You know, "obeservation" reminds me of this forward my friend sent me. Keep in mind that it is a forward, so that beginning stuff could not be true, but it is still entertaining.

The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are this year's winners:

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. (though this is good too)

4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

11. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

13. Glibido: All talk and no action.

14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an @$$hole.

Those are funny!

No pop up face. It's just a 25 question test. It says most people only get 7 out of 25????
Give it a try. Promise, not a gag.

Whoo hoo

21/25!!

Hmm...must not be working on my computer...I just get a gray block (then the intense pit of my stomach agony waiting for the possibility of the eyeless face...!)

Mine does the same thing... weird.

I assume the eyeless face that screams is going to pop up and I am SOOO not falling for THAT again!

I love that gag. =) Brilliantly wicked. My favorite story about hearing someone fall for that was while at work, in their cube. Everyone is working silently, then AAHHHHH!!!! comes from that one person who's checking their personal e-mail on company time. Priceless. =) Gives me giggles just thinking about it.

I wonder what ever happened to the guy who first created that little prank. Seems like whoever it was would likely not have a long life span. There's probably a million people gunning for him.

Funny how that works, huh? =)

You're not alone, Sprite. I don't see anything (mac) and I listened to the sound for 3 minutes (not 20, CQ) - Then I clicked on the grey matter and nothing! I am too tired to understand. I typed in 'old black jack' at snopes and didn't see anything right away. I'm guessing this is a joke. I don't feel like being scared out of my wits before bedtime, but the hypnotic music sure sounded about right for bedtime.

If it doesn't work, you probably don't have Flash Player installed...

It is not a joke. I took the test and it worked. There may be something with the language it uses that your browser doesn't like...

Yep, we did that to our boss at work! She screamed so loud the other side of the building heard her-- man, that was funny!

firefox may be the problem...
I have a flash player installed and still nothing.
I have threatened to ban any site that is not compliant with firefox...
I love firefox!

I got 21 right. I should have got 22. The test said there are fifty states. The test is wrong. Four of them are not states...there are two commonwealths and two republics and forty-six states. so I guessed that way and it said I was wrong, there are 50 states. humph.

Oh, the real evil was the fact that my DAD (who KNOWS what a crybaby his only daughter is about scary crap) is the one who sent it to ME! Luckily, I had opened the page and was checking other e-mail with the sound down low, so I didn't see the pic at first. I just kept hearing this faint scream (while in a house that had a Blair Witch Project basement, I might add). So I finally find the page again under all the stuff and I just barely catch a flick of something. I wait to see what it was and then it POPS up again!

I kid you NOT, I had a brief moment where I thought something truly evil was in my computer and I almost cried right THERE! Then I realized what was going on and was all HURT and upset with my dad for sending me something so awful...until I realize I could show it to the Highlander. THEN it was REALLY funny (especially when he actually leapt backward and just about SPIT the "f" word out as hard as he could! ROFL) HE didn't think it was very funny, either, until I told HIM we could send it to other people...it's an insidious sort of evil...!

Wow. 18/25.

Do US merry-gorounds rotate in the opposite direction to ones in Britain?

Those were great. Send more when you get them. My favorite is:

If you've been on trail, you've done that dance.

19 of 25 but the fan one was a trick question.

Okay, I don't know what gag y'all are talkin' about. Please, someone send it to me. But, warn me so I don't get in trouble. I promise to send it to unsuspecting friends.

Janet, BF

Well, maybe. Does our water flow a different direction or are we on the same side of the equator?

Janet, BF (who failed geography and is to lazy to look at a map.)

Hey DM.

I think everything goes in reverse direction over here. Our horse races even go opposite (I think) Ours go counter-clock wise.

23 out of 25 and one was because I was looking at my right hand and clicked left. I guess I got off the short bus today!

18/25. In my defense, I don't use match books, and my venetian blind things are on the right for some reason. ;)

Okay, just know that I had to brave my own demons to FIND this and quickly copy the link before the scary face popped up...holy cow, I'm actually SWEATING!!! I am the BIGGEST chicken in the WORLD, honestly!

There's another one that has this car driving around, but I didn't have the guts to go in search of another one. You're supposed to follow it closely, then it goes behind some trees and ARGHHHHHH! (shudders in horror) Oh, and they both SCREAM at you, too, so don't have your volume blasted the way SOME good friends might tell you to (okay, now I'm laughing again thinking of the Highlander cussing his face off after seeing it...hur hur hur!)

Oh Sprite!

I hadn't seen that one. This is the one I've seen. You're supposed to tell your friends to look closely at the 2 photographs to find the difference. You tell them to concentrate because it takes a few minutes to find it.

I'm not even going to pretend to look at that! LOL Knowing what it is will be good enough for me! :-)

You are so sweet to go through that for me. Thank you.

It is awful. That face, I don't even think a mother could love that, LOL.

Just know, I will be having the nightmares with you.

I don't think that makes me feel any better...I wouldn't wish the eyeless face on ANYONE I like (well, except the ones that would make me laugh while I watched them scream in terror, but otherwise NO ONE!)

24/25. I only missed the colors of the Campbell Soup can.

My count is 3 so far. I had one of the aides watch it last night. She so deserved it. She sneaks up on me and scares me all the time. I've told her to stop. She's lucky I don't have my mace sitting in front of me. I used to have to work in a building in a very scary neighborhood for a year, BY MYSELF! I had to call the cops too many times. I bet she gets the message now, hehehehe. She jumped so far back in the chair, she hit me. It was so funny, I caught a catch in my side from laughing.

Then, I sent it to my boss. She deserved it too. She had me thinking I had to work on the Fourth, when I actually had it off long before I even requested it. I told her then, I was going to get her back. She said she was looking at something else when it came on and she screamed so loud, the others in nearby offices heard her. Man, I wish I had been there. I did have someone on the listenout for me. She'll tell me in the morning. I'm glad I'm not up for a raise right now.

The third, that was just maliciousness on my part. She didn't deserve it at all. And now, she's told me I'm going to a place I don't want to go to. I'm going to have to be really good for the rest of the night, and that's not easy.

Sleep tight,
Janet, Blooming Flowers
