I’ve never heard of any of these myths, but I find the myth about Marilyn Manson starring in ‘The Wonder Years’ kind of amusing.

Farmers Almanac - Full Moon Names

Last night was the full snow moon. I took some pictures without a tripod. Needless to say, they turned up blurry.

The Computer Game Quiz!

I have to admit that I have no clue on which game any of these screenshots comes from. The boy might do well, though. He’s a gaming geek.

CHASM : spikything.com

This game might seem lame in the beginning, but as you go deeper into the tunnel, it’s getting harder and harder. I didn’t do very well. I think my highest score was 824.

I always thought that Marilyn Manson was suppose to be the young kid from Mr. Belvedere (that was the rumour I heard long ago).

As for the gaming quiz. I got all but 15 before I needed help. I know I had played a couple of the games but I couldn’t think of the names. I can’t figure out 3, 8., 10, 27, 29 , 31, 33, 34 and 36.

2 Jordan :

I got 23 on the first try on the games quiz, and 28 thereafter. 38 took me forever; I knew what game it was, but by the wrong name.

Also, the site is really, really slow. But, oh! All the memories!

What strategy did you use to distinguish great writer from commercial writer in the Art or Hack quiz?

5 Firda :

Mikhail: Great writer uses sophisticated words more consistently than commercial writer. Probably not the best strategy but it worked for me.
