Smart nerdy girls or dumb good-looking chicks?

C++, all C is and even more!

Chicken or egg?

first chicken came with first egg already inside.

Mad Max or Superman?

Mad Max. Mankind nuking ourself into the stone age is more likely than some uber-alien actually looking like a human and being altruistic enough to bear with our stupidity.

American Football or chess?

Ha - ever watch'd mad max III - Beyond the Thunder Dome? That's one cool flick - not at last just because of Tina Turner. (We don't need another hero ...)

As for your question: chess. That's a nice game for brain training.

Tad Williams (Memory, Sorrow & Thorn) or Christopher Paolini(Inheritance Series)?

How... traditional. Couldn't you at least come up with something imaginative? Like, 1. Kc3?

Very well, 1. Nc3 (I assume you did mean the Knight. It would be very original to move the King to c3 in the opening. ). I actually used to use that move often, to then use my Bishop and Knight to checkmate my opponent quite quickly, until most of the people I used to play against started to use that against me. That's why I 1. e4 to give my King some moving space, in case that'd happen.

Sorry, yes, I meant the Knight (which is called "Springer" in German - and would be noted as 1. Sc3).

I actually used to use that move often because it was rather unusual, confused my opponents and did allow me to survive one or two moves longer than usual (like, 8 to 12 moves on average).

Republican or Democrat?

Republican, of course - who would choose anything different? ;D

A democrat. But that wasn't a "this-or-that" question, so it's still on you.

How about "neither", also known as "not American".

Neither ... I'm Austrian, so what care I about Democrats or Republicans - honestly, such a big country and only two political parties? A shame.

Again my question -- seemed to be outdrawn by that thrilling chess discussion:

Tad Williams or Christopher Paolini?
