The man is dumbing us down. The sad part is that they are cutting NASA's budget right when space exploration is getting really awesome.

I swear, even though I am a Yankees fan, a tweet like this is just asking for it.

Funding third world countries is a much bigger priority.

That is about having influence in that country above making that country a better place.

I didn't do so well. Only 9 out of 12.

Thought for sure frequency determined loudness. **** me.

I got the Polio one wrong because I read it too quickly and thought it said Penicillin.

I got all the easy ones right. I think I flunked the three hardest questions (which were not all that hard, actually).

Stupid quiz

Stopped at "what kind of waves carrier are cell phone signals, radio or light?"

The ironic point I was making was that Calgary, Edmonton, and Carolina all made the Finals in those two seasons.

Yeah. I was poking fun at the idea that we could still be in a rebuild while those teams listed are still playing Monkey in the Middle with the Cup. Maybe in some alternate universe that's happening but thank god it isn't here.

The one I got wrong (magnifying glass) is an MCAT question too...

"Hmmmm...how else can we insult American intelligence?"

"Oh! I know! Let's make a whole list of questions whose answers wouldn't ever be applied to life by anyone other than an actual scientist!"

Make the mistake now, not then. You are one step ahead of the man Jeff

 

[Reclamation Project]

When Jeff passes his MCAT by 1 question he can thank RP.

 

[Captain Mittens*]

If that happens, He should buy you a 6 pack and an alpaca

A Colt45Blast will suffice.

I will be in heavy debt so you guys would have to wait 4 years of med school + 5 years gen. surgery residency + 1-2 years internship. And even more if I want get into a more exclusive surgery discipline like surgical oncology or cardiothoracic.

You guys are going to have to spot me for beers. I promise I will get the lens questions correct though.

We'll wait.

1st attempt, no practice: 11/12.

Got the magnifying lens and polio questions correctly, but missed the question pertaining to height of sound.

 

[Choralone]

I answered all 12 questions correctly, but I'm too dumb to figure out how to do the screen grab.
