Failed Today’s I.Q. Test

Yes, it’s Wednesday. If (like me) you’re already way behind for the week, here are some pointless things to help bury you further. Did you know that the human body produces its own alcohol? You would if you watched the Q & A stream at Text118118.com, which is part of the U.K.’s most-phoned information service. The people that work there must be REALLY smart to sit at the computer and phone all day and answer random questions on such a wide range of topics. I wonder how they’d do on this (yes, another one) I.Q. test?  That test is a little time-consuming, and I already know I’m not so bright. Besides, you don’t think I actually try all the things I present here, do you? I’m a little more sensory-oriented, so I found this test kind of amusing (though the first few problems are kind of dull). This one, in which you have to eliminate numbered moving boxes in sequence, is, well, kind of dumb. But fun if you’ve had enough coffee. And moving on down the I.Q. scale…if you’re feeling shat upon this week, think how statues must feel. Well, now you you can fight back by taking a shot at those that shat at you. And for those who prefer reading to mindlessly clicking on links, here’s an annoying riddle for you (the first to post the correct answer along with their I.Q. based on that test wins a cookie): A blind beggar had a brother who died. What relation was the blind beggar to the brother who died? “Brother” is not the answer.
