Your result: the Wit (80% dark, 34% spontaneous, 26% vulgar) your humor style:CLEAN | COMPLEX | DARKYou like things edgy, subtle, and smart. I guess that means you're probably an intellectual, but don't take that to mean pretentious. You realize 'dumb' can be witty--after all isn't that the Simpsons' philosophy?--but rudeness for its own sake, 'gross-out' humor and most

I do work in an office, but far away from the rest of my department. Sometines, it is aggravatingly difficult to make a simple point over any of the various communication methods we have available. Such as today, when I'm trying to make the word "Étoile" in a template on our content management system ... Me: The special characters are not working inside the page headers, which make the titles.

I just came across the Gender Guesser in a post at Reason. Being totally confident in my masculinity, I plugged in this post to see just how macho I and my words are. Turns out, not much. My scores on a sample of 544 words ... Female = 1220 Male = 776 Difference = -444; 38.87% Verdict: FEMALE Ouch. Or maybe that's my sensitive side. GRR! KICK ASS! LOOK AT MY MUSCLES! RAWR! I WILL

Sounds about right... except I wish Magneto was second. Lex Luthor is an idiot, plus his action figure sucks. I don't even know anything about Venom or Apocalypse. To me, Venom is whatever happened after Spidey got the black suit off and figured out it was an alien. Apocalypse=Who knows. FF were as lame as the movies, but I always thought Doom was cool as hell. You are Dr. Doom.Blessed with

Just down in the cafeteria, eating my sandwich, reading my book, a guy from Events came up and asked Do you work here?" (we don't all know each other). I answered yes. He said, "I knew it. You look like a professor." This has been the story ever since I was 17. It must be the sweater, or sitting by myself reading books, or just the durn smartness of my aura. This must also be the reason why

I love America. I mean, doesn't that blow your mind just a little bit? Dem/Repub... whatever. There are two viable candidates for President of gender/race that we have NEVER had before. I kinda had made up my mind already, but when I'm standing there in front of the machine, looking at the names, being Southern and proud... it's just a little bit of a shock. Is this an indicator that sex/race

I love how the universal "I gave blood" recovery snack is... Nutter Butters! I never eat these things, but they sure are good after losing a pint(?) of your life juice. As I was sitting there being bled, the lady kept asking me "are you ok? are you SURE you're ok? want me to get you some juice?" etc. I must have looked scared. So now it's caprisun fruit punch, fig newtons and nutter butters,

Anagram addiction

Many years ago, I got mildly hooked on the Internet Anagram Server. It was weeks and months of fun. Eventually I was able to overcome my need to ask the computer to make new words out of other words. And then recently someone challenged me to a game of Scrabulous. Since all my letters suck (Q, Z, O, O, O, O, E (and yes I managed to spell "ooze" on my own, thanks.)), I cheated. It didn't work

NOT A BREAK! Radiologist says there is 'evidence' of an old emulsion? abloggin? fulboated? ... something fracture. So apparently I have broken my ankle before. Maybe the last time I stepped off a sidewalk wrong, December 2005 (yes, this is the third time in just over 2 years that I've had the same injury. I told you I have weak ankles.). OK, so now it just sucks. It doesn't suck like a break
