I love these hard to answer questions! Gale

Gale the only times I can think where this doesn't happen are illegal!

Hi Tracerhand, Could you please elaborate on what you meant in your response? Gale

― Gale Deslongchamps, Sunday, 25 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think if you took any single man and woman of similar age and beauty and made them kiss for a wh8le they woudl fall in love

Gale, everyone is a stranger at first I figure?? Except your parents.

Blimey tracer d'you ONLY fall in love on the first date?

What about: "After all this it turns out to be be you, my best friend, all along. Everyone saw it but us [etc]"?

This is terrible :( What I meant was to fall in love with a total stranger right on the spot just looking at them and you feel as if you had known them forever? Gale

Hm...hasn't happened to me, but I know of a couple of people who just saw each other and felt it happen, however you choose to define it.

Exactly! Gale

Hi Tracerhand :) Even parents can be strangers:( I know though that all can be worked out. :) Gale

All I meant is that everyone is a stranger at some point! At what point in The Knowing of them do these loverly electricities begin their mysterious work?

Dear Mr. Hanle y, similar age+beauty+prolonged kissing=love is true, you know. It was the subject of a very famous experiment featuring worms, ground up, and made to kiss one another. Willing adolascents find this truth in the candlelit treehouse. I may just love you.

"worms, ground up, and made to kiss one another": blimey, talk abt reductionist!!

Well Gale, the only time I've remotely experienced anything like that is when I see a girl that reminds me of an ex. But that's a very deceptive avenue to go down. Feeling like you know someone and actually knowing them are two entirely seperate matters. I appreciate that the former feels so real, but your senses cannot always be trusted.

Oh, I've done this one. If you live in a metropolitan area its about 2%. If you live in a rural area it is only 1.5%.

There is - of course - a margin of error.

Pete -- you get pointes deducted for not showing your working.

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If I showed my working I wouldn't get any points at all.

To be fair, if I showed my working I would almost definately get banged up for stalking people too.

― Pete, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

alright, how about a line-graph or at least a pie-chart. (mmm, pie- charts)

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 26 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Blimey, it's hard enough falling in wuv with someone you know pretty intimately let alone a total stranger. However I am frequently utterly repulsed by total strangers.
