Whampa

Good evening Mr. JOHN HODGMAN.

My parents say RAGNAROK is just an old Norse legend. How can I convince them my urine-hoarding is rational?

Sincerly, Stewbuilder Dennis

Two questions.

One, do you think people steal because they are desperate and actually need what they are trying to steal, or is it sort of a adrenaline rush/prestige thing? Basically, why do people steal?

Two, does a more elaborate plan have a better chance at success, or are speed and simplicity more important to getting the goods out free?

What is the proposed method of storing consciousness in a comupter? Is the plan to design an accurately functioning system of emulation or use modern computing to mimic brain functions' processes, via a non-biological pathway?
