    What do you mean I use the Internet like a man?

    Yes I know, me and my stupid tests! Turns out I use the Internet more like a guy rather than a girl! Well if that means I don't forward emails or watch soap operas online then fine!

    Your Surfing Habits are 60% Male, 40% Female
    If we had to guess, we would guess that you are a man.
    You use the internet to make your life more efficient - and to make you smarter.
    For you, the internet is like a vast encyclopedia.
    You search and surf extensively. You look up everything online.
    I guess it doesn't sound too bad, I use the internet to make me smarter :P cool then, I'll leave you to it and go on to become even smarter by stumbling on something new!

    Deep Thoughts (by Jack Handey)

     
    I love these quotes, they're really funny:
    • If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them
      down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
    • To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when
      you walk around.  That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a
      hand?"  You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
    • One thing kids like is to be tricked.  For instance, I was going
      to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
      burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down."
      He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a
      pretty good joke.  I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but
      decided to go home instead.
    • The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.
    • If you lived in the Dark Ages and you were a catapult operator, I
      bet the most common question people would ask is, "Can't you make it
      shoot farther?"  "No, I'm sorry.  That's as far as it shoots."
    • Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo,
      flying across in front of a beautiful sunset?  And he's carrying a
      beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful
      painting with his feet.  And also, you're drunk.
    • I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our
      children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.
    • If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell
      him is, "God is crying."  And if he asks why God is crying, another cute
      thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."
    • If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the
      mirror, because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.
    • Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first
      instinct is to laugh.  But then I think, what if I was an ant and she
      fell on me.  Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
    • To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no
      choreography and the dancers hit each other.
    • I hope if dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, they
      don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with
      some good ideas.
    • If life deals you lemons, why not go kill someone with the lemons
      (maybe by shoving them down his throat).
    • Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call
      them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what,
      can't we all be brothers?
    • Probably the earliest fly swatters were nothing more than some sort
      of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.
    • I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out
      that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because
      I was thinking about doing that anyway.
    • I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver.
      And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real
      quick and hand it to him.
    • Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word
      itself. MANKIND.  Basically, it's made up of two separate words "mank" and
      "ind." What do these words mean?  It's a mystery and so is mankind.
    • If you go flying back through time and you see somebody else flying
      forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.
    • It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money.  And I
      guess that's what I like about it.  It's easy.  Just sitting there,
      rocking back and forth, wanting that money.
    • If you ever reach total enlightenment while you're drinking a beer,
      I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose.
    • To me, clowns aren't funny.  In fact, they're kinda scary.  I've
      wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I
      went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.
    • As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red
      again, I sat there thinking about life.  Was it nothing more than a
      bunch of honking and yelling?  Sometimes it seemed that way.
    • I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
      And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
    • I hope some animal never bores a hole in my head and lays its eggs in
      my brain, because later you might think you're having a good idea but
      it's just eggs hatching.
    • Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there,
      in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books.
    • What is it about a beautiful sunny afternoon, with the birds singing
      and the wind rustling through the leaves, that makes you want to get
      drunk? And after you're real drunk, maybe go down to the public park
      and stagger  around and ask people for money, and then lay down and go
      to sleep.
    • Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window?  The guy looks out
      it, and if he leans too far, he falls out.  Wait.  I guess that's like
      a regular window.

    Personality tests

    Just took some tests over at BlogThings and decided to post my results although they are not always accurate... I mean am I really the perfect kisser? Oh well maybe I am

    First test: "How Indie are you?" Well, I thought I'd score a bit better on this one but I guess since I'm not really an artist and I'm not even a vegan I can't qualify for anything more than 66%. 
     

    You Are 66% Indie

    You're a very indie person, and admit it, you look down a little on people who strive to be normal.
    You'll indulge in a little mainstream pop culture every now and then. But for you, anything not indie is a guilty pleasure!


    How Indie Are You?

     

    Now, for the kissing test: you have to kiss three judges who give you a score for technique, creativity and passion... They were so amazed by my style they had to give me a perfect score  Ok ok you just need to answer questions like how much tongue you like to use (!)

     
    Your Kissing Technique Is: Perfect

    Your kissing technique is amazing - and you know it.
    You have the confidence to make the first move.
    And you always seem to know what kissing style is going to work best.
    Sometimes you're passionate, sometimes you're a tease. And you're always amazing!

    Are You a Good Kisser?
     
     
    And of course, the ultimate personality test: what flavor frappuccino are you? Nice flavor I must say, not sure if I am smooth and sweet though... and fitting in any crowd? I don't think so...
     
     
    Caffe Vanilla Frappuccino

    Smooth and sweet, you fit in to almost any crowd. No one would suspect you of being a coffee tweaker!


    What Flavor Frappuccino Are You?

      


    The next one is quite accurate. I did take a more elaborate version of this test while studying Psychology at university. There are apparently 6 love styles (well other theories say three but I like the six theory better) and each person's love style takes elements from all or most styles but there is usually one that stands out. Mine is Eros

     
    Your Love Style is Eros

    For you, love is all about the passion!
    And chances are, you're currently in love.
    You have a strong physical response to love...
    And you are great at committing
    (As long as the person makes your toes curl!)

    What's Your Love Style?
     
     
    Btw the other styles are Ludus (if you see love as a game), Storge (love that comes from friendship), Pragma ("logical" love), Mania (obsession) and Agape (the kind of love you have for your grandmother ). See? My two years of doing Psychology were not completely useless after all...
     
    Oh btw you can use the links after each test to take these tests in case you are feeling as bored as I am...

    • A hairstyle that takes no maintaince but still looks good on you
    • Being able to accomplish all you want; while living with the love of your life

     

    Some of them are quite true too

    Lawyer And Blonde Joke

    A lawyer and a blonde are sitting next to each other on a long flight from LA to NY.

    The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

    The lawyer persists and explains that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains" I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice-versa."

    Again, she politely declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer that you'll ask me, I will pay you $500!." Figuring that since she is a blonde that he will easily win the match.

    This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, agrees to the game.

    The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the lawyer.

    Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer: "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"

    The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references.He taps into the Airphone with his modem and searches the Net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his coworkers and friends he knows. All to no avail.

    Afterover an hour, he wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep.

    The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what IS the answer!?"

    Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep.

    World's Funniest Joke

     Funniest Joke in the World (according to Yahoo! October 3, 2002):

    Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other man pulls out his phone and calls emergency services.

    He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator in a calm, soothing voice replies: "Take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

    There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

    Back on the phone, the hunter says, "OK, now what?"

    Runner Up:

    PATIENT: "Doctor, I've got a strawberry stuck up my bum."

    DOCTOR: "I've got some cream for that."

    Another Runner Up:

    A patient says, "Doctor, last night I made a Freudian slip. I was having dinner with my mother-in-law and wanted to say: 'Could you please pass the butter?' But instead I said: 'You silly cow, you have completely ruined my life.'"

    Still Another Runner Up:

    A man and a friend are playing golf one day. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer. His friend says: "Wow! That is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You are truly a kind man."

    The other man then replies: "Yeah, well, we were married 35 years."

    One More Runner Up:

    TEXAN: "Where are you from?"

    HARVARD GRAD: "I come from a place where we do not end our sentences with prepositions."

    TEXAN: "OK - where are you from, jackass?"

    And Still Another Runner Up:

    A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: “That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen.” The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: “That driver just insulted me!” The man says: “You go right up there and tell him off – go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you.”

    Amazing - Another Runner Up:

    When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300o C. The Russians used a pencil. 

    Last Runner Up:

    A dog went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote: “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.” The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.” The dog replied, “But that would make no sense at all.”
