Hmm... there has to be a good answer to this somewhere in my brain, but I can't think of it. I guess it'd be cool to be able to use a bow and arrow.

Cool! 

What kind of bow?

I don't really know the differences between types.

Recurve, which is shorter powered/less range.

Or a Longbow, a medieval weapon capable of shooting over 300+ yards?

ED1T: I'll also read through it if you want :3

I mean, the way you said it made Longbow sound cooler.

Okay I already have both of your emails. So I will send that,

Edit: Wizzy, you already have it, and have read it I think

What element would you choose of fire, water, earth, and air? Or would you not chose one?

[Cinnamon]

Do you have a physical TBR list, a mental one or none at all?

what is your favorite form of poetry?

Have you ever traveled to a country that is not the one you were born in?

Mechanical pencils or regular pencils?

None at all.

I guess I just do simple poems with structure on the rigid side, usually AABB or ABAB.

Yes, including Mexico and Canada plus some others.

I think mechanical. Sharpening can be a pain.

How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant?

Under the right conditions, probably a few thousand.

Or one shot at 99% of the speed of light.

I never said you were wrong. I just said it's a boring answer.

No not really. Just me being stubborn and squabbling over something I probably shouldn't have made a squabble.

Causing nuclear explosions with relativistic chickens is boring?

It's the only answer he'll give.

It's not that creative.

Well, not nuclear. But my chicken, for example, would have so much kinetic energy that it would be equivalent to a blast of 338160514 tons of TNT.

Really? I think it is. Compared to the "normal" answers you're going to get.

The atoms of the chicken moving at that speed would fuse with the atoms of the air. Nuclear fusion. Same thing that powers stars. Nuclear explosion, on top of everything else.

See the thing is the normal answers aren't normal.

Not many people are just gonna casually talk about how it would take 200 hundred chickens if you put them in the same room with the elephant and starved the chickens and not the elephant on a regular basis. 

You always talk about such science things.

Possibly, but that's not particularly relevant because it could also go the other way, as in the atoms getting ripped apart. By far, the bulk of the resulting explosion would come from kinetic energy. It would be many orders of magnitude more powerful than a nuclear bomb.
