You're not dead are you?

I have a monk neighbour, Leon, who lives in a cave in the mountains nearby .
He favours purple robes, with a bit of saffron thrown in.
I have never enquired as to exactly what variety of monk he considers himself to be, however, I do not believe he manufactures brandy...

Well if he doesn't manufacture brandy then it's no good at all!
Silly random question 2:
Which is heavier, gas or air?

How heavy can your mind be? In Rock 'n Roll parlance, a 'heavy' 
mind is a thoughtful one. Which is a rare thing, considering all the empty heads there seem to be in the world
I will attempt to elucidate:
Any difference in weight between gas and air would depend solely on your observation of gas and air. Since the mental act of your observation influences the outcome, it is your mind that is the determinant.
Further, since there is no way of actually proving the existence of either gas, or air, they exist solely in mind, which is then by definition heavier than either, because it contains both.
Finally, since there is no way of defintitively proving one's own objective existence, any perceived difference between any number of illusory things is itself illusory.

Nope! You answered that question incorrectly! You lose the point you won in the first question! I am sorry, Taliesin, you are on 0 points!

It's okay, you can rectify it, as silly random question number 3 has two points you can possibly win.
3a) Would you agree with Germaine Greer and say that Kurt Cobain is good looking?
3b) How does one usually say hello to another in Austria?

You get one mark for that. Okay end of the silly random quiz for now. How are you?
