well, I like the changed name.

Since cvirtue called it "Am I weirder or cooler than my friends?" I had to continue it.

1: Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does:

Jean-Jacques Goldman, Non Homologue

2: Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does:

Stephen Wilhelm, A History of the Strawberry: from Ancient Gardens to Modern Markets.
   Most people probably don't know that the modern strawberry is a hybrid of the European woods strawberry, the California beach strawberry, and the Chilean strawberry. Even fewer probably care. I found it interesting, though, in an overly-technical kind of way.

3: Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does:

Deathrace 2000 might be obscure enough to qualify.

4: Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has:

The Paris catacombs. There, scendan, I've put up a picture of me from the high school era.

For #3 I was going to use the equally obscure food book Essai sur l'Histoire de la Moutarde de Dijon, but then I would have had to make all four French and I didn't feel like doing that...

What I'm reading: Elizabeth Moon, Marque and Reprisal

Not sure. That catacomb tour I was on went through other passageways than the catacombs per se, but I don't think it was the old sewer works. You might have me, there. Can you describe it a bit?

It was a separate tour (although we did the catacombs and sewers in the same day, 'cause it seemed appropriate). You got to see the full-on underground Paris sewer network, including the treatment facilities.

Amazing how much is needed for such a large, dense population. And no alligators (http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_339.html) anywhere!

I think I missed that, but it sounds really interesting!

Have you done the Seattle underground (first story) tour? Interesting.
