I should apologize to the girl at work who was looking forward to a Keanu Reeves movie.<\/p>\n
Well, maybe not, but now I can empathize. On (wait for it…) Sploofus.com, one of the things I can do is play WordRounds, which is like the hardest questions ever, like on the verbal portion of the SAT. I mean, the first time I played WordRounds, I thought that it was the weirdest, most random thing ever. Anyway. there is a new round every hour or so and I can play twice per round (two different sets of 10 questions).<\/p>\n
And I, who often calls a dish washer the washing machine and once told Gene there were two moons (and that was BEFORE he married me), just scored 100% on both rounds. In fact, I’m going to cut and paste it here because it’ll never happen again:<\/p>\n
Here are your results for Round 1076:
\nAttempt #1 of 2:
\n100%
\n54.386 seconds
\nAttempt #2 of 2:
\n100%
\n64.785 seconds<\/p>\n
I mean, REALLY!<\/p>\n
PS: If you’ve never heard the two moons story, just ask. It’s pretty funny.<\/p>\n
PPS: Even with 100%, I’m still only in 5th place for this wordround, which ends in (hits refresh) 32 minutes. Maybe there will be a power outage where all the smart people live. I think the highest I’ve scored so far is 11th. I’m fairly certain I’ve never been Top Ten before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
