Q: Why? And what is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?
A: Why ask Vakkotaur? Well, why not? And you did. Also, it gives me something to do in the less active parts of the day as well as something to write about here on LJ. The answer to "the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything" is... pretty much useless without knowing what the actual ultimate question really is.

Q: What is your favorite "outfit" to wear?
A: By "outfit" I assume my renaissance festival attire rather than work or general leisure attire which is rather different. For renaissance festivals, unless I go "in mundanes" my outfit is: boots, tights (I like Faire Pair), a large shirt, belt with pouches and mug, and a cap. Optional additions are a peace-tied dagger (a Starfire), bracers, and I've used a walking stick/staff or a cane at times. The basic outfit is always the same, but the colors vary.

Q: What will I be? Will I be handsome, will I be rich?
A: You will be yourself, for what else can anyone be but himself (or herself)? You will be handsome in some eyes and not in others. You may be rich, but that depends upon which measure of wealth is used.

Q: If you could be any dessert topping, why can't you divide by zero?
A: If I could be any dessert topping, and presumably nothing else, then I could not divide by any number. Dessert toppings are not noted for their ability to perform arithmetic operations.

Slightly more seriously, division by a number results in that number of subdivions, if you will, at least for integers. Sticking to integers to keep it simple, it works like this: If I have a bunch of marbles and divide it by one, the result is that I still have one group of marbles. If I divide a single group of marbles by two, then I'd have two (smaller) groups of marbles. Dividing by three, three groups. But if I try to divide by zero, the result should be that I'd have zero groups of marbles. The marbles would have to disappear. Attempting division by zero causes a person to lose his marbles.
