Knowledge ... I would take knowledge any day over ignorance (with a few exceptions, such as what dying feels like).
{Power} To Build or To Destroy? (Remember, both aspects are theoretically neutral, it's what you use the type of power to do (and your opinion) that governs whether it is 'good' or evil')

Mass ... I would rather be whole and living than a formless, dead cloud of energy.
{Soup} Mug or Bowl? (We have soup-mugs at home that are half way between a mug and a bowl ... they're just the right size for a full can of the stuff too
)

Bowl.
Mug or cup?
I dispute that, r_b - energy is *always* more alive than mass because life requires energy.

Mittens - gloves isolate your fingers and prevent the heat distributed by bloodflow to help warm the other fingers, thus requiring less bloodflow to the extremities, etc.
Cheesy dip or french onion?

Coolio ... the local 'tards in town say innit all the time and it infuriates me having to sit on the bus or tram hearing the word every other sentence for up to an hour at a go -_-

MMORPGs ... they're always expanding ... and they take so much more effort to do well in.

Brick & Mortar ... you can flick through a book, or read the first chapter, to see if it's any good before you buy it (this is how I find most of the manga series I read).
{Desk Ornament} One of those funny things with different coloured liquids in that you turn over and watch the stuff float/run down, or a small ornament?
