Found this while Trawling thought it interesting;

The Stupid Test! Here Is A Fun And Real Challenge!

Here is a very simple little test comprised of four easy questions to determine the level of your intellect. See if you have what it takes to be considered smart

Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, (the first answer that comes into your head) and PLEASE no cheating!

On your mark, get set, GO!


1: You are competing in a race and overtake the runner in second place.
In which position are you now?


Answer: If you answered that you're now in first,
you're wrong!

You overtook the second runner and took his place, therefore you are now in second place.



For the next question try not to be so dim.

2: If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?

Answer: If you answered second to last, you are wrong once again.

Think about it...
How can you overtake the person who is last? If you're behind them, they can't be last.You would have been last.



3: Take 1000. Add 40. Add another 1000.
Add 30. 1000 again. Plus 20.
Plus 1000. And plus 10.
What is the total?


Answer: 5000?
Wrong again!

The correct answer is 4100. Try again with good calculator.


4: Marie's father has five daughters:
1. Chacha
2. Cheche
3. Chichi
4. Chocho
5. ?

Question: What is the fifth daughter's name?
Think quickly... you'll find the answer below..

Answer: Chuchu?
WRONG!

It's obviously Marie!
Read the question properly.

This story has just been shown on our local news though it happened in Republic of Ireland.
Glad I wasn't in the store at the time.

I don't think it was the best idea to send the Butcher to round him up though, it has to be said.

Made me laugh

Talking of butchers (subtle link there), Ainsley Harriott was endorsing sausages for one of the large supermarkets, apparently this packaging made it to the shelves, supermarket staff were wondering what the customers were laughing at.

Ah well, back to the drawing board.

Ideally you want visible pictures so mibees 500x375 or something. You're learning fast but my cat is seconds from giving birth so I can't hold your hand

Oh, lookit the purty lights. :D

I remember a tutor at college showing us what happens when you introduce mineral oil (what a heavy duty stepper transformer is filled with) to a source of ignition.

It wasn't as good as your demo LP.

Best not to do the big demo indoors, really :)
