      <description><![CDATA[Thanks Skids, I have a dark dark confession. I became a minion of google a while back and already have a hubpages account :-) In order not to go to the 598th level of hell with the traffic wardens, senior bankers and all MPs MEPs and MSPs I refrain from posting my link on things that don't belong to me. (Gets a 103 levels discount! in with the insurance people, workers of public transport and little grannies with battering rams on wheels, I mean, shopping trollies)

I was curious as to who else scribes for the devil.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I don't have a hubpages account, but after a quick look, if you are thinking of using one to generate a little income, it doesn't like a scam. You make money from advertising and then spamming people to visit your article, increasing your hit rate and thus the site's advertising revenue.

Assuming that hubpages pay up (I have no knowledge whether they do or don't) and that you have the time to write the articles, the only cost of the small payouts would be that you, as a spammer, would be classified alongside traffic wardens, senior banking staff and U.K. M.P.s caught with their hands in public coffers.

There is a reasonable article [url=http://www.socialmediatoday.com/SMC/177477]here.[/url]]]></description>

I now see that my original answer to question 10 (is it smaller than an adult human?) was not fully correct. It [i]is[/i] smaller in common sense, but larger in one important aspect. It is never the [i]same[/i] size, though.
My apologies for any inconveniences caused.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I [i]think[/i] that I prefer the film of &quot;The Princess Bride&quot; to the book, but it is a close-run thing.


I tend to treat &quot;Bladerunner&quot; &quot;Androids&quot; as separate entities because there is so little similarity. I suspect that I will feel the same about &quot;Alice in Wonderland&quot; as it is not the same story as the book, just the same characters. We are going to see it this afternoon.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Brought up on Alice In Wonderland books - my Mother collects them - but I thought in many ways the Tim Burton film was better than the book it was based on. It was certainly better than the reviews I'd read had lead me to expect - although I did find the 3d thing a bit distracting.

Since then I've been trying to think of any other films based on books that I'd rather watch than read. Are there any?]]></description>
