Mostly for profs and PhD students in STEM:
A bunch of professors go for a hot air baloon ride, but there's a storm and they get blown off course. Not knowing where they are exactly, they spot someone wondering on the field below, and shout to get his attention.
"Where are we?"
"You're thirty feet above the ground."
"Are you a student?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
"Because your answer is precise, and completely useless."
"And you guys are professors, right?"
"Well, yes... How did you know?"
"You lot don't know what you're doing, but somehow it's my fault."

Correct, as usual, TZ. That's because you are not Dude. TZ, however, is Dude. TZ is my favorite. I wish YOU began with A. |

Your professors were probably afraid of your galactic genius and did everything they could (behind the scenes) to thwart your hedginess. Hedgie loves to read. |

A game you can lose in seconds. Or win as "everyone is a winner". Beat my high score: 2.3 meters! http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html |

After about twenty attempts, my high score was also 2.3. If it counts if the runner does it all on his knees, I just got him up to 7.7! Whoo hoo! |

It's a lot more qs and ws and just a tiny bit of o and p. But like I said, he basically moves forward on his right knee with his left leg kicked out in front, and he does the splits a few times but I am getting him to move forward to 21.7 meters and I tried to get him to stand up but he fell backwards and landed at 19.9. Then he fell out of the screen so I guess that was hard work. |

Then he fell out of the screen so I guess that was hard work. Using PQ, WO (simultaneous pairs) I was able to make it about 66 meters. But that was dragging one knee all the way. And dragging along the hurdle I knocked over at 50 m. Have had many falls since, trying to replicate it! |

I wonder if they make these contraptions for adults. Cat in plastic bag - I feel kind of bad about laughing at this one. Hope the poor kitty has recovered. Stick around for the Thriller dancing cat afterwards. |
