I refuse to use that government website. Don't you see, the government stole money from our pockets to create that website! If noone goes to it, they will take it down and stop wasting our money on this non-constitutional use! Sure, a few people will suffer by not knowing the exact time at first, but I'm sure a non-government source funded privately or through charity will step in to provide our temporal needs. They would even do it better, I bet they could be accurate to within one hundredth of a second rather than the inefficient government waste accuracy of two tenths of a second. :p

He's right. They'll only shut it down once it becomes something people rely on. (oh, and this will occur during a democratic administration, but they'll blame the reckless spending of the last republican administration. And then taxes will go up.)

One may find a whole buncha IQ and personality tests including the MMPI here.

Here is the complete list of what the Subservient Chicken will do. Someone (not me) reverse engineered the html to find all the different movie clips, therefore, all of the different options can only be played individually (instead of the loop that brings the chicken guy back to neutral).

Portal of Evil has a file on this web page. It is the Giga society, and it only accepts IQs of 196, or basically the 99.9999999th percentile. That's one in a billion. The society has six members, enough for a decent poker game.


The test that the founder of this society created is just plain insane, you can see it at:

It seems that the sole purpose of this hi IQ society is to gloat.

If I worked in the mental health field, I bet I could get a dozen or so idiot savants to take their test and successfully pass it. I could then fill their exclusive little club with a great crowd :)

Possible correction: The society might be one in a million, not a billion, as said by this web site that catalogs tests for high percentile nerds:

Edit again: The Mega society has one in a million geeks, the Giga really does shoot for one in a billion.

that rather extensive list seems to have missed "bark like a dog", which was one of my requests that worked to great humorous effect.

(it included a ceremonial leg lifting.)

The chicken told me that it doesn't do things that are not appropriate for general audiences.:haha:

So this Mifflin guy, one of the 6, is available for tutoring high school and college students in the North Seattle area. $12 an hour.

Nice smackdown, jinx. But then you get a lot of practice on lumberjim.

Kinda sad. It also looks like having a 196 IQ does not make one a good web designer.


Did I mention the society was founded by a hobbit?
