Funny Online Tests

Ah, laziness and temptation never fails to eat me up. I am supposed to search the Internet for our report in Java tomorrow about Selection. I’m already tired of looking for something that doesn’t even seem to exist. Then I remembered this site HumanForSale.com in which you fill up your details in order for you to know how much you’re worth. At the bottom part, there was a field asking for your score in an IQ Test and this Am-I-Dumb Test. I tried the first one and saw that it was lethal, seriously. You are given some letters and all that’s left for you to do is define a sentence out of it. I actually love doing this kind of thing but not when you’re supposed to do it consecutively a lot of times! Thus, I tried the next one. The questions were really not that hard. I just can’t help but think if the answers are ‘hidden’. You know, being too philosophical. I didn’t take it with full concentration. Here’s my result:
Your Number Correct: 19/25
Average Number Correct: 18.37/25
Percentile: 53.28%
Time Taken: 4:07
You are smarter than 53.28% of the population.
Neat, eh? Haha. I then abandoned learning “my cost”. I’ll spare it for some other ‘extra’ time.
Teri Hatcher Against the Philippines
Posted on October 3, 2007 at 19:52 Down the Drain
I was falling in line for dinner when TV Patrol started. The first news on their list was about this actress named Teri Hatcher which stars in the U.S. TV show “Desperate Housewives”. I never really knew her before or even watched a single episode of the show, and I never thought I would know her this way.
(Scene: Susan Mayer talking to her doctor – 09/30/07)
Doctor: I know for a lot of women the word menopause has negative connotations. They hear, uhm, aging, brittle bones, uh, loss of sexual desire..
Susan Mayer: Okay before we go any further, can I check those diplomas ’cause I would just like to make sure that they’re not from some med school in the Philippines.
Now how ’bout that. I don’t know what was up with the scriptwriter for that episode to use the name of our country (or any other country for that matter) that way. It’s such an insult to the Filipinos. The Filipino community in the U.S. had to react, of course. Who wouldn’t? An insult of their beloved nation has just been thrown on national television! The world may have not known about what we’re truly capable of doing of yet, but we know ourselves that we can do better like any other country out there. We have the number of good exports to other countries. We could even be considered as the country with the greatest export workers. And think about being “hospitable”. This is just ridiculous – another plain issue of racism. The scriptwriter should have used “Antarctica” instead. That’d have no conflict at all. A public apology from ABC is being demanded, and I believe it should be done.
