2334. Here are 4 statements about me. Only one of them is true. Which one is it?

(Note: If you meet God, you will never find out if there is intelligent life on other planets, so you can't ask God if aliens exist. Also, you would get no proof that you had talked to him or her. And finally, if God doesn't exist then you don't get to meet him or her!)
- Five hours with God. It'd be groovy.

- Haven't seen the films, but I used to like the song, The Psychedelic Furs' "Pretty in Pink".
2342. Before you read this question, pick a person from your life, any person. (You have to be thinking about someone before you continue!) Would you rather have the ability to watch that person for one hour per day, or would you rather have that person watch you for one hour per day? Who is it and why? (You pick the hour - they don't know that they are being watched - it's like there are invisible TV cameras following them around.)
- Not saying who it is, and I'd rather watch him (and would be horrified if he was watching me) but the ethics of spying would make me feel queasy, and I'd probably have to stop after... oh, a week? Two? :) (One hour per day, though?? He'd want to be doing something pretty damn interesting.)

- Yes.
2345. What is your favourite breakfast?

- I'd probably let them know I know, hoping they'd stop doing it, but otherwise nothing, unless it was for something where the results were very important, or for a group project involving my own work too, and then I'd make a fuss.

2354. If you hit an animal with your car, would you get out to try and make sure it was okay?
- Theoretically yes. But once I hit an echidna and couldn't stop because there was a line of cars behind and nowhere to get off the road. I turned around when I could, but when I got back it was gone. And another time I was driving other people and we were running late, and I hit a bird, and didn't stop at all.
