What is your favourite type of cache?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 15 Aug 07

Since I live in an urban area, most of the caches I have done are in the city. I have spent many lunch hours finding the ones within walking distance of my place of work. I have also been on some good long hikes in the wilderness...

What is your GPSr of choice?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 15 Aug 07

What brand and model of GPSr do you use for geocaching? I've been using a Garmin Legend Cx on loan from work for the summer. Once I hand it in, I'll have to break down and get my own. I'm thinking of a Legend HCx so that tree...

American vs. Canadian football

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 27 May 07

Here in Canada, we call the sport with the oblong ball and quarterbacks and downs 'football'. The same as the Americans. However, our game has some significant differences when compared to the American game. Our field is much...

Do you think there will be a sequel to Sahara?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 27 May 07

Even though I enjoyed this film immensely, it tanked at the box office. It also spawned lawsuits and counter-suits between Clive Cussler (the author of the book) and Crusader films (the production company). Today, a jury...

So, when is 'The Big Hurt' gonna get a hit?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 19 Apr 07

4 for 31 at home! That's a .129 average! Just a little below his career average of .304. Does Frank Thomas have a problem in domes? Come on Thomas! Do we have to send you down to Syracuse so you can learn how to swing a bat...

Why do the icons I've selected for my interests keep changing?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 19 Apr 07

I've put a little effort into finding images that I like and that I think represent the interests I most respond to. So it is with more than a little annoyance that I find they have been randomly changed from time to time. It...

Do you read short story collections?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 16 Apr 07

I enjoy reading collections of short stories. They usually only take twenty minutes to an hour to read, so I can get one in before I go to bed. Not all authors can write decent short stories, however. It mostly seems to be the...

Do you read series or stand-alone novels?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 16 Apr 07

Do you generally read stories that begin and end in one book, or do you read series? It seems to be the trend in science fiction and fantasy to stretch a story out over several thousand-page books. I sometimes wonder if this is a...

What is the wierdest or funniest restaurant name you have seen?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 10 Apr 07

There is a restaurant/take-away near where my mother was born called Lick-A-Chick. They specialized in fried chicken, but you can imagine the jokes and innuendos that went with a name like that! There is also a restaurant in...

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 10 Mar 07

The province of Nova Scotia and the City of Halifax have decided that the $1.7 billion price tag to host the 2014 Commonwealth games was just too much and have pulled their support for the bid. As a result, only Glasgow,...

Where would your dream dive vacation be?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 8 Mar 07

If money and time weren't a factor, where would you most like to go for a dive vacation? I'd like to return the Great Barrier Reef again. Or try Cebu, Phillipines or Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles.

That's One Big Squid!

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 22 Feb 07

Fishermen in New Zealand caught and landed a squid that weighed 990 lbs and was 39 feet long! Do you think this is as big as they grow, or could there be bigger ones lurking down there?

Does anyone remember Zero Wing?

chuckt9881 @chuckt9881 (469) • Canada 21 Feb 07

This game is probably better known for its horrible Japanese-to-English translation than for its graphics or gameplay. The butchered cutscene dialogue at the beginning of the game featured such classic lines as:"All your base are...

Is there one character on any of the CSIs that you just want to reach out and throttle? Does somebody make you cringe every time they appear in a scene? This may be something the writers are trying to promote, or it may be one of...
