8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 12

[The FairyGodmother]

Good Morning Everyone!!

Too much ketchup so I just read the summaries

(YES some of us read the summaries)

I have now joined the ranks of the sick kids club!!!
DH took off yesterday to stay home with Devin. Today its my turn. Was hoping he was better. The boys have been fighting that nasty stomach bug since last Tuesday. Finally thought we were done, Devin woke up this morning with a 101 fever. Off to the doctor we go later this morning. Normally I wouldnt take him but he's complaing hes dizzy as well. So he needs to be checked out.

Happy B-day to all those I've missed.

Wish Ryan luck again this weekend. After winning the Staten Island Pinewood Derby for his division a few months ago, he is competing this Saturday in Manhattan at the ESPN ZONE against all the other NYC area kids.

Sending lots of your way.

Just wanted to show you guys what I finished for dd's school. They are having a Fine Art Night tonight and they had school chairs that you could take and decorate for the "Chair-ity" Auction. The theme was storybooks.

Wow, that is awesome. I want one!!!

So the swabbie who dances gets all the wenches?

Must be why Mark agreed to dance lessons.

In which direction (left or right), is the bus pictured above traveling. Justify your answer.

 

[The FairyGodmother]

Hey Peter, Welcome home. Thanks for the great meet at OKW. It was wonderful.

 

[The FairyGodmother]

In which direction (left or right), is the bus pictured above traveling. Justify your answer.

I say to the right because it would be traveling towards the cake in the bottom of your signature.

 

[tom31b]

In which direction (left or right), is the bus pictured above traveling. Justify your answer.

It's not moving.

 

[yargrnhoj]

It's not moving.

Even if it is stopped at the moment, it is 'traveling' either left or right. This is not a trick question.

 

[tom31b]

Even if it is stopped at the moment, it is 'traveling' either left or right. This is not a trick question.

Left. The door to admit/discharge passengers is on the opposite side (not visible here).

Unless we are in UK where they drive on wrong side of road, then its right.

 

[PMDR59]

I'm gonna agree with Andrew. His answer made sense.

Either, it's like those trolleys with controls at both ends.

In the absense of our other Captain (Crash), I offer you pirates a mid-week diversion of get-ta-know-ya and ponderance:

How would you respond to the ten questions by Bernard Pivot that host James Lipton asks every guest on Inside the Actors Studio?

1. What is your favorite word?
2. What is your least favorite word?
3. What turns you on [creatively, spiritually or emotionally]?
4. What turns you off?
5. What is your favorite curse word?
6. What sound or noise do you love?
7. What sound or noise do you hate?
8. What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
9. What profession would you not like to do?
10. If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?

Be careful answering #5!

Oh Brack that just isn't fair. So sorry to hear about that. But really glad your back. Missed you.

 

[jonesing]

ewwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! Is it all puffy and gooey!

I second the motion that you wash your hands before posting...better yet, just wear surgical gloves!

Seriously, hope you get over it soon! And not pass it on...

tom's second response was correct. This question was asked of 25 preschoolers and 25 adults. All 25 preschoolers immediately knew which way the bus was going based on the absence of the door. Only 10 of the adults answered correctly immediately. I suspect most were trying to figure out how it was a trick question.

 

[jonesing]

The IRS has granted a six month extension for students, faculty, staff at VT, along with their families.

Yeah, a poster on one of my other chatboards is a Hokie and his wife works there. She wasn't near the fray but he would get cell phone calls and text messages from her on a regular basis. He said when he called the IRS about the extension the agent was TOTALLY clueless! The agent "thought" there was something about an extension to October but maybe he should call back today 4/18 and they'll know more He went ahead and e-filed.

Well yeah, considering the puzzles posted here in the past

 

[yargrnhoj]

Yep. Note the responses on here:

"It's stopped"
"It's a trolley that could go either way".

Children immediately gravitated to the simplest answer. "Where's the door?"
