| This week's questions were suggested by electronic-replicant.com.
1) You are on your way to work, when suddenly a wormhole to the far side of the galaxy opens in the middle of the road. You are thus the first to meet the alien being that emerges. Despite your protestations, you are now Earth’s unofficial First Contact ambassador. What will you say to the visitor?
2) A wandering trading caravan emerges from the wormhole. They plan to stay on Earth for a few weeks, and then will move on to the next planet and the next. Whatever you said must have really impressed them, because they offer to let you and a few other humans come along with them. The only catch is that the caravan probably won’t be back to Earth. Would you go? Why or why not?
3) Suppose you decided to go. The master of the caravan will allow you to bring along whatever trinkets and baubles you think will sell on alien worlds, and will also allow you to bring exactly five other items that you may always keep. Clearly, he does not mean practical items like shoes or a toothbrush. What would you bring?
4) Suppose you decided to stay home after all. The caravan master offers you a parting gift. You may choose among super-brain pills, a flying car, a robot butler, or an invisibility belt. Which would you choose and why?
5) Suppose you ended up taking the super-brain pills. You now have a head the size, shape, and color of a watermelon. But you also now have the most fantastic mind the world has ever seen. What would be the first task you set it to?

| This is a difficult post to write, but I wanted to let everyone know that leanasidhe (Erin), one of the moderators for thefridayfive and the one who started this community after the original Friday Five website ceased being active, passed away last Tuesday, May 11.
She was 30 and stopped breathing during an asthma attack. Once her heart stopped, ambulance staff were unable to revive her. I knew Erin in person as well as online and can honestly say that she had one of the sweetest, gentlest spirits of anyone I've ever met. She was taken from us way too soon and definitely too suddenly. We will continue this community, but as Erin's fellow moderators, we wanted to let you know why you won't be seeing posts from her around thefridayfive.
Please keep Erin and her family and other loved ones in your thoughts. If anyone would like to write an e-mail/online note that can be sent to her parents, please leave a comment and we can set this up. | comments: 121 comments or Leave a comment  |
