Hypothetically, let's suppose Kirk Hammet replaced Ron McWhatever on bass for Metallica. By a freak coincidence, Cliff Burton's guitar capability, already on the rise, made him good enough to take over rhythm duties for Hetfield, who soon realizes he's a better lead than Mustaine, who then switches to lead vocals. Does Metallica still end up producing a mutli-album turd streak through the 1990's to today beginning with the black album?

i think if cliff actually played guitar instead of bass, metallica would've gotten a lot more creative/weird/progressive. the implications on their 90's albums, though, would be hard to determine.
 
whos genius idea was it to make the hour hand smaller then the minute hand??

this really grinds my freakin gears, i mean, if i was in charge of this phenomena they would be the same size and of course the minute hand would be a bass player waving his bass over his head and chasing a guitarist around on stage....the bass would clearly be a Fender Jazz while the guitar player would be partly on fire and as each passing hour passed he would become more engulfed in flames.

this is of course for our viewing pleasure, i say this because i can think of way to many times when i pass by a clock, look up, i get the time, but i find myself highly disappointed due to the lack of a show/dinner theater type atmosphere. "when bass players attack"

Do you like your cereal real crunchy (like when you first pour it) or soggy (like towards the end)?

i favor cereal that maintains some textural integrity throughout my breakfast experience. cracklin oat bran and frosted miniwheats have been my favorite choices of late, although i have been known to indulge in the ancient art of chex o'corn from time to time (to quote a great philosopher, those chex sure do satisfy).
