The WebGizmos Institute of Higher Learning Brings You...

A Quiz To Prove You're No Thicko!

from WinCustomize Forums

OK...The great WebGizmos, Dock Maker Extraordinaire brings you this quiz. It's easy. Pass-Fail. No grades assigned...but are you smarter than a cat?

WG sent this to me in an effort to learn me some important stuff. He (read I) failed miserably...but to a great deal of laughter.

I'll Post the answers tomorrow. WebGizmos is not allowed to answer here (he can contribute his usual inane comments). He knows the answers and is a known cheater.

Rules? No Googling/Binging answers. The Doc will know if you cheated.... Oh yeah...Have fun!

Only by failing miserably can you prove honesty. So..."You Win!"

You can "Collect" your prize at work...we don't deliver, so come pick it up. Only three 15 ft. snow drifts and 3 black ice patches to navigate.  X|

I mentioned earlier that I'd be able to tell who was cheating/googling/binging....excuse me, gougling/binging ... and sorry to say, the author of reply #8 is disqualified.

Jafo: Turn in your thumbs, belly button and imagination.

:typo:

Doesn't matter where it was invented, smarty pants. The Quiz is American. You lose. Take off your clothing and run around Queensland in a shame/punishment lap. Also write 500 times I will not tell Doc the rules on his thread, and will behave nicely in the future.

a. Professing to know the color and not knowing how to spell the word "color" is pathognomonic of the Fibber Syndrome.

b. Jingoistic pride in inventions activated during horrific disasters is yet another.

c. Knowing the correct answer is the clincher. I also know for certain that you know how to left click and drag. Tsk, tsk. That we should see this dark day (or night, as the case may be).

Bravo HG. You are a fellow know nothing and since Jafo has been disqualified, you are the new Admin. I figure you don't want the job. OK...too bad about all that free Pizza. Jafo's been hiding that perk for years.

Are You going to supply it Seth????..........Maybe I should start calling You Dr. Pepper! XD ....actually, it might help.......if I run out of salt, I could just hide the snow, I bet with enough pepper, I could make it look just like asphalt!  :thumbsup:
