1. Ginch Gonch underwear and nothing more.
2. I don't care.
3. Be worried - normally they demolish and build a monstrosity. There is a saying by a renowed but now deceased architect: A peron's taste is inversely proportional to the amount of money they have.
4. Champagne. The rest doesn't matter.
5. I certainly do not. I swim 1km about once a week - but for the rest less.

Thanks Peter, Tom Cat & Martin. I wasn't sure how to combine your recommended attire for the Cuban party... so cream linen pants, white singlet (tank top) and a panama hat became the Cuban me. More on that later.
The other questions remain open for answers...

Anonymous: what a lame comment! if you're gonna be a bastard, at least make it funny.

My 2 cents worth:

1. A cocktail dress of course!
2. It would depend upon whether you are looking for evidence for the 'existence' of 'god' or the 'concept' of 'God'...two different kettles of fish...Einstein had a few thoughts on this.
3. You may as well be happy...the worry will just make you miserable
4. In general I don't think that either 'religious people' or 'non-religious people' hold a monopoly on happiness or sadness. It is interesting to read books such as 'Man's Search for Meaning' though to see the perspectives of those who survived concentration camps in WWII...those who survived 'intact' and those who survived but who were quite 'damaged' (or just didn't survive at all.
I do think that those who have a sense of some sort of purpose or meaning in life and a desire to help others as a part of that do tend towards more happiness than those without though. Wherever this sense comes from (religious/spiritual/elsewhere) is really an individual discovery/journey.
5. Good company
6. Afraid not.

Love

1. a pair of funky bright colourful undies as the head piece and sarong as the bottom!
2. Scienfically, it's not been proven. Until then, it's just a philosophical concept to me.
3. As long as they hold fabulous parties, I couldn't care less.
4. It's hard to say - because these 2 groups of people try to disprove the other lot all the time! Perhaps religious people have 2 more things to worry about - heaven & hell.
5. Don't really care
6. Perhaps in 1 week... Certainly not in a day.

1.as little as possible
2. you can find evidence for anything and everything
3.who cares
4. religion gives people a way to cope and a purpose. it probably makes them happier than if they did not have purpose or coping skills. likewise probably happier than other people who do not have those things.
5. must include fresh fruit. smoothies are a plus too.
6. i sure as hell don't.
