I thought I would score higher, but hey, it is what it is. I prefer the "some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield", but same idea.

Do you have a sense of humor? in Humor JoeUser Forums

Here's another stupid test. This one is to see if you have a sense of humor. http://www.queendom.com/tests/minitests/fx/humor.html Do you have a sense of humor? Your score = 60 What does your score mean? Your sense of humor is pretty good. It may not be as wacky as that of some people (like us apparently) but yo

When I taught electronics, I always had my students build the series and parallel circuits. Then do the math. Then actually measure the resistance, current flow, and voltage drops to confirm the mathematics. This often helped it to be more real to them

Actually the concepts of series and parallel resistance puzzles a lot of people at first. Once you examine the mathematics behind it, it becomes very simple. Perhaps you're just viewing it through the wrong lens? Once way is to look at it from the viewpoint of current flow. This can make it seem more obvious as to why it works the way it does. Put yourself in the place of the power supply and look at where your current, or energy, is going whe

Reply to Ebonics - language or bastardization? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Personally I feel that the attempt to legitimize so-called Ebonics should be insulting to blacks in general. It is a subtle insult by liberals towards blacks. "They talk that way because they can't help it." or "That's the way they are, thay can't speak english the way the rest of us can" Even blacks, at least the ones I know personally, find ebonics to be nothing more than slang, or , as one of my friends put it, "just too lazy to talk right

1/ thing you ever did and then blamed on "lust" ? Slept with my best friend's brother's ex-wife in his house. The bad part was getting caught and having to beat him up. In self-defense, of course. 2/ lie you ever told ? I can't honestly say I recall ever telling a lie, other than the polite ones like "No, your ass doesn't look fat" kinda ones. 3/ mistake you ever made? See #1. 4/ accident you ever h

Good questions. 1. Creationist 2. Both with heavy leaning toward realist 3. Neither, they are both extremes. 4. Neither 5. Both. Pacifist most of the time, but willing to defend myself or someone who needs defense. What rules MY world? Murphy's Law, of course.

I recall seeing the same gag on some television show. I think it was candid camera or something. It was hilarious. Sounds like you had a great time.

A Question to Test Reasoning Ability in Humor JoeUser Forums

Ok, here's a question to think about. There is a man who lives in a 20 story apartment building. He lives on the 17th floor. Every morning he leaves his apartment and rides the elevator to the lobby and goes to work. Every evening he returns to his building and rides the elevator to the 14th floor. From there he climbs the stairs to his apar

LMAO I have a degree in electronics. It's actually a rather simple mathematical relationship, but I won't boggle you with it

Reply to Boggle, Anyone? in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Electricity - one resistor reduces current, two resistors in series reduces current even more, two resistors in parallel reduces current more than one resistor alone but less than two resistors in series? WTF? Actually, 2 equal resistors in parallel reduces current half as much as a single resister of
