Apparently over 150,000 people have taken these tests, and the results are fascinating, even if presented rather dully.

I scored
Systemizing: 45
Empathy: 24
Autism: 27
Eyes: 28

Male averages: 36, 36, 23, 22
Female averages: 28, 45, 21, 24
This one's not as much fun, no 3d objects to play with. I prefer the way the results are presented, though.
My scores:
Systemizing: 51 (51-80 is "very high...almost no women score in this range")
Empathy: 29
Autism: 23
Eyes: 30

Interesting, but again not really surprising.

It's Friday night, Friday night, Friday night, yay!!!

Just got home, checking the forum, thinking of opening a beer (ahhh, that first heavenly swallow), wondering what I'll do this week-end. Read and paint I think.

OH, good one, Kenny! I might have to forgive you for the "Look how THAT turned out" remark now...

Hi, Betty, good to hear you're recuperating. Take care.

I'll keep my fingers crossed

That reminds me of one conference I was on. There was a presentation from a bank and to promote their products they had a tombola with an Ipod touch as the big prize. After giving away the small ones, the bank people pull out the name (here replaced) John Smith. At this moment three things happen:
  • John Smith cries: You gotta be kiddin' me!!!!
  • 4 people around him laugh their soft body parts out.
  • A girl next to him squeaks/screams.

It turned out, that while putting his name in, John has promised the girl, that if he wins, he will give the Ipod to her...


01:29 here, time to go to bed!


ZzzzzZZZZzzzZZZzz...


P.S. I think I use too many commas, any good site where I can refresh my knowledge on when to use them? Thanks

I can't get the glenrowe thingy to load! Probably because of the hotel snail server.

Plans have changed again! Another night in lovely Darwin, then I have to drive myself 650ks to Roper Bar. I dislike driving anyway, but all by myself in someone else's car. Never mind, half a tonne of frozen meat on the back should help to keep me on the road when I hit the dirt (last 200ks). Hopefully there won't be too many rivers to cross, and the road is intact. Fingers crossed I get a sat phone in case shit really happens. Must remember to work out how the 4 wheel drive bit works!

Not! shitting myself!
