questions!

1) If you were to magically become Super Fluent in any language that has ever existed ever, which language would that be? Why?
...Too many choices!
::dithers::
I don’t know for sure, but probably some really really obscure thing wot hardly anyone (if that) knows anymore. just because I’m strange like that.

2) Turtle or tortoise?
I think turtle. I mean, they’ve both got their Discworld moments but turtles have more. (And the ones in Finding Nemo were cool, too.)

3) Three-is it a magic number? If not, what is your favorite number? Any particular reason, or just one of those Because It Is things?
I don’t think magic as such. I sort of adopted 12 as my lucky number at one point - don’t recall the reason, and don’t really think of it in that respect these days. 42 is probably my *favorite* favorite number due to the whole Answer thing, i is fun times (‘cause, dude. It’s IMAGINARY.), and five is a good number for comments, for some reason. Don’t know why I think that.

4) Describe one poster you have in your room. (Unless you don’t have any in which case I will write you a new question.)
Actually I was just considering changing most of my posters, since they’re nearly all old Miami basketball things. But the one that’s not going anywhere (is framed, even) is my BNL poster. It’s blue and the band’s all just sort of standing there, and only one of them’s looking at the camera.

5) Name one children’s author whom you would dearly love to either preserve for all time, possibly as a zombie (special fish and some sort of veg, I believe) or revive from the dead, also possibly as a zombie.
...Okay, that has to be the weirdest question ever. XD
I’ll have to go with Louis Sachar, seeing as the Wayside School books are sheer brilliance.

Morgan, I saw your request for some - am trying to think some up. No, really. I've got one so far. (ETA: They're done, and posted where you asked for them.) Anyone else who wants questions, just say so - I'll do what I can. (Might take a while, though.)

Come to think of it, everyone I asked about its being the same in Chinese also only spoke Mandarin. Bears looking into...

(And yes, probably. The Borrowers! ...er.)

According to my beloved online dictionary, both four and death are 'sei' in Cantonese. There's another one. :)

I'm not really sure about Mandarin's origins, though. Is it a constructed language? 'Cos I think I remember something about it being a conglomeration of different Chinese languages to make a standard language. Or something. Which would change everything.

I don't know. And that would change everything. Dun dun dun.
