The IF Factor: Questions Answered #261-270

261. If you could serve in one capacity in the military (in which you haven't already served), what would you want to do?

Well, obviously, I've never served in the military. However, I would want to do something close to my career now, and that is work in logistics. Whether it is scheduling, planning, or project management, I'd love to serve my country by using my experience and attributes towards those aspects. 

262. If you could eliminate forevermore one cause of death on earth, what would it be?

Hunger. That's such a brutal way to die. Especially, when the resources are there throughout the world unlike other terrible diseases or ailments.
 
 263. If you have had to choose the best book in history, which book would get the prize?

For me, easily, The Bible.

264. If you could cure any disease, which would it be?

Cancer. For the sole reason that it just happens. There is no rhyme or reason for why it occurs in certain people, no matter how many studies we do.
 
265. If you could be the owner of any current team in professional sports, which one would you want?

I want to say the New York Yankees, because they are my favorite sports team, and well, they are worth quite a bit. However, I'll go with my second fave, the New York Knicks. Knicks management has been brutal, and I'd love to own them and hopefully fix the notorious image their front office has.

266. If you could eliminate one odor from the earth, which one would you get rid of?

Bad body odor. Nothing like the being next to someone on the subway who hasn't showered in days.

267. If you were to select a food that best describes your character, what food would it be?

Hamburger. Simple to make, is adaptable with tons of variations and specifics, and is rarely ever a bad idea for a meal.
268. If you could arrange a jam session with any three musicians in history, who would you include? 

 This is a good one. I'll go with this grouping:

1. Jimmy Cliff
2. O.A.R.
3. Jimmy Hendrix

269. If you could invent one new home appliance, what would it do?

A tea maker. There is a coffee make for folks who drink coffee. They can just pour, and boom, they have a drink in hand. Would be nice to have a machine that makes tea for you.

270. If you were to be someone's personal computer, whose would you like to be?

I'd love to be the personal computer of someone creative. Probably, an author, or columnist of some sort. I'll go with Mike Lupica because I enjoy his work.

WWE Wrestlemania XL Review: "I absolutely loved this Wrestlemania"

It's easy to get caught up and become a prisoner of the moment. Especially in today's world where the latest moment is ostracized, super-analyzed, and hyperbolized - it's very much the clickbait, social media, microwave society we live in.  Yet, even after acknowledging that (as well as my Tribal Chief, of course), I still come to this feeling that Wrestlemania XL is one of the best Wrestlemania's, ever.  Yes, ever!  I don't need Triple H's metrics and benchmarks to influence me. No, no, no! In terms of hype, storylines, payoffs, match quality, and just overall fun - this entire weekend was amazing.  I'm slightly skewed in my preference as well. This was my son's first Wrestlemania as a pro wrestling fan. Having him at my side cheering on his favorites, getting caught up in the drama, and even crying at the end of the night because his Tribal Chief lost to "that no good Cody" added to the overall appreciation of the event.  So yeah, I have some

NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 Review: 'For super casual NXT fans like me - no complaints here'

It's become officially a tradition that NXT Stand and Deliver makes Wrestlemania weekend feel like the ultimate wrestling weekend - as if it isn't already. There is just something about a major show being held midday on a Saturday, among the hype for the already dual night of Wrestlemania - that just emanates and screams - wrestling fans, don't go anywhere all weekend.   Nonetheless, NXT Stand and Deliver 2024 for this super causal NXT viewer was entertaining. I was well aware (and followed) the story of Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes (more on that in a bit) more so than the other happenings, but that didn't matter. The show offered many reasons to check out Shawn Michaels' project on Tuesday nights.  With that said, here are some quick thoughts on NXT Stand and Deliver 2024:  - Baron Corbin is amazing on the NXT brand. For many reasons, he just never clicked for me on the major brands - and that very likely might not even be his fault. I didn't think Axiom an
