For those who think they know everything

Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico…. But as we know….the great ship did not make it to New York….The ship hit an iceberg and sank….and the cargo was forever lost…. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery….were disconsolate at the loss…. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day…. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th….and is known….of course….as Sinko de Mayo….

Whoo hoo! Kymberlie has extended the sign-ups until May 10th for the Spring 2004 Edition of Burn It! I’ve signed up to swap my cover songs, have you? I can’t wait! This is my first Burn It!

Ok, fine. I realize by telling you guys not to multi-post, I’m just keeping you from posting.

You can multi-post. They just need to be unique comments. Not a bunch of “me again!” comments. I’m sick, and I need entertainement. If you don’t believe me, ask Mike, Kymberlie or Emily – they all heard me talk today, or rather *not* talk today. I shouldn’t be talking at all – I sound terrible!

It’s ok to comment freely throughout my blog, even if you don’t know me in real life or feel like we have never met or whatever. Because your comments really are how I will meet you – and in the end, it’s sort of the whole point of my blog. Well, that and a place to vent or ramble freely. But please feel free to speak up at any time!

So just so we’re clear – first one to 100 on my previous post wins a prize. Ready, set … GO!!!

For some reason, I had a browser window open with an IQ Test in it. No idea why – maybe last night I was surfing sites and saw that someone else had taken an IQ test and followed the link there? I don’t know – but I decided to take it. Now you can just call me Ms. Smarty Pants…

Your IQ score is 135.

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly on Tickle’s IQ test. Your IQ score is scientifically accurate.

During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We were able to analyze how you did on each set of those questions, which reveals the way your brain uniquely works.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is a Facts Curator.

This means you are highly intelligent and have picked up an impressive and unique collection of facts and figures over the years. You’ve got a remarkable vocabulary and exceptional math skills — which puts you in the same class as brainiacs like Bill Gates.

Yeah, I’m smart. A brainiac. Just like Bill Gates. I got the looks, he got the money…

I know that men are always wondering where on earth the manual is for figuring out women. Now you can not complain any longer… Pix has totally hooked you up. Girls, a User Guide – be sure to read all three parts. Handy information there that you should not miss!
