Question from this week's Ask DeathIdentifying phrases or words have been changed.
How does one manage to not step wrong with Humans? Every time I turn around, I say something wrong, because their words twist.
Well, for one. Stop worrying about it. Words change meaning every few years. If you truly feel like you've offended someone, apologize. or not, and learn from that. If you are unsure of a word, or its meaning, or a phrase and its meaning, ask. Learning is part of humanity.
What is the funniest name you have actually heard used in the real world?
Minthorne Dyckman was an interesting one that made me laugh, a little bit anyway. Though Paphro Ditus Pike is another funny one - Paphro is just humorous sounding.
Why aren't blueberries blue?
Indigo is actually closer to the blue-scale of color, with hints of purple. So in truly technical terms, blueberries are blue. According to Newton, Indigo sits between Violet and Blue.
How do you know if a guy you've been hanging out with likes you?
In my experience, from a purely observational standpoint that said experience is, pay attention to the tone of voice and body language. People who have an interest in others tend to face you more when they speak, light touches that seem accidental, and eye contact. If you are asking about if he wishes to be more than friends, these things will most likely occur more frequently.
But in my opinion, it is just easier to ask. Second guessing body language, conversation hints and so on seems too overly complex. Though I'll be honest, asking me about relationship advice will result in more interesting observations - I've never been in a relationship, I only witness them.

What do you think the afterlife should be like and why?Well, for me, I like to think of it as quiet, star filled and relaxed. But it really should be what is pictured in the minds of those who go there - the after life should be tailored to those who go there. Dark, dreary, endless for those who deserve misery, something nice for those who deserve nice.
Does it bother you that there are people here who have the ability to thwart you?You, know it doesn't actually bother me. Everyone will die someday. Some people can just avoid me for longer, and that's okay. Because in the end, in the end everyone meets me. I am the last one who will be standing at the end of the universe.
If someone is dead back home but alive here, they're alive for good here?Yes. If you are alive here, unless you are someone like Kenny, who dies because he finds it fun, then you are alive here. Mind you, if the Dome decides to throw us in a situation to kill people, generally speaking, you'll come back because even I am not that cruel.
So what's the Empty likeEmpty. Literally. Empty. Devoid. Dead. Silent. Black. Full of darkness. Oblivion. It's pretty bland.
