I blame Scan Man! Took a few minutes away from my Jello making (60 boxes since yesterday!) to start my blogrun … and saw that Dr. Scan Man had another one of those cute little blog-quizzes: Which lunatic are you?

This is a riot … be careful of what you answer! *LOL*

Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.

You are William John Cavendish-Bentinck-Scott, the Fifth Duke of Portland!

Sometime Marquis of Tichfield, Earl of Portland, Viscount Woodstock, Baron of Cirencester, co-heir to the Barony of Ogle and renowned as the finest judge of horseflesh in England, you took the tradition of aristocratic eccentricity to unprecedented heights. Having inherited the stately home of Welbeck Abbey, you proceeded to construct miles of underground tunnels and a ballroom, in pink, beneath it. The ballroom was complete except for one small detail. It had no floor. Despite this vast home, you lived exclusively in a suite of five rooms, each one also pink.

Having been turned down by your opera singer objet d’amour, Adelaide Kemble, in your youth, you suffered a broken heart and never married. This did not stop you from caring deeply about the wellbeing of your servants. Occasionally you would even help them muck out the stables. However, you did not neglect discipline, forcing disobedient underlings to skate themselves to exhaustion on your subterranean skating rink. Servants were given strict instructions regarding conduct: if they met you in a corridor, they were to ignore your existence while you froze to the spot until they were out of sight; and a chicken was to be kept roasting at all times in case you felt like sneaking into the kitchen for a snack.

You became ever more eccentric with age. You built another tunnel, this time to the railway station, through which you would ride your carriage. When you reached the station your carriage, with you inside, would be hoisted up onto the train in its entirety.

Upon your death, your multitude of titles passed to your cousin, who was obliged to delve into your curious domain to find your body once the servants had reported your absence. Entering your private rooms, he found that, aside from a commode in the centre of your bedroom, the only objects in the whole suite were hundreds of hatboxes, each containing a single brown wig.

Dr. Hans Engel asks:

Is war justified if:

What is your opinion regarding a “justifiable war”?

Good question! Drop in and let him know what you think. This very question has been bandied about quite extensively in the last few years … now’s our chance to have our say …

Just finished running the mental marathon of a final exam in Anatomy & Physiology. Nota bene that this course was intended for the “allied professions” … who else would end up with a hybrid mixture of Chemistry, Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, all crammed into some poor little cranium in such a microscopic length of time as 8 weeks!!!

The final was composed of endless fill-ins and matching; no multiple choice; 5 “short answer” questions, each needing only a few paragrahs (fit an explanation of the function of water in relation to everything in the human body into a few paragraphs!); and 3 essays. Glad I was typing, and not writing!

Don’t even ask me about the questions that call for one answer, but had 3 to 5 answers in the text! *ack!* I just write in all of the answers and hope for the best.

We had 3 1/2 hours … I managed it in 2 1/2 (I hope!)

So far, the most challening part of this course was following a ham and cheese sandwich on whole wheat, with tomato, lettuce and peppers, through the body from the first bite to the final flush, including the chemical reactions along the way. It was fun to write. I got a perfect score on it, but I’m not sure if I got it for my humor, or my information … *blink!* (”Bolus Bob” bows before the adoring crowd … ;o)

On Sunday, I’ll begin psych and a basic computer course. Should be interesting. By next Wednesday, I should have the results of my final. Depending on how I did … I may append the overall course grade to this post. At the moment, it’s not bad … but when you have 3 essays worth 20 points each, grades can change fast! *cringe!*

I was just about to hit the sack when I got this from Dr. Scan Man … I’m still laughing!

Draw a Pig Personality Test

Mine was a bit disconcerting - since all but one of the results were true! ;o)
