Nestor Carbonell.

Recently, I had the fortune to watch both Lost and The Dark Knight within the same week, and I realized that Richard from Lost and Mayor Garcia from Batman were played by the same actor; appallingly, it seemed that the actor wore that same inordinate amount of eyeliner in every movie he was in! So I did some research....

And it seems like it must be natural! This was a strange revelation to me. After further research, I found this quote from some producers: "When we first saw dailies of Nestor, we were, like, 'Someone's gotta talk to him about the eyeliner situation,'" Lindelof said. "And he does not wear any mascara, no eyeliner, nothing. He is completely 100 percent sans makeup. That's the God's honest truth."

Interesting!

Survey Question: How do you choose the music you listen to: to fit your mood or change it?

Fit:85 ; Change:56 ; Undecided or both:22

Number of participants: 163
Survey taken during an ill-defined span of time during the summer of 2008.
Sample taken from the friends and acquaintances of Jared Tod Workman.
All jesting answers were dismissed.


Another set of sample answers:
Brian Sorensen: All my music makes me feel good. With varying amounts of RCK energy.
Alex 'Benji' Adan: Of course.
Curtis Hanus: Fit.
Alexis Irizarry: Change it to a better one.
Cesar Andres Acevedo: Both, really. Mostly the former.
Rob Rhoten: I suppose I choose my music to fit my mood.
Bridian Mortensen: Sometimes I find one to fit my mood. But if it’s bad, like angry or negative, then I change it! To either EFY or Sherwood. Both have an amazing ability to bring me up from whatever I’m in.

Survey Question: Do you more prefer excellent books or excellent music?

Music stood in first, with 113, Books second at 63, and 35 of those surveyed were either too apathetic or too torn to choose just one option.

Number of participants: 211
Survey taken during the month of October, 2008.
Sample taken from the friends and acquaintances of Jared Tod Workman.
All jesting answers were dismissed.

A few examples to illustrate the nature of the responses I received:
Alyssa Mortensen: Excellent books.
Noelle Mesa: How dare you ask such a question. I could not bare to live without either. I’d sooner die than choose.
Bridian Mortensen: Definitely music. Easier to obtain, and can be used to boost ones spirit regardless of whatever else they may be doing.

Survey question: What percentage of the population of the United States do you think you're more intelligent than?

Note: Since both survey results and the survey answers themselves are expressed in percentages, some may feel nonplussed. The values presented in the key located in the upper portion of the image represent the answers themselves, while the values within and immediately external to the exploded pie graph represent the percentage of survey-takers that answered within the particular range indicated. For example, 3% of the answers received from participants fell between the range of 1 to 10%. I'm never conducting a survey with a percentage as an answer ever again.

Number of participants: 589
Survey taken over the span of one week between the 16th and 23rd of January, 2009.
Sample taken from the friends and acquaintances of Jared Tod Workman, as well as a fair amount of surrounding strangers.
All ambiguous or jesting answers were dismissed.


UPDATE:
While toying with these remarkable graphs, I discovered that this illustration of a snowy-peaked mountain could further illustrate this phenomenon:




The numbers on the x-axis represent 1 through 100% and the y-axis figures are the number of times I received each answer.
