My youngest is learning bar graphs and has to poll at least 25 people on the following question: Would you rather live in a tree house, a houseboat, a castle or a space station?
So far we have:
Castle - 5 Tree House - 1 Houseboat - 0 Space Station - 1
What os your favorite sport? Football - 0 Basketball - 0 Soccer - 0 Baseball - 0 Hockey - o
Which animal would you most like to be? Tiger - 0 Bird - 0 Fish - 0 Monkey - 0
Yep, when he asked about where they wanted to live, he forgot to ask the other questions.
Please help!
Thanks!

I refuse to answer this poll on the grounds that it apparently thinks American 'football' is called football. It isn't. And besides, it doesn't permit the answer "I would rather be a sparrow than a snail, yes I would, if I could."
Hey, if he's learning statistics, he should learn about when a sample just can't be classified easily, too. Posted by LadyDove (Member # 3000) on :

So, I'd be a tiger who loves to play soccer and lives in a castle. Sounds like my kind of life Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
quote:Originally posted by Stone_Wolf_: Tiger = power and grace.
I'm more interested in lifestyle. The monkeys seem to have a pretty good time. Plus, they get all that sign language training, so they can just ask for bananas and their trainers hand the goods over.
You don't see any sign language tigers asking for a haunch of antelope and getting that delivered, now do you?
Posted by Rico (Member # 7533) on :
No, Tigers don't ask for their food, they just take it.
I'd like to see a showdown between a sign language monkey and a tiger, we'll see who wins Posted by Stone_Wolf_ (Member # 8299) on :
Okay, so a monkey might make a better pet, but ever since I saw the movie Beast Master as a child I've wanted my own tiger. They are very nifty, the combination of strength and agility. They are (were) the top of their food chain, the mighty hunter, so lithe and cunning. Also, they are bloody cute as kittens.

Trees are a lot of fun. And you need to hire a staff of servants if you live in a castle, and they're the very devil to keep warm in winter.

I've had a tiger handpuppet for years. I used to chase my son around with it when he was little and when I caught him, I'd kiss him all over with the tiger. It was our game. For a while, I used the online nick Kissing_Tiger.

It might not be such a good idea to have a pet who is higher up on the food chain than you are.

First of all, I don't care that much if it is hard to keep the servants warm in the winter. Let them wear sweaters!
If you live in a castle, it is understood that a large retinue of servants is included in the deal. They will light fires in the fireplaces for you, and make sure that the sumptuous draperies are blocking any drafts.
The tall staircases are only a problem for the servants -- they are the ones living at the top of them. Although, you could incorporate the castle stairs into your exercise regimen.
And there is NO WAY that a castle is draftier, harder to keep warm in the winter, or has steeper stairways than a tree house. But tree houses don't have a retinue of retainers included. Just squirrels.

I've always had this infatuation with treehouses - the big multi-level kind, like what this company does. Or if I wanted to go all out, like the treehouse at Alnwick Garden in England. *drools*
(But castles are a very close second, some days a first.)

1. Treehouses are in warm, tropical regions.
2. Tree houses have Swiss Family Robinson-style makeshift elevators.
3. No moat will ever keep the Black Knight at bay. However, he does not leave his horse, and it cannot climb trees.
