Curious as a Cat

1) What was the most powerful moment of silence you've ever experienced?

That might be the first time Sparky slept through the night, or one of those days when he was cranky and I couldn't get him to stay quiet...and then he crashed into an exhausted sleep suddenly.
In a spiritual sense, it's when I can't hear God. There've been a few of those moments over the years.

2) What are friends for?

To remind ourselves of two things (at least): 1) We are loved; and 2) We must love to be alive.

3) What one school subject has turned out to be the least useful or worthwhile? Is that a surprise?

This is tricky, since I have had occasion to use virtually every subject I've studied at some point at the Reference Desk. In a personal way, I'd say math, specifically algebra. I don't exactly whip out a quadratic equation on a regular basis anymore! Not a surprise, but I enjoyed doing them at the time.

4) What kind of power do you want most?

Self-control and the power to say "NO!"

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one

This picture cracks me up. Obviously, someone has interrupted an important moment in these two animals' lives. I suspect that this is a good thing for the big deer-like thing (what is that, anyway??), and if it can get its head together and take off, it might make it home free. They both look annoyed, don't they? This looks like a picture I might have taken in the mountains of Colorado, but then if I had, I'd know what they critter is!
