Where are you taking these tests?



Also, the near-crash of the stock market today, caused by someone hacking AP's Twitter account and making a fake post about a bombing of the White House that injured President Obama.
There is a chain of people who need to be punched in the face for that, starting with myself since a normal facepalm just isn't enough in this case.

Online version of textbooks usually have tests like this.
... there needs to be a "check the test maker's work" button.

Though it's nice to see them spicing things up with some tautologies. That's always fun.

I assumed that he meant net production instead of gross production. Turned out I was right :P.

Yeah, when you've got to second-guess the test's wording, and assume it meant something entirely different than it said, there's a problem. Also, kudos to the test-maker on discovering that caterpillars are the key to free energy.

I can't help but find that hilarious.  I'm actually a little impressed it went up again so fast.

Oh, I've had that problem way too many times to count. Then there are the really unspecific questions, where you can't give a definitive answer because the question is just way too vague.

That HAS to be bullshit. Due to some family connections, I've been able to obtain surplus fast-food supplies a few times (including, notably, in 1999) when a restaurant ordered too many buns or patties to store, or a broken cooler on the transport truck meant that the food would no longer be up to safety standards when it reached the destination store. The bread gets hard and falls apart after a week or two, just like any other bread. Likewise, the patties behave identically to any other pre-made hamburger patty, and remain hamburger-patty shaped and colored for about a week after cooking, at which point they become discolored and begin to fall apart. It's possible for a deep-freeze to preserve things further, but not for that long.

I somehow don't doubt that at all. I doubt though that I'd be able to objectively tell whether Mcdonalds burgers were kept in the freezer sometimes for months before being served. They certainly taste like it for all my memory's worth.

Oh yeah, I'm now about 19 hours from having been logged in for one year. (This is actually a result of me always having Bay 12 in a tab rather than always actively being on it.)

So in the past 46 hours, you've been online for 19. Jeez, no wonder I can't keep up.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

On my computer, anyway. I probably only spend an hour or so total actually browsing Bay 12.

It wouldn't be so odd, except that she's not even looking at the camera.

Little more width and it'd look like something fitting for a Mortal Kombat/Joker crossover. Grin suddenly reaches to her ears, mouth opens with forked tongue and earsplitting screech, then she turns and tears out Bush's heart. Immediately after, giant lizard person rampage. Animality.

E: Wait, no, no. Sheds skin into this guy's demon form. That might work better.
