205 - Disappointing Saturday

Well, my UCONN Husky Men's team lost to Michigan State on Saturday night. It was like they didn't even show up to play. It was painful to watch. Sunday night, the UCONN Women will hopefully gain their next win against Stanford, to make it to the championship game. Then, March Madness, is over.

A week or so ago, I mentioned the plastic Vettes that my friend gave me and how I was having them painted. Here's a picture of them (not sure why the pictures didn't come out better... )

They came out great. From top left to bottom right, there's the convertible, the coupe (like mine) and the fixed roof coupe. My friend did a fantastic job painting them. He was shocked when he got the bill for the paint, but I had told him ahead of time it was VERY expensive paint if he used the actual Millennium Yellow paint on my car.

And now, for a funny:

Test for Dementia

DO YOU THINK NORMAL?

Subject: Test for Dementia
Test for Dementia
Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?
Let's find out just how clever you really are.
Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)

First Question:
You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first,
then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you are second!
Try not to screw up in the next question.
To answer the second question, don't take as much time as you took for the first question.
Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer:If you answered that you are second to last,
then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST Person?
You're not very good at this! Are you?

Third Question:
Very tricky math!
Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.
Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20.
Now add another 1000. Now add 10. What is the total?
Scroll down for answer.
Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.
Don't believe it? Check with your calculator! Today is definitely not your day. Maybe you will get the last question right?

Fourth Question:
Mary's father has five daughters:
1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono.
What is the name of the fifth daughter?

Answer:Nunu?
NO!Of course not.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again

Okay, now the bonus round:
There is a mute person who wants to buy a toothbrush.
By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses, how should he express himself?
He just has to open his mouth and ask, so simple.
FRUSTRATE THE SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!

Have a wonderful Monday all!

Dang! I got sidetracked yesterday and answered the quiz questions but forgot to leave a comment.

I was sorry to see the UCONN men lose in the NCAA's, partly because they shouldn't have gone out like that, and partly because it completely killed my bracket! I had two teams in the final four and nobody in the final.

Very cool models of your car, and the matching paint really makes it. Let's see a picture of them along with the real deal, just for comparison. What's the scale, by the way?
