Name seven things -- fads, controversies, beliefs, institutions, whatever -- that you just don't "get."

1. "Tomkat"

3. Suri Cruise (Who CARES???)

1. Has your blog received more comments, less comments, or about the same number of comments this summer?

Probably a little less.

2. What do you think best explains your answer from the last question?

One, I think I write less lol Two, most people that read my blog are somewhat busy in the summer.

3. With the latest terror alert about liquid bombs on airplanes, are you any less likely to schedule a flight somewhere?

Honestly, if I could, NOW would be when I want to travel. When are they more alert than right after a "scare" like this? It'd be safest to go now.

4. Take the quiz: What color flower are you?

You Are a Red Flower

A red flower tends to represent power, seduction, and desire.

At times, you are loving like a red tulip.

And at other times, you're very enthusiastic, like a bouvardia.

And more than you wish, your passion is a bit overwhelming, like a red rose.

What Color Flower Are You?

5. What was the last occasion in which you sent someone flowers?

I've only had someone send me flowers once, and that was my old boss after my grandma died. She was a sweet woman, cared a lot about everyone that worked under her.

6. A hypothetical science question: A couple has a young child that they love very much. He has a rare genetic disorder that will be fatal unless doctors can use embryonic stem cells, and the only way to get them is for his parents to donate eggs and sperm so that a lab can create another embryo. Should the parents and the doctors be allowed to create an embryo to save the child's life?

Oh my I have to touch a political and religion ridden nerve...

Yes, I do. But I believe in this kind of research anyway. Having a mother with diabetes, a grandmother with Parkinson's and knowing someone with MS, it's something I consider a miracle. One that we're being denied access to.

1. If you had the chance to press a button and find out for sure whether or not God exists, would you take that risk, even if it meant that believers might find out there isn't one or that non-believers might find out that there is?

Wow, that's a tricky question for me actually. But I'd have to say yes. I mean, either way, the truth is out. Of course I believe I'd be showing to everyone there is a God, but man that'd suck to be an athiest lol

2. Whatever your position on your belief of God, if you found out beyond any doubt that you were wrong, how much do you think you would change how you live your life?

Honestly, I don't think it'd change. I still want to live the best I can, I don't want to do bad things because well it'd hurt people. Now where's the fun in that?

3. In honor of Planters' 100th birthday, what's your favorite kind of nut?

5. Take the quiz: How controlling are you? (Thanks to Shelly.)

Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now.

For you, falling in love is all about the adventure and uncertainty. You can only fall in love with someone who keeps you guessing.

1. If you had the chance to vote for a law that would ban flag burning, would you vote in favor of it?

Yes. In a heartbeat, there is no question in my mind to that. Maybe because I've had family members fight and die in almost every war this country has ever been in, but to me it's spitting in the face of everything men and women have fought for and died for. It's betraying my country and I won't stand for that. I look at that flag and I see the dozens and dozens of family members blood that was spilt in order to secure this country. And if anyone would like to argue that with me, don't bother.

2. Which of the following did you walk through most recently: a zoo, a garden, a beach, a cemetary?

Garden.

Tried it, loved it actually, surprised the hell out of me lol And I'd like to see someone do chocolate. I love chocolate sodas and no one's done it yet. Well, none of the brands I know anyway.

4. Take the quiz: Which flavor of tea are you? (Thanks to Charley.)

Which flavor of tea are you? (with images)

You are Green tea! Green tea is very healthy for you, and quite popular too. It's not so much of a unique taste..yet it's not plain tea either. When people have green tea, they are attached. They usually drink it heal themselves as well.

6. You see someone run out of a store with a wad of bills. Shortly afterwards, a store employee runs out of the store after him, but stops just outside the door when it appears that the person has run down the street towards a seedy-looking motel. If you assumed you had just witnessed the getaway in an armed robbery, would you drive into the motel parking lot in an attempt to find out what room number or what vehicle the person got into, or would you pay it no more attention?

Wow... That's a really complicated question with too many possibilities for me to even begin to answer now.

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
List your top seven blogging pet peeves.

1. Music that starts from no where, sudden, loud. In my opinion you never put up a song that starts out that hard. It should start out soft enough that people can understand that it's on the page and there's a stop button. (There should ALWAYS be a stop button.)

2. Font. Either obnoxiously loud or so quiet it's hard to focus on. (Loud meaning bright colors, huge font, etc, quiet being pale hard to notice font, or small size.)

3. Extremely busy pages/backgrounds, etc.

4. Lots and lots of pictures. I love pictures, I do. But unless you're a picture blog, I really want to READ. If you have a bunch of pictures you want to show for a post, fine, great, send me a link to Flickr so I can look at them.

5. Pointless entries or comments. If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, don't.

6. Ads. Hate ads. I understand the need in some cases, but a lot of ads annoy me.

7. Too much color. I like basics, I don't like to be overloaded with colors.

Brain Sex I.D. Quiz
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/add_user.shtml

(printable mm ruler, you'll need it [pdf])

Angles
This task tested your ability to identify the angle of a line by matching it with its twin. This is a spatial task, which looks at how you picture space.

Your score: 11 out of 20
Average score for men: 15.1 out of 20
Average score for women: 13.3 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 12: You have more of a female brain. Scientists believe that people with a female brain find it more difficult to judge the slope of a line because they're not wired for spatial tasks. In past studies, 65 per cent of people who scored in this range were women.

If you scored 13 - 17: You found this test neither hard nor easy. This suggests your brain has male and female traits when it comes to spatial ability.

If you scored 18 - 20: You have more of a male brain. On average, men outperform women in this task and those with more mathematical knowledge tend to score quite high as well. In past studies, 60 per cent of the people in this range were men.

Interestingly, men's testosterone levels fluctuate through the seasons and studies have shown that men's scores are lower in the spring, when their testosterone levels are at their lowest.

Do our cave dwelling ancestors offer us any clues about why men and women score differently on this task?

Spot the difference
This task tested your ability to identify which objects changed position. You lost points, if you incorrectly identified objects.

Your score: 50%
Average score for men: 39%
Average score for women: 46%

What does your score suggest?

If you scored between 0 - 33%: You may have more of a male brain. Scientists say men tend to under perform in this task. The corpus callosum, the part of the brain that links the right and left hemispheres, is a fifth larger in women. This means women can process visual and other signals at the same time more easily than men. There is also a theory that oestrogen levels in women give them an added advantage in spatial memory.

If you scored between 34 - 66%: You may have a balanced female-male brain.

If you scored between 67 - 100%: Those with a female-type brain generally score in this range. Your ability to remember where objects are may serve as an advantage to you when you're trying to find your way around places. You're more capable of recalling landmarks to get from one place to another.

Part 2

Hands

You said your left thumb was on top when you clasped your hands together.

Right thumb on top: This suggests the left half of your brain is dominant. Many studies have tried to establish whether there is a relationship between handedness and brain dominance. Some scientists believe that if you are left brain dominant, you would be more verbal and analytical.

Left thumb on top: This suggests the right half of your brain is dominant. Some studies theorise that as a right brain dominant person, you may excel in visual, spatial and intuitive processes.

However, these theories are debatable and leave much to be said about the small percentage of people who are ambidextrous.

Part 3

Emotions and Systems
This task looked at whether you prefer to empathise or systemise.

Empathising

Your empathy score is: 12 out of 20
Average score for men: 7.9 out of 20
Average score for women: 10.6 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

Empathisers are better at accurately judging other people's emotions and responding appropriately. If you scored 15 and above, you are very empathic and would be an ideal person to comfort people in a time of crisis. Women in general are better at empathising.

Systemising

Your systemising score is: 15 out of 20
Average score for men: 12.5 out of 20
Average score for women: 8.0 out of 20

What does your result suggest?

Systemisers prefer to investigate how systems work. A system can be a road map, flat pack furniture, or a mathematical equation – anything that follows a set of rules. A score of 15 and above suggests you're good at analysing or building systems. Men in general are better at systemising.

Scientists are keen to learn more about people who score high or low on both tests. They want to find out whether or not empathising and systemising are linked. Is a possible to make yourself more empathic?

Some scientists claim that our empathy and systemising abilities can be traced all the way back to prehistoric times. Find out more.

Eyes
This task tested your ability to judge people's emotions.

Your score: 8 out of 10
Average score for men: 6.6 out of 10
Average score for women: 6.6 out of 10

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 3: Do you think you're good at judging how another person is feeling? Your score suggests this doesn't come to you quite so naturally.

If you scored 4 - 6: Your result suggests you have a balanced female-male brain and find it neither easy nor difficult to judge people's emotions.

If you scored 7 - 10: Your result suggests you are a good empathiser, sensitive to other people's emotions. Women generally fall into this category.

Professor Baron-Cohen at the University of Cambridge says that people usually perform better than they expect to on this test.

Men often think a person's eyes are sending signals of desire when that's not the case at all.

Part 4

Fingers
We asked you to measure your ring and index fingers. Your ratios came to:

Right Hand: 0.992
Left Hand: 0.989

Average ratio for men: 0.982
Average ratio for women: 0.991

It's thought that your ratio is governed by the amount of testosterone you were exposed to in your mother's womb. The ratio of the length of your index finger to the length of your ring finger is set for life by as early as three months after conception. Even during puberty, when we experience intensive hormonal changes, the ratio stays the same.

Men generally have a ring finger that is longer than their index finger, which gives them a lower ratio than women, whose ring and index fingers are usually of equal length.

Studies have found that men and women with lots of brothers generally have more masculine finger ratios. Find out what other things scientists think our ratios may tell us.

Part 5

Faces
This task looked at how you rate the attractiveness of a series of faces. The images you looked at were digitally altered to create slight differences in masculinity.

Your choices suggest you prefer more masculine faces.

Highly masculinised male faces possess more extreme testosterone markers such as a long, broad and lower jaw, as well as more pronounced brow ridges and cheekbones.

Interestingly, women's preferences are said to vary across the menstrual phase. A more masculine face is preferred during the 9 days prior to ovulation, when conception is most likely.

A typical 'attractive' female face possesses features such as a shorter, narrower, lower jaw, fuller lips and larger eyes than an average face.

Part 6

3D shapes
This task tested your ability to mentally rotate 3D shapes.

Your score: 10 out of 12
Average score for men: 8.2 out of 12
Average score for women: 7.1 out of 12

What does your result suggest?

If you scored 0 - 6: Do you find yourself having to physically rotate a map to point in the direction in which you're travelling? This might explain why you scored in the lower range in the 3D shapes test. Twice as many women as men score in this category. Previous studies suggest that those with a female-type brain or with an arts background fall into this range.

If you scored 7 - 9: In past studies, 50 per cent of the people who scored in this range were women and 50 per cent were men.

If you scored 10 - 12: Are you an engineer or do you have a science background? People with these skills tend to score in this range. Past studies have concluded that people in this range have a more male brain.

Nearly a third of men who took this test got full marks, whereas less than 10 per cent of women managed the same.

Words
This task looked at your verbal fluency.

Your score: you associated 7 word(s) with grey and you named 17 word(s) that mean happy. We are assuming that all the words you entered are correct.

Average score for men: 11.4 words total
Average score for women: 12.4 words total

What does your result suggest?

If you produced 1 - 5 words: You are more of the strong, silent type with a male brain. You probably find it easier to express yourself in non-verbal ways, preferring action rather than words.

If you produced 6 - 10 words: Most people in this range have a female-type brain.

Women are said to use both sides of the brain when doing verbal tasks while men mainly use their left side. Studies have shown that girls develop vocabulary faster than boys. This difference in brain power is caused by levels of pre-natal testosterone.

Ultimatum
This task asked you how you would divide money.

If you had to split £50 with someone, you said you would demand £25

So far on the Sex ID test, men have demanded 51.6% (£25.80) of the pot and women have demanded 51.0% (£25.50), on average.

What does your response suggest?

Sex differences are small in this task. Demanding less than 60% of the pot (ie £30) is more typically female. Demanding more than 65% of the pot (ie £32.50) is more typically male.

Scientists believe that people with lower testosterone levels tend to take fewer risks so they are probably more willing to keep less for themselves. Those with higher testosterone levels tend to drive a harder bargain and are less compromising.

Men's testosterone levels fluctuate over the seasons and are at their lowest levels during the springtime. This is said to influence their bargaining power.

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #88 from Lily: Think of your earliest memory: Is it a good one or a bad one? If you had the chance to witness yourself at that time, would you want to?

(Thanks to Patrick for editing my question so I wasn't a repeat lol)

And my earliest memory, I was a few months old, watching my mom draw a duck for a carnival game we had. It was going to be a logo on some cups we gave out. I told her remembering the duck and thinking it was ugly, lol She didn't believe me she said "You weren't even born when I drew that." I found one of the cups and showed her the copyright date. The year AFTER I was born. So I'm assuming I was just a few months old. And yes I'd like to see myself, just so I'd know how old I was.

This will happen only the first time you open the box. Would you open it?

Saturday Six #103

2006-04-03T02:21:00.000-05:00

1. Assuming you have a DVD player and a show you used to enjoy becomes available on DVD...what is the deciding factor on whether or not you'll actually buy it?

Hmm... Well... Honestly the only show I've wanted to buy on DVD is Lost. Because I think it's something you have to see beginning to end and if you miss something you're screwed lol

2. What do you find generally more offensive: the average prime time television show or the people who want their own personal standards of decency to be the guidelines the networks must follow?

Both are in their own way. People trying to control things with insanely high standards are offensive in the way that they're trying to force their beliefs and morals on other people, and prime time shows because they in general lack morals, give them up just to get a laugh and that's something I wouldn't approve of no matter what.

3. If you were in charge of the FCC, which of the following would be your priority when it comes to decency on the airwaves: cutting down on violence, sex or profanity?

Sex. No hesitation at all. There is WAY too much sex on TV. Even if you watch your child closely there will always be a time you turn your back for a second and they see something you don't want them too. Even if it's a commercial, some of those are pretty sexual.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What horrible Edward Gorey Death will you die?

You will sink in a mire. You like to think you're normal, but deep down you really just want to strip off your clothes and roll around in chicken fat.

Ew... I don't like chicken fat lol... Pork fat on the other hand... lol Kidding lol Don't send for the white coats yet lol

5. One of those crazy remodeling shows appears at your door one day and offers to redo any room of your house or apartment for free, but that it can only be one single room that gets a makeover. Would you let them in, and if so, which room would you choose and why?

Oh yeah sure... And... basement, it's a mess lol

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #86 from cdmmw2: Do you recall your first kiss? Did you think that kissing was worth all the hype??

Oh yes. I recall vividly lol I'm still dating him lol And yes. Will is an amazing kisser. He was and is everything I expected and more. Kissing him is everything I could want.
