Subject: On that exam - oh delectable treat!


Well, then, we shall dance once more! - moving swiftly in the dark night devoid of
possible escapes, and devoured by the flames we shall set ourselves!  This is the
best set of exam questions we have ever written - and they are as follows:


Test #1
Describe succinctly what is the offense of a lamb that we should rear it, and tend
it, and lull it into security, for the express purpose of killing it (ref:
Nowhere, ch 12)

Test #2
Upon what basis did someone conclude that "at the end of his short career,
Nietzsche would side with the 'criminal' as an _irretrievable force_, virtually
superior to an order of things that excludes it"? (clue:what is and who produces
Kulture?)

Test#3
 From the viewpoint of a gai saber, how would Nietzsche's theory of will to power
be formulated today as a Physics of Energy?  (clue:Be brief, a few equations have
been known to suffice!)

Test#4
Who wrote: "There, we were given to acquire that hardness which, in all the days
of our existence, has accompanied us since; and it permitted several amongst us to
wage war on the whole world with a very light heart indeed"?  And what hardness
was that?

Test#5
Why must one be awake in the same fashion as one should dream: either not at all,
or in an interesting manner? (Ref: how joyful is the wisdom of 2322023!)

Test#6
In a well known novel, a vampire exclaims: "Oh men! Men! Race of crocodiles [who
eat their young], as Karl Moor says!  How well I know you by your deeds and how
invariably you succeed in living down to what one expects of you!"  Then he asks
of his guests with regard to the dismal scene just witnessed - of a nearly botched
execution that at last was carried out at the start of the carnival in Rome: "Here
is a man who was resigned to his fate, who was walking to the scaffold and about
to die like a coward, that is true, but at least he was about to die without
resisting and without recriminations.  Do you know what gave him that much
strength?  Do you know what consoled him? Do you know what resigned him to his
fate?"    Do you know the answer to the count's question, or the count's answer?
(no clues)

Test#7
What were the duties of the secretary of the Red-Headed League? (clue: the third
sister ship to the Titanic was...she's also the largest existing piece of wreckage
in the ocean floor)

Test#8
Which inventor, physicist, electrodynamicist, once compared his now forgotten
system of power transmission to Aladdin's lamp, of which it was said : "All this
was of the virtues of the Wonderful Lamp, which, who so possessed it, gifted him
with the fairest favour and the finest figure, with wealth power and wisdom."?

Test#9
If you will have made it so far, with a minimum of lines that is, given that all
answers are indeed simple, then there is a bonus:
Karl, not Arthur Compton discovered a fundamental wavelength whose measure varies
for all known particles of mass-energy.   What is the name of this wavelength?

We shall hurry before others begin talking about penis envy.  They will not last
long after the double exam is sprung on them.
