Comments 21

21. I missed #s 4 (5 out of 6, though), 7 (I was off by 1), 11, and 21 (thought it was the Joker).

I take issue with question #10, though. The coriolis effect (which is what they are talking about) is such a weak force that it can easily be overcome in any given drain. Ergo, it can go either direction.

Which ones did you miss?

w00t! I bow to your observation skills :)

(strange, I didn't get an email for your comment... must be Sober.X gumming up the email servers)

I missed #4 (5 out of 6 also.. I had blue instead of gold), 10 (I should have gotten this one, though I agree with you), 11, 13, and 18.

13 should be easy. =) It's opposite of what you wear.

Although I do confess I had to mentally mime through the process to remember.

I had to mime through it and didn't know about reversing. You'd think I would have picked that up by now. :)

Ehh. 19. Couldn't remember:
- 3 of the 6 Campbell soup colors
- # of matches (I thought it was 30, but it should have occurred to me that it would equal the # of cigarettes in a pack)
- The No-Smoking slash (I ignore them anyway)
- I thought there were six lug-nuts on a tire.
- Couldn't remember Bashful. Cause I ain't.
- Thought the merry-go-round went Clockwise as well.

For the matches question, I was thinking "Paper Matches??" I thought they were cardboard...
Also, my truck has 6 lug-nuts. I've read that there are some cars with 4-per tire.
Bashful is one I always remember, though I always forget Doc.

I agree that the drain force isn't fair, I've seen it both ways.
I got pegged on #3, 9, 10, 12, and 19; I got 2/5 of #4 and 1.2 of #5 and 23. I don't know if I got #13 wrong because I don't know if they mean left or right facing you or on the hanger. The majority of my clothing is pull-on and often tie-in-back.

I know, several of the questions depended on the point-of-view (in front of or behind a fan, looking down or looking up from a carousel...)

Kim doesn't wear many button-up shirts. Those she wears are usually mine :)

I got 14. And I also knew five out of the six Campbell's soup colors and knew that the seventh dwarf was something starting with B.

My first reaction to the soup can question was "There's six colors?"

14!

Must be because my nose is always stuck in a book and I just don't notice things. 8)

Heh. I would be the same way if it wasn't for a little bit of martial arts training ("always be mindful of your surroundings, yada yada")

If you don't me asking, how has the martial arts affected your walk with God?

The reason I ask is that about 10 years ago I did a study on it using only the writings of non-christian partakers. It was an eye-opener.

I was a Christian before I started any martial arts training. Even though I grew up a Buddhist, I had no problem bypassing the more metaphysical or Buddhist/Zen aspects of the art. I simply viewed martial arts as a stress reduction and physical conditioning. Granted, it does help with mental focus and energy. In turn, I used that mental focus to help in prayer and meditation. There are many parallels that can be drawn in martial arts training and a Christian's walk. (practice through repetition, humility, selflessness, etc.) Though some may take offense, I see no problem finding the fingerprints of the Creator in all things, not just scripture. Martial arts are simply another aspect of life in which God can use to influence - and He can use it all to that effect if we only slow down and pay attention.
