Wrong Answer.

According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively
Disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four-year-old.

I guessed "fold him in half" for the giraffe one and missed all the rest.

I like your new profile pic.
Is there some reason we only get to see ONE eyebrow?
Mysterious she is.

I was doing pretty well until I hit the one about the Lion King, and then I got distracted by images of Nathan Lane singing "Hakuna Matata." Now I'm going to have nightmares.

I only got #3 right when I took the test.

Now remember everyone that if you didn't do well it is a good thing. At least I tell myself that, it makes me feel better.

Jerk, I don't think that you can fold a giraffe in half, can you? If you look further back in the archives you can see the other eyebrow. Wait, don't do it! I want to stay mysterious.

Jimmer, that is GROSS, but funny!

Eddie, thanks for the compliment on my pic. I agree with Allison you should change your pic, it's CREEPY, how that guy is just sort of floating!

J, you win that very large green FROG. Well you did say top shelf, would you rather some good liqueur?

Chianca, glad you stopped by, sorry about the nightmares. Now I have that song stuck in my head, DAMMIT!
