Imagine you are stuck on a deserted island for an indefinite amount of time. Would you rather be stuck with your best friend (of your same sex) or a member of the opposite sex that you don't really know?
Feel free to answer via the sidebar poll and leave your reasonings in the comments section.
A few clarifications: Assume that you are single. You cannot choose the member of the opposite sex. Legitimate monogamous relationships can be formed, if needed.

And the Roosefest begins
Teddy Roosevelt month begins. First up was a trip out to his childhood home just down the street from Gramercy Tavern. Most of the house was really poorly lit, so I didn't get many photos, but I did get one of this bust -
And this mountain sheep. Strangely, he looks happy to be there.
Here's Jeff, looking boldly toward the future, and a whole month of TR.
And here he is explaining something that's surely exceptionally cool.
There were quite a few political cartoons on display. This one was my favorite, by far.
Brigham and Di enjoying the wonderful gift shop. Jeff too.
At this point, guest photographer Jaymoo took the reigns, capturing a Teddy Head and a Teddy Bear. Iconic images, Jaymoo.
Abby, also by Jaymoo. Or perhaps it's Abbie. Or Habby (silent H). I don't really know.
I don't really know Abby, but she sure does have some fun facial expressions! Take a look at this one- very cute.
And this one. I'm surprised I don't get that one more often when I bust out my camera.
As a side note, now that I'm shooting higher quality images, and taking the time to fix my mistakes in Photoshop, I'm really noticing the quality hit they take when shrinking them for use on the web. It's kind of a shame. So, I guess what I'm saying is, if you ever see a photo you like, just let me know and I'll pass you along an original. Or perhaps if I think you need the original, I'll just send it...
Late Breaking Addendum: Afterwards, JayMoo, Stephoin y yo went to eat some Alfajores, which are Argentinian delicacies that contain Dulce de Leche, which when done right contains ash. No photos, but I can tell you they were dee-lish, ash and all. Great heads up JayMoo.

Mad Marketing
So, if you own a Mac you may have heard of this thing called MacHeist. The idea is more complicated than I wish to explain, and has generated some controversy (yay controversy!), so go check Wikipedia if you want the full details. Here's the Reader's Digest version: basically, you do these computer-related puzzles that have you looking all over the internet and you get free programs for finishing them. At the end of it all (which is probably today, from the news I'm getting), they release a bundle of apps on the cheap for public purchase. Agents (those who solve the puzzles) get a discount depending on how much they solved. Basically, this boils down to a very creative marketing strategy that happens to also be really fun.
So, the big reason why I'm passing all this info on is that if you own a Mac, you should really check out the bundle that's coming out tonight. Last years was loaded with a ton of great apps and rung in at $49 (click the Wiki for a list). I'm hoping that this year's bundle will be of equally awesome proportions. If you want to check it out, the reveal party is over at www.macheist.com at 7 PM EST tonight.
By the way, in case you are wondering, here's the list of apps I've gotten for free through doing the heists (some more useful to me than others):
