Help me with my learnings!
Questions for... well, everyone, I guess:
1) How big is the gap between Asperger's Syndrome and high-functioning autism? (From what I understand the two overlap a lot. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
2) What is the Baptist Church's official stance re:stigmata? (Any info about the Baptist Church would be useful, actually- I know very little about it.)
3) What does it feel like to have a nosebleed? (I've never had one.)
4) How do you know when "coffee" is not just coffee but coffee? (Because I just made plans to go for coffee with a friend, but I think said friend may be under the impression that these plans are for coffee instead of coffee. And, um, that could be problematic!)
5) How much does Thomas Hobbes suck? (Like, a lot, right?)

ETA: From the essay I am currently writing on Hobbes' theory of the state of nature:
"Hobbes would have us believe that people tend not to murder their children because of the power of law and the state, but this is nonsense: anyone who has ever been in the same room with a fussy baby for more than ten minutes is sure to wonder why its parents do not simply drop it into the nearest lake and tell the authorities that dingoes ate it."
I don't even care if I am grossly misrepresenting Hobbes here,* I am not cutting that sentence.
* I am, but only because I don't like him.

Gross. To be honest it feels no different to having an impossibly runny nose, except it's blood instead of liquid snot. It's when it dries and you have crusts of dried blood in your nasal cavity that it becomes really unpleasant. :D
