Paul Leonard Newman: 1925 – 2008
A racer who supported his racing habit by acting – that’s how Paul Newman wanted to be remembered. An accomplished winner in both fields, Paul Newman died Friday, Sept. 26, after a long battle with cancer. He was 83. Newman came to racing late in life, driving his first race car in his 40s. Bob…

In case you missed it yesterday, the American al Qaeda Adam Gadahn, home-grown convert to Islamofacism, loosed a video that talks to jihad in America. Now some have likened him to Lord Haw Haw, noted buffoon and erstwhile propogandist of WWII fame. I, on the other hand, think he is more of the Goebbels mode…

That was a lot of fun! although there must have been a mistake in the calculating.
10% scored higher
0% scored the same
90% scored lower SUPREME NERD. Apply for a professorshop at MIT now!!! 😯
Can`t be right! I was looking forward to taking the next test until I saw the title…Are you a loser? I don`t want to know. 😥

I scored a 28.
But then, chick’s dig me! (Especially the one who lets me live in her home, pays for my Trawler and sailboat)
I figured I got pegged on the calculator (still using my HP-41CV — RPN forever!) and having the microscope, telescope (8″ newtonian reflector BTW) AND I still have my slide rule from freshman/sophmore year. All that and a Poli Sci major – go figure…

But what did you expect for a formere grunt with a BA WW II History and an MA in Civil War History!
😯 😯 dear DC and Albany Rifles: You can’t have been trying very hard. I’m a lowly civilian who doesn’t even much like anything sci-fi, is retired from nursing, AND is Canadian so you must try again…please.
Still, it was a lot of fun. Thank you, and I hope that your commuting woes go a little smoother.

Thanks for the link!
Rough translation of “It really IS rocket science!”…

Oh well, mid-level nerd — that’s me. I got a 76. Probably explains why I’m a computer tech-type.
Hey, my HP RPN calculator is the *only* one I can use and get correct answers! Had a miserable time with a graphing calculator when I had to be non-RPN.
At least HP still makes an RPN calculator for when this one dies … 😛
98%, only 2% higher. Of course as a guy who has written software for web sites, missile systems, fighter planes, and satellites it sorta figures I should score high. RPN for the non-geeky is Reverse Polish Notation and it has nothing to do with the country Poland.
