ReplyDeleteThe "correct" answer to #1 on the quiz is wrong, or the premise is flawed. Yeah. I'm that guy at the party... :(
ReplyDeleteThat is freakin funny! I might just have to buy this book!
ReplyDeleteOr enter to win it :) There are 3 copies up for grabs.
DeleteLOL, the quiz was a lot of fun. Incidently one of the answers is wrong. They did the water or syrup swim on Mythbusters.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but it was a different result for Adam than the Olympic swimmer. The answer for someone of average or below skill agreed with the answer on the test.
DeleteI haven't taken the quiz yet, I will definitely have to give it a try.
DeleteI'd rather be self-employed than work for someone else, but I like my current job (I don't want to mention the company here because they're small enough that it might make me identifiable).
ReplyDeleteI am on the wrong continent... can I scream, "Discrimination!" and scare you into sending me a copy?
ReplyDeleteTJ, did you read where I said it was the publishers restriction, not mine, you goofus? See, you need to move to North America. All of the best people live here. :P
ReplyDeleteI would love to work for The Ellen SHow. It seems like it would be a really fun place to work and you'd get to meet tons of celebrities.
ReplyDeleteNice one Jonnie! My dream job, owning a ranch. ;)
