I cannot imagine being faced with this choice, because I would never put myself in this position, but if a freakish accident happened and I found myself in the wilds of Africa or Alaska, or floating in the Pacific, for instance, no, I wouldn't. I would try to run away, or hide, or scare it away, but I would never kill it.

I would rather be dead myself and it would be my fault, for placing myself in its world. Most humans seem to think they have the right to expect all environments to adjust for them, and I do not believe this is just. We might be the most powerful and selfish and destructive of the animals, but we are not the most valuable, because we are selfish and destructive.

Why do you want to be a human. I just can't be a human anymore. I don't like it. I just want to find out what happens after we die. I just want to find out.

Why do you want to be a human?

Take Star Trek, for example, with all of their replicator devices, capable of producing food, clean uniforms, and other items as necessary. In a world where one can taste a human liver paté without any of the messy consequences, what could possibly be wrong with trying a little human? Forget the replicators, just wait till we perfect cloning individual body parts without creating an actual life. Oh, I wouldn't want to kill anyone, but once we can cheaply and efficiently produce these delicacies, you can bet i'm turning cannibal. Never thought of that, did you?
I'll take a thigh... and a couple of butts.

What could be wrong with that?

It's for a no smoking image that I'm making (for a home cinema policy image that will be part of a slide show just like at Cineworld Cinemas before the trailers start), it needs to be of good resolution (the higher the better), of a clean, 20-something left hand holding a cigarette exactly like this: http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h91/garlicjnr2001/nosmoking.jpg
It also needs to be lit with smoke coming off it going up, & have a plain white, yellow or black background (use a piece of A3 paper or a bed sheet or something as a background).

The best photo gets the points for the best answer. You will need to upload it to rapidshare or something so I can download it.

One of my favorite things about the books is how Jo puts in subtle details that we find out about later on.. ex. the locket that they found in grimmauld place and how we find out in HBP it might be a horcrux

Did anyone else catch other little clues like that, that people might have missed reading the first time around?

This is a semi-sarcastic question I guess. I think the whole Harry phenomenon was great for the reading community in general. However “Harry Potter” seems to be the answer to half the questions posted hear concerning what to read.

So here’s the question. Besides JKR what three authors do you think have had the biggest impact on the reading community in the last 20 years. Who’s picking up the torch and saying ‘yes –it is awesome to read and write’…
