Preferably in the mountains. It's a matter of scale.

Wallace Stevens

T.S. Elliot
This could have been either way. Wallace has great writing too.
But T.S is one of the giants in Literature.

David
Entirely subjective. And I must confess that I have only seen photographs, not the originals.

Mesa Verde
or
Chaco Canyon

Mesa Verde
Both places must be an incredible an overwhelming experience. . I confess, I have never visited neither one, but in this case, Mesa Verde will be my first choice.

The Colossus of Rhodes

@ Rilke
They are not that far from you, and it is worth the effort. You could see them both plus Canyon de Chelly in a
week long car trip, plus drive through southern Utah and see Arches National Park at the same time.

The Babylon Gardens
Because they were alive and more than just big.

Classical or Baroque music?
rilke
14-Jun-10, 08:06

Baroque
I like both. But I love Bach's music. And Vivaldi is great!

You right cascadejames...It is worth the effort to see both places !

playing the flute or playing the oboe ?
rilke

the flute
a delicate instrument

Geography or History ?
obsteve
04-Jul-10, 05:08

History
Based only on my experience of the subjects in school- I had a great History teacher and a series of crap Geography teachers.

Other than this, I could not choose between them!

Prayer or Meditation?
rilke
10-Jul-10, 15:16

Meditation
Prayer is good; however Meditation is a more deep and powerful mental tool !

to forgive or to forget?
rilke
23-Jul-10, 07:20

better for the mind.

Biology or Chemistry ?
hebrit

Canada or USA ?
obsteve

rilke

more exiting

Mathematics or Calculus?

25-Aug-10, 09:53

Mathematics
Calculus is a branch of mathematics, the study of change. So I would choose mathematics as I would get algebra and number theory as well as the calculus.


Cricket or baseball?
hebrit
25-Aug-10, 15:34

Cricket
I have never seen a cricket game, but it cannot possibly be as boring as a baseball game.

Baby boy or baby girl?
coopershawk
25-Aug-10, 20:33

Boy
Less trouble in the long run.

Watch or Play your favorite sport?
Remember Peter Sellers in "Being There."

Cricket
Hebrit

Some very strange people think that cricket is boring. Possibly this is due to the fact that Test matches (ie between countries) take place over 5 days and can still end indecisively in a draw. This is why one day cricket was introduced some 40 years ago and more recently what is known as 20:20 cricket in which each side has 20 ‘overs’ each of 6 balls. This lasts about 3 hours making it very popular but to purists it is complete anathema.

You may to interested to learn that Harold Pinter the playwright was very keen on cricket both as player and spectator believing it to be a game made by the Gods. Perhaps he used the periods when nothing appears to be happening to contemplate those periods in his plays when nothing appears to be happening!

Cricket

There is a very funny movie produced here in Quebec some years ago called 'La Grande Séduction'.

The people of a small, very remote village try to seduce a doctor into coming to their locality. Knowing the doctor loves the game of cricket, they improvise a cricket field, make costumes, learn the rules and play a game in the wilderness for the benefit of the doctor.

Here in Quebec cricket is almost completely unknown.
