Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them???

Yes, but we apply exfoliated skin and moisture to the towels, which can foster the growth of bacteria and mold over time.

do you go for jogging in the morning?

No. I like to have more time in the mornings and I hate feeling rushed. I also don't jog much, I prefer to walk, bike, or do indoor aerobics to supplement my powerlifting.

What was the first band or musician you were really into? Do you still like it?

Either Duran Duran or Heart. I think the DD was more influenced by my sister, who was in love with John Taylor and listened to it constantly. Heart was more my thing, even before I knew what they looked like.

What genre of music do you prefer? Share your favorite track

Grunge and 90's alt rock. I don't know if I have a favorite track though.

When was the last time you went in a trip? Where did you go, how many days did you stay and what did you visit?

To the beach in another state (in the south), for a week (or so), two years ago. We did lots of beach stuff. I don't think I've done much other traveling since then.

Why in your country just 10% of people are rich? What would you do to eradicate poverty?

I don't know where you get that stat from, but I'd argue that the top 10% in every country would be considered rich by most of the people in the country. It depends on what you mean by poverty. I am not opposed to a system of universal basic income and universal healthcare, but funding such programs must be considered as well as the overall social impact of those programs. That could go a long way to at least minimizing the impact of poverty on more people.

What animal is your biggest fear?

I'm not really afraid of animals. The one I would worry most about is an momma bear with cubs, particularly a brown bear variety.

What are the names of your 3 best friends? When and where did you meet them?

I don't really have any best friends. I spend most of my time with my wife and kids, and the time away from them or work I prefer to spend alone. I have old and close fiends, but maybe I'm too old to think of friends the same way anymore.

If all jobs had the same pay and hours, what job would you like to have?

I'd probably keep doing what I'm doing. Or maybe I'd be an historian or archeologist.

What should I do after watching a scary video that keeps me from sleeping?

Watch something silly and funny, with bright colors and a song that you can't get out of your head.

What is the scariest movie you’ve ever seen?

House of 1000 Corpses. Or Vacancy 2. The Hills Have Eyes was pretty freaky too.

What are your summer holiday plans?

Honestly, probably yard work. I'm not going anywhere and the place is a bit wild now.

Which cities would you like to visit around the world?

Tokyo, Hong Kong, Beijing, Sydney, Melbourne, London, Paris, Rome, Athens, Cairo, Budapest, Berlin, Amsterdam, Austin, New York (not high on my list), Seattle, Portland (OR), New Orleans, British Columbia, Juno, and Lima.

Was wondering if you ladies heard about the soon to be new “Frozen” movie sequel . Where the Director and writers have chosen in the next movie ,Elsa finds herself a lesbian partner. Do you think children and parents are ready for that type of exposure in animated movies?

I'm not a lady, but I don't see anything wrong with this. Lesbians exist in the world, so I don't see the point in showing kids that they do. There doens't have to be a value judgement attached to it, it can be seen as just something that "is".

Would you rather have a muscle SUV or a sports car?

SUV, assuming it's my only vehicle. I live in a place with bad roads and winter snow, so a sports car isn't going to do me much good half the year.

Who from the site would you take on a summer road trip?

I don't really know anyone on AskFM, but I prefer solo road trips anyway, so that works for me.

what's one food you will never eat?

I don't know. I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I have eaten it. Maybe sashimi.

Tell me about your flaws ?

I have none, though some might say my ego is a flaw, but it merely reflects the reality of my greatness.
