From Gerph (aka RISC OS’s Justin Fletcher) is the Pie Palace Asperger Test. I scored less then Justin – “only” 30 points out of 50. 32+ scores “are generally taken to indicate Asperger’s Syndrome or high functioning autism with more than 34 an ‘extreme’ score”.
I work as a computer programmer, but haven’t been diagnosed with any mental impediment that I can remember (so amnesia could be an option 😀 ). What about you – what’s your score and occuption?
From Blue Goo Ate My Mom is the following meme:
SUPPOSEDLY if you’ve seen over 85 films, you have no life. Mark the ones you’ve seen. There are 239 films on this list. Copy this list, paste this as a note. Then, put x’s next to the films you’ve seen, add them up, change the header adding your number, and click post at the bottom. Have fun.
See my responses below.
Well, I haven’t done a Meme for ages, so here’s my blogger code:
B9 D+++ T+ K+ S F- I- O+ X+ E L- C Y4 R++ W+ P+ M2 N- N+
