What did you want to grow up to be?

A child prodigy (in music, I always imagined) - I think the rest of my life has been compensating for the fact that I didn't.

What do you like most about yourself?

The fact that my sense of humour is so easily appealed to.

What would you change if you could?

About myself? I would be fitter and better read - oh, hang on, I can change that. Oops. About the world? I would go back in time and painlessly change history so that we didn't have quite so many people crowding the planet, getting on each other's nerves.

Why did the chicken climb Mount Everest?

Well, it didn't exactly CLIMB it. It was freeze-dried in a packet and taken up to Base Camp. Then it was cooked and eaten and carried the rest of the way in the mountaineer's stomach. I'm not sure why SHE climbed Mount Everest - it seemed kind of expensive and pointless to me.
