Looking For Quacks In The Pavement

Day: May 23, 2003

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Fourteen

    So here I am, surviving a week filled with workdays up to 14 hour long, sleep deprived, and looking at doing the 14th PPF, when it hits me like a lead pillow what this week’s seed idea should be.

    PAST: – Ah, the boundless, insane energy of youth. Do you remember the longest stretch of time you stayed awake?

    PRESENT: – I’ve heard of people who only need five hours, while I’m closer to nine. How much sleep per night do you need now in order to feel hale and whole?

    FUTURE: – In a world where sleep has been rendered irrelevant by advanced medical technology, what do you do with all of that extra time in the day… or night, for that matter?

    Sleep on it first if you have to, but your answers (or a link thereto) should appear in the comments when the time is right. When linking back, use the following: http://greyduck.net/ppf/

  • I’m all about the Un, baby.

    Found via J-Mo, I took the Untelligence Test.

    The Test Results Are In!

    “You kick ass.”

    You have a knack for greatness. For the record, you are 71% Un-telligent which is significantly higher than the current average of 60%.

    Here is the custom report of your personality that led our team of geeks to conclude (with confidence) that you are resourceful, sly, and guaranteed to get away with everything:

    “Interesting. While the subject shows a very high level of intelligence, his sense of observation is somewhat below average. We attribute this to the egotistical nature of the subject. Actually, rats behave in the same manner, but he’s smarter than any animal.

    “Also, as much as we hate violence, an occasional mauling is one way to solve day-to-day problems like unpleasant coworkers or pesky door-to-door salesmen; he just isn’t tough enough, sir, and he avoids any solution that involves violence.

    “Finally, the subject displayed a healthy (better than most net freaks anyway) sense of humor, a down and dirty sense of morality, and a barbaric self-confidence. The balance of these three traits is important; high levels of confidence, medium levels of morality, and a good level of humor make for the strongest individuals.”

    Yeah, that’s right, I kick ass…

    IN MY MIND! Har har.
