Have you ever...?

[Ravonium]

Yes, plenty.

Have you ever seen a cassowary?

[Funk]

Yes, in Berlin Zoo, I'll attach a picture to this message if I find one...

Speaking of which, have you ever been injured by an animal?

[ZoPteryx]

On occasion.  Most recently by a rather irritated garter snake that decided to bite my hand.  To be fair I was holding him, but they're not normally so grumpy about it. 

Have you ever eaten something you were sure you'd hate, but ended up really enjoying it?

[Shonisaurus]

Yes I ended up eating some eels (they reminded me of snakes) and they are delicious. They are fish like lamprey somewhat primitive.

Have you ever eaten a impaled insect or a scorpion?

[Halichoeres]

I don't think so, only aquatic arthropods.

Have you ever paid a lot for a figure you wanted, only to find it for way cheaper later?

[ZoPteryx]

There have certainly been a few CollectA figures that I paid way too much for on Amazon, only to see them on other sites for far cheaper.

Have you ever gone snorkeling or scuba diving?

[Ravonium]

No.

Have you ever realised something that you wish you didn't?

[Shonisaurus]

Yes.

Have you ever had hopes that the lottery would hit you?

[Libraraptor]

Yes.

Have you ever had hopes that the lottery would hit you?

Yes.

Have you ever stolen something from a hotel?

[Tyto_Theropod]

Yes! On two separate occasions, a 'do not disturb' door sign and a bar of soap!

Have you ever been so sleep deprived you started having weird and wacky hallucinations? (If so, please do tell us what they were!)

[Halichoeres]

I have gotten a little loopy, but to the best of my knowledge I have never hallucinated due to lack of sleep.

Have you ever worked a minimum wage job?

[Shonisaurus]

If I have worked for months in a public school as an administrator charging 720 euros per month during the economic crisis that began in 2007.

Have you ever regretted not having made peace with an adversary of yours?

[Halichoeres]

Yes, occasionally. But for the most part, I am fine with allowing people I don't get along with just departing my life.

Have you ever realized that something you were eating was moldy after you had already eaten some of it?

[Ravonium]

Yes.

Have you ever seen someone think a satirical news story is real?

[Halichoeres]

All too often. I come from credulous stock.

Have you ever broken a tooth?

[Shonisaurus]

All too often. I come from credulous stock.

Have you ever broken a tooth?

Yes I broke part of a tooth that I had to fill some dental friends in my neighborhood (I got the filling free) when chewing a chicken bone. Since then I don't bite the bones of chicken, lamb or veal chops that I used to eat whole (including bones), other than that I suffer from bursitis and I think it was the cause of my tooth breaking. Fortunately, despite everything, I have a very resistant denture.

Have you ever had a premonitory dream of something that was going to happen and has come true?

[ZoPteryx]

I don't think so, but it's difficult remember dreams sometimes.

Have you ever lost a beloved dinosaur figure?

[ITdactyl]

Lots... the bad side effect of "mi casa es su casa"

Have you ever been caught by other people with a toy in your mouth?

[The Atroxious]

A long time ago, when I was a little kid, yes.

Have you ever been stranded somewhere without easily accessible transportation and had to work out a scheme to get back home/back to your hotel?

[Halichoeres]

Many times. When I was younger I resorted to hitchhiking, or asking strangers if I could throw my broken bicycle into the back of their pickup truck. These days there are ride sharing apps, but I hate using those so they're my absolute last resort.

Have you ever been injured by a plant's defense mechanism?
