I've been bored and very frustrated over not being able to do much, including blogging, due to my ongoing battle with carpel tunnel. During my convalescing period I began to clean out the closets and began to re-read some of my old college notebooks. In one of them I came across a project I had to do for a Psychology class. The essence of the assignment was to develop a scientific survey where people would subconsciously reveal something about themselves without realizing it. Half of it is posted below.
I would love for you guys to keep me amused and out of trouble, by participating in this quasi-scientific experiment. Now in order for this to work online I need all your answers to be posted via the comments link. On Wednesday [change] I’ll post the answers I originally gave on the quiz, along with the keys/answers to the questions. So come back so you can determine for yourselves how you faired in the quiz. This was a riot on campus when we did this and the most fun I had in getting an A+. Hope you have fun and thanks for playing.
1. What is your horoscope sign (either Chinese or astrological)?
2. If you could be any creature in the animal kingdom, which one would you be?
Now write down 2 adjectives to describe the qualities you like most about this animal
3. What is your favorite body of water (either by name or by indicating whether it’s a pond, lake, river or ocean)?
Now write down 2 adjectives to describe the characteristics of it that you like the most.
4. If you could paint your favorite room any color, what color would it be?
Now write down 2 words to describe how that color makes you feel.
5. Now write down the first few words you can remember saying during a recent shocking or surprising event in your life?

Update 4-10-05: I will be posting the keys or answers to this quiz on my entry of 4-16-05. So please join in on the fun.
Update 7-11-04: If you're home this weekend and on the prowl for some laughs then please go visit my new dear adopted Blog Father, Harvey of Bad Example who has a really funny post on Glenn Reynolds' personal profile. It's the best medicine I've had all day! If you want to know about how I came into his family then go visit here and you'll get all the dirt. Thanks Bladdy [Blog daddy] for bringing me into your wonderful new family!
And now for some unrelated news: Happy Belated Birthday to Frank J. who has an award winning new weapon called S.M.I.T.E. This weapon is currenlty being reviewed by Cassandra Porter at the DOD for a grant (courtesy of moi in lieu of a present). From what I understand, Frank uses emerging technology that puts nanotechnology scientists to shame. Because of the advanced nature and complexity of this technology, Frank's provided really great schematics and graphics for non-technologists like me to learn and understand this new weapons system. It's really a very funny piece that is a must read!
