Who do you think is the most attractive public figure, not just physically, but all around, and why?
I have a crush for any type of beauty that is unique.
Women I find attractive include Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep (Cate's being at the top of the list). Can't stand the cloned blonde type that you see everywhere and can't really tell the difference between each other.
Can't stand women that look like prostitutes either (this include such names as Kim Basinger, Madonna, Sharon Stone and pretty much all of the on-their-glorious-20s latin pop music stars).
Of the men, I wouldn't mind some of the genes of Sean Penn, Johnny Depp or Jim Morrison.
When it comes down to it, Steven Colbert wins.
William S. Burroughs
The Washington Post this morning has a "hottest heads of state" article. First prize is Yulia Tymoshenko the prime minister of the Ukraine. Number two is some dude named Jens Stoltenberg, the PM of Norway. Obama was #15.
Hmm. Yes. She is absolutely fabulous!Quote:

I'll pay any price to spend an hour with Kim Basinger even now when she's almost sixty.Quote:

And if I may answer original question, Clint Eastwood is great, Madonna became demigoddess after the Ray of Light album, Carmack is cool, Linus is much more than I ever thought - this book is great: Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary
Steve Jobs. The guy is incredible. Truly incredible. Bill Gates was the first who realized that software is everything and hardware is nothing, but than he lost himself in those billions I suppose. That's why I admire Jobs more than Gates today.
And I'm sure all of the people I mentioned above would have been more than honored if Kim Basinger came to their Christmas party. ;)
That first picture made me think of Star Wars. :DQuote:

I'd say Obama has a fairly striking presence, he might be a good choice.
Women? That girl on Spiderman - what's her name, Kirsten Dunst? Or maybe Claudia Schiffer. I don't know, a lot of beautiful women out there...
And only so much duct tape, decisions decisions :DQuote:

Silk is the preferred material for ropes, it doesn't leave marks. Duct tape is generally preferable if the subject is a biter, screamer, or spitter.Quote:

The fact you put it in all caps doesn't stop her from looking like a prostitute.Quote:

What kind of people are Members of Mensa?
There is simply no one prevailing characteristic of Mensa members other than high IQ. There are Mensans for whom Mensa provides a sense of family, and others for whom it is a casual social activity. There have been many marriages made in Mensa, but for many people, it is simply a stimulating opportunity for the mind. Most Mensans have a good sense of humor, and they like to talk. And, usually, they have a lot to say.
Mensans range in age from 4 to 94, but most are between 20 and 60. In education they range from preschoolers to high school dropouts to people with multiple doctorates. There are Mensans on welfare and Mensans who are millionaires. As far as occupations, the range is staggering. Mensa has professors and truck drivers, scientists and firefighters, computer programmers and farmers, artists, military people, musicians, laborers, police officers, glassblowers--the diverse list goes on and on. There are famous Mensans and prize-winning Mensans, but there are many whose names you wouldn't know.
We are everywhere, we have infiltrated every level of society, muahahahahahaha....Quote:

Maybe you could give it a try. I'm just thinking, if she finds C/C++ or BASIC boring, you may forever destroy her career -- given how kids are so... immediate about things. On the other hand, if you get her something that is meant to be sort of fun while she gets to grips with the basic principles...
That, or getting into some macro magic:
Code:#include barbie
#include little_poney
int StartAdventure() {
little_poney::says "I love my dad!";
EndAdventure;
}
hmm, thats an interesting idea. Something like this -
Code:#define StartAdventure main
#define EndAdventure return 0
class little_poney {
public:
void says(char*);
void eats(char*);
void playswith(char*);
};
Almost forgot my one of my fav birds:Quote:

Pretty sure I learned OO using a barnyard exactly like the one in the prev. posts, but the base class from which all others inherited was slightly more ontologically abstract ("class Being") :p, from the classic Intermediate Perl.
Yeah. With enough time you could come up with a whole framework to teach C/C++ to young kids. Essentially an abstraction of the language relying on clever class construction and macro defining to provide them with enough material to start playing with the basic concepts of programming. And C++ certainly lends itself to these kind of alterations.Quote:

Even if I wanted, I couldn't. Until the 14th of January I'm completely swamped in work.
You wouldn't believe how my Christmas was and my New Year will be. They had 7,500 Guarantee Cards for those glucose test devices to be added to a database. Guess who they thought would be a great idea to do it? Not a professional typist, not the 2 ladies who are responsible for piling them up over the year. Instead it was the guy who developed the data entry application (that they bought!).
Only reason I agreed was because they too agreed to my rather offensive price. But that does mean I'm currently surrounded by 13 medium-sized cartoon boxes with 7500 guarantee cards and I have to insert exactly 439 cards per day for around 16 days to stay on schedule. Hardest money I've made in a long while. Only good thing is that I'm using the application I developed and it is officially confirmed: I'm a damn good developer :D
Including actors and actresses in the survey seems to diminish its usefulness. That includes a lot of people who are "public figures" precisely BECAUSE they are beautiful. I thought the question was more about well-known figures who aren't primarily known because of their appearence.
I wouldn't call Rhea Pearlman, Audrey Tautou, Shelly Duvall, Ulrich Matthes, Michael Berryman, or Ron Jeremy beautiful because of their appearance, but they are all actors/actresses I admire and wouldn't hesitate to jump into bed with (except the dudes).Quote:

Are you actually saying that (at least with Women), for you, admiration directly causes sexual attraction??Quote:

Mensa is bull......... I did their test and turned out to be in the top 3% of the Mensa if I would join and I got almost no education at all.Quote:

If that were the case, anybody who did well in school would do well on the test, so the implication is false in BOTH directionsQuote:

I do understand that no test is perfect, but something tells me that they could be a lot better. To that end, I really don't place too much value on an IQ score, Mensa membership, etc. I prefer to use my own heuristics and intuition to gauge a person's intelligence, anyway. :p
