[ABQShredHead]

Today's rather random Five:

1. What's the longest time you've spent standing?

Thirteen hours in lab back in college. On my 21st birthday even.

2. How many people here know your real name?

Probably nobody. Hi, I'm Mark. Pleased to meet you.

3. What makes you afraid?

The thought of all the outside influences acting on my children as they grow up. I hope my wife and I can teach them well enough to get through it all when we're not present.

4. What's the worst physical injury you've had?

I broke my hip playing soccer. Similar to what Bo Jackson did to his, but luckily I was turned to the side and my femur just hit the very outside of my hip and took a chunk off. It's still floating around back there. The worst part was the tearing off of all the muscle attachments from the ball end of my femur.

5. What line won't you cross?

Illegal felony acts, probably, to encompass as much that I can roll into it. I definitely couldn't murder somebody. I would protect myself if needed, but outright murder I'm not capable of. I couldn't live with the guilt. And thievery/larceny/burglary etc.

Being the man that I am, I wrapped it in paper towels, duck taped it and then took a few vicodens.
