Ponder this for a moment. If your favorite actor\/actress were a desert, what would he\/she be? I think this question is deeply relevant to our lives and deserves serious, intense thought.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charlie Chaplin: chocolate chip cookie (Simple&#8211; a universal favorite.

As it&#8217;s 3:40am and my brain has finally decided to cease its already skewed functioning, that&#8217;s it for now. However, I am officially issuing an open invitation for additions to this list. You should rise to the challenge! While not as philosophically demanding as many other questions posed in this class, I think this is by far the most important, don&#8217;t you? So go on.
