I'm 17. I'm pretty cool. Not really, actually- I love Doctor Who more than anyone should, and I spend most of my day answering strangers' questions on Answers and stocking my iTunes library through Limewire. I like Frisbee and Jane Austen and algebra and politics, and I often wish I "got" crosswords. I'm taking French, and my eventual goal in life is to have a story to tell. Any sort of story will do, as long as it's exciting and doesn't involve the words "business school."
Can you help with this delicious who/whom question?
I'm trying to stick it to the kids who are sticking it to the man by posting annoying flyers with terrible grammar. So I am obnoxiously correcting all the mistakes and sending it to them because I am a nasty nerd with no life. And I need help. Here is the phrase:
"...the students whom this institution is allegedly there to serve..."
Should that be whom? Or is it who? I don't want to nitpick incorrectly.
3 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoWhat is the name for that very sheer white clothing with embroidery that you see so often in antique shops?
It's often for children, and very delicate, always white, completely see-through, incredibly gorgeous....? The embroidery is also tiny and elaborate and fine, usually just around the edges. I don't know if it has an official name, but it's so beautiful, I'd like to find some in my size.
1 AnswerHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoShould I bring a sewing machine to college with me?
I'll be living in the dorms... I do sew a lot, but I'm not sure it's worth it. How much will it weird my roommate out? How many people do bring their sewing machine with them?

2 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoDoes anyone like Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad?
Because I have to read it for class, and I'm trying to convince myself it has a plus side. What is the plus side? It was written by a guy who didn't speak English until he was 20!
5 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoHow many minority presidents have there been in the US?
Not like, black presidents. Presidents who have been elected to office, despite not having a majority of votes, because of the electoral college.
8 AnswersElections1 decade agoCan you submit the common app late?
We called the school, and my mother told them some sort of sob story about me failing at applying to colleges (which is true) and somehow convinced them to let me turn in my application late. But now that I've written groveling letters to my counselor, English teacher, and administrator, I want to make sure I can still submit the common app part.
Is there some kind of thing where it automatically won't let you turn it in late? Because that would ruin my life.
2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoHow long will I be drunk, hungover, or have smelly breath?
Because my friends and I were planning on having a party at which we get drunk together, in order to avoid getting drunk for the first time in college and getting date-raped, but I have a dentist appointment the next day. I just would rather not have my dentist think I'm a raging teenage alcoholic or anything. So if I get drunk on Monday night (and let's just assume I'm going to get really, really tipsy), will I still have boozey breath or a raging hangover at 2 pm on Tuesday?

1 AnswerOther - Television1 decade agoWhat's a good name for a cheesy infomercial time machine that runs on cow manure?
It's marketed towards farmers, but I want a name like "Shamwow" or "Ped Egg." Something tacky and catchy. Any ideas?
5 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoAre there any really cool songs about monsters, zombies, axe murderers, ghosts, vampires or Macbeth?
Not scary-sounding songs, but a little more upbeat (or mellow, but not thrashy) songs about things like awesome vampires and zombies. Like Thriller. Ideally, I'd like to find a love song about fending off zombies together. But any input is welcome. Thanks in advance.
7 AnswersRock and Pop1 decade agoWhat the jaboola is Shakespeare talking about?
I mean, I consider myself pretty good at deciphering the nonsense, but seriously, WHAT does this mean?
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments."
??
P.S. Yeah, jaboola is a word I made up on the spot to avoid using the profanity I felt inside. In case you wondered.

2 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoHow can I tell if banana bread is done? Rather urgent!?
I thought it would be brown and delicious looking, but it's not. It is sort of cracking on top. And the recipe says to leave it in for an hour, but the pan I'm using is very wide and shallow, so i think the time will be less. Can i stick a toothpick in it or something? Help!

2 AnswersJazz1 decade agoWhere can I find the complete text of the original obama-is-a-Muslim e-mail?
I need it for a Government project. And because I like to read things like that. But it would be a beautiful counterpart to my other articles about how Obama is not a Muslim and those statements are bogus, to have the original statement that he was brought up a practicing Muslim.
2 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAny ideas for a 1920's decorating scheme?

2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhen exactly would I want to watch the Perseid meteor shower in California and why?
I hear the moon sets at 1:30 and dawn begins to lighten the sky at 4:30. Is that correct? I also hear the the peak is from 4 am to 5 am. Is that also correct? Would it be juicy enough, meteor-wise, to watch from 3 to four, or is four to five vastly superior?
1 AnswerAstronomy & Space1 decade agoHow weird would it taste to use olive oil in place of vegetable oil for a cake?
