*stamps up & down in fit of petulance*

I cannot find the "are you gay," test!! Somebody give me a link please!!!

i will not bother doing the "are you a computer moron?" one OK?

zdt *now appearing with photo on MSN, oh, you lucky, lucky people!*

Oh, abbi, I hope you will be all right! Yes, mention it to the quack...

abbi, glad to hear you are feeling better now. I hope we hear there is nothing seriously wrong after the doctor tomorrow.

I am in the middle of the test and don't know if I will get through it. The questions are unanswerable.
"Does Canada suck or what?
yes
yeah"
wtf kind of question is that?

they just dump in a anti-canadian question into every quiz, they think it's funny, ignore it & do the rest!

Well that explainis that, thanks Terri. I did finish the test. They were correct that I am a woman. Although I was pretty close to being a man which is fine. I thought I'd be harder to peg since I'd prefer to fall to my death but I really do hate the word "moist".

It's a weird one that, lots of people have commented on it. I may (am!!) probably odd, i actually really like the word, whereas "used" turns my stomach!

m**st seems positive to me, indicating arousal & nice things in store. As i say, i am maybe a bit odd!

I hadn't thought of either word as gross on its own. In the context of this quiz however where they ask which is grosser I think of the gross things I associate with them. And "used" items of a certain kind are pretty gross. But "moist" makes me think of Jerri the 46 year old high school freshman in "Strangers with Candy" to refers to herself as being "m**st as a snack cake down there". Gives me the willies. Can't eat snack cakes anymore either.

Thank you Della and HBFjoy

"women look better once a month"
I am not sure if all can get into this without registering but it is interesting. Our ears and breast become more symetrical once a month!

Wonder how many researchers it took and what the pay was

I do not know about the gay test Terri- I thought it was a part of the M- F test when they gave you the percentages because I refused to answer the Canadian questions and a couple others. I figured that counted as a maleI did not get specific percentage.

I DID get an email from the quiz site thoughand it sais something about Terri again in teh subject so beware if you recieve one, it is spam!

i reckon there may be a bit of culture clash here; i assume you're in USA? I haven't aclue what snack cakes are, no idea about the film (i am awful, not had TV for 10yrs!) but willies are (for me) pretty nice thingies, despite the fact that according to another of their silly quizzes, i am 45%gay!!! Nasty phrase that one though, definitely implies degradation..by self, which is worst of all;. In what context did the character say it?

Never mind, it's all silly stuff; but good for insomniacs!

*wanders off to lurk*

zdt

It PROMISED it didnt spam!!!!

I was able to get into the Nature site with out registering. I'd heard of this study before but not the part about how you get more symetrical. I hate it that my breasts are asymetrical. I'll have to pay attention to if they get more semetrical after ovulation. I have always broken out right after I ovulate. I wonder if this means that women are actually MORE attractive with acne.

I am in usa. The line is a joke. And in the context of the tv program it is funny but kind of gross. "Willies" in this context are ... heebie jeebies? *goes to The American·British/British·American Dictionary * can't find it. Well that just means that one shivers with disgust. Strangers is a tv comedy that I have only seen a couple times and is no longer on. I don't even know how to describe snack cakes if you don't know what they are. Ideally they are soft, fresh and moist little cake things. One would buy in individually wrapped servings. And yes, it is silly stuff. At least you won't be kept awake by the not knowing.

nope, i doubt i will have to reach for the barbiturates!!!

A willy in English is, not to put to fine a point on it, a penis; usually in this context as an affectionate term for one that isn't..er..in full fuctioning order for reproductive purposes.

In French it is a "zizi" which is even more hilarious!!!!

zdt translation services.

"zizi" that's a good one to know for future reference. "Willie" or "willy" is penis here too. As is "peter" "johnson" "dick" "woody" etc.

There is an endless list of names for them!
I had not realized how many male names are used.

I'm so glad to be woman


as you can see I did gender test...86% that I am woman!


I need unlearn to swim!

Hmmmm...... 86% male. I'm assume that the other 14% is female, but they didn't say... could be anything, I guess.

NBY

I'm 86% female. Biologically accurate, perhaps, but surprising, as I've always been known as a bit of a "tomboy". Must be girlier than I thought.

Incidentally, I hate the word "moist", it sounds gross. I'd prefer to drown over falling to my death- I'm terrified of heights. And I thought "Slot Machine" was a brilliant name for a porn star!

Update on the original post.

The probblem I had with being unable to read is called reading amnesia. It was caused by the anti- seizure medication I was on.

It is similar to Nuerontin. I experienced worse problems with it; also attributed to types of amnesia. A very low percentage of people have reported this same problem.

It helped to block some pain signals and I was hoping to be able to up the dosage as scheduled.
But No. I will not be taking it anymore!
Good news- bad news

Moist makes me think moldly or musty

I'd rather jump.
Drowning and fires I cannot do.

Slot Machine for a female porn star is pretty good
