IQ Test

Have you tried this IQ Test? This a Canadian version of "Test the Nation" done in several other countries.

I find the results quite interesting. For example, I got the same amount of questions right as one of my classmates, but my IQ was HIGHER! The reason is because people in my age group (25 to 34) we have lost IQ compared to his age group (16 to 24). Crazy, I am still in my 20s and I my brain is already turning to mush. IQ tests only measure verbal and visualization skills, reasoning, memory, logic, and mental arithmetic. They don’t measure other qualities like character, personality, or talent, so maybe a person's EQ (Emotional Intelligence) gets better with age.

By looking at the chart below, it can be comforting to know the Surgeons finish at the top. I am a little disappointed in our gods, err I mean celebrities, showing.

Team Average IQ
Surgeons 119
Millionaires 118
Fitness Instructors 112
Mayors 110
Radio DJs 108
Tattoo Artists 101
Celebrities 98

looking at the results on the website the smart person stereotype is a red haired, right handed Male from the NWT who likes wine and curling and is a night owl.

Some Home remedies ...

>> from my email bag.

1. If you are choking on an ice cube, don't panic. Simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat and presto! The blockage will be almost instantly removed.

2. Clumsy? Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

3. Avoid arguments with the missus about lifting the toilet seat by simply peeing in the sink.

4. High blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a while, thus reducing the pressure in your veins.

5. A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze button.

6. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives, then you'll be afraid to cough.

7. Have a bad tooth ache? Hit your thumb with a hammer, then you'll forget about the tooth ache.

Sometimes we Just Need to Remember What The Rules of Life Really Are... You need only two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are "I apologize" and "You are right."

Everyone seems normal until you get to know them.

Never pass up an opportunity to potty.

If You Woke up Breathing, Congratulations! You have another chance!

And Finally... Be Really Good To Your Family and Friends. You never know when you're going to need them to empty your bedpan!
