

Richard, I took the survey although I honestly am not sure if my assumption about Greenpeace is correct.

The whole point of the survey (as I understand it) is to record your opinion. There is no right or wrong answer - it is just your impressions.

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

-
I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some...

Chicken Menses

A friend of mine is an ovo-lactic vegetarian. This means that in addition to the plant matter he consumes, he also consumes dairy products and eggs. Dairy products I can accept, but eggs? … hmm, I wasn’t so sure - it sounds a bit like those vegetarians who say they eat chicken and fish. After all, the egg is an animal product. His answer was simple and satisfying, "Eggs are chicken menses. The hen will produce an egg whether she is fertilized or not. Unfertilized eggs are the discarded products of ovulation akin to menses in mammals." Image grabbed from here .
