Science quiz

I was listing to the radio and overheard that the Pew Research Center  has released the results of their science poll.  The report was basically pointing the wide discrepancies between the scientist and the lay person in their knowledge and point the usual hilarious/shameful lack of basic, basic science knowledge.

I wanted to wanted to see the question, so I went over to the Pew site and took the science quiz.  I had thought that there would be some easy ones in there, but that they would throw in some metric system question that would give me the predictably low non-scientist American score.  Not so!  All the questions were easy.  Which I find alarming.  Anyway, take the quiz here .

So proud of so little.

Work tool

The mighty paper clip.  Now that I'm network admin, it's the most useful tool in the world, beating out the alan wrench that has helped me put four homes together and dismantle three.  I spend most my time reseting phones, iPods, routers, WAPs, my computer, other computers, and forcing CDs to eject.  Couldn't do it without my trusty bent paper clip.  This job is so high tech.

Back to motherfuckin' work
