I wonder if women score higher on something like this?

Miss Cellania said...

I'd like to see that data. I scored rather low, and Mefites reported many scores in th 40s, even on hard mode. Maybe eyesight and age has something to do with it.

Not to mention learning what you're supposed to do.

35.34... but I'd swear that the original colors change in the results!

The Dunner Rucks of Sinnemota ... do they have the same operating system as bees and ants, in that they look like single entities but really they work as one ?

I assuage my guilt about killing ants by telling myself that the three I ended the lives of were as toe nail clippings to the collective communist state of Ant-hem.

I do not kill bees as I want the world to survive, flowers to grow, fruit to swell into yummy.

13 year old with Autism: After I retired I worked as a special education aide in an elementary school. At least half of my time was spent with an autistic young man. Stories like this scare me because I can see something like this or worse happening to that young man. Police, in general, are just not trained to handle individuals on the spectrum. While I was doing this job a college aged autistic was shot and killed by police in a nearby town. We need to do better.
