Reader Question... Thursday!?
The Fly missed this on Tuesday, and forgot about it again yesterday, so today will be a make-up day. Since the Fly will be away from the computer a lot of the day, post your questions, and the Fly will answer them.
Also, this fulfills Father Time's proclamation that the Fly must regularly speak in the third person, in order that Father Time's virtuous pagan idols might be satisfied by his ability to motivate the Orthodox Drosophil.
UPDATE: Michelle put a survey on her blog, so I filled it out while I had a few minutes of down time here at the office. Maybe it'll inspire some great reader questions.

Where you want to live when you "settle down": That's so totally up in the air that it's not even funny.
Describe your dream wedding: To quote The Simpsons: "Then, by the power vested in my by the state gaming commission, I pronounce you man and wife. Here's ten dollars worth of chips. You may kiss the bride." Or maybe something a bit more formal than that, but that's something that the time, place, bride, and situation will determine.

Articles of clothing: When I meet a girl, she should definitely be wearing some clothing, unless there's an extremely good reason why she's not.

Number of CD's I own: Maybe a couple hundred? Probably not that many, but I have a bunch.
Number of piercings: just my soul, but it's been pierced a lot
Number of tattoos: none
Number of times been on T.V.: Not counting the morning announcements in school, I've been interviewed for the news once and in the background on Leno ("Jaywalking" on campus) once. Other than that, I'm not sure.
Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: How formal a paper? If you don't count the one I write for... Gee, ten or fifteen times maybe, for honor roll and that kind of thing.
Number of things in my past that I regret: not many, but too many
