Our Yearly Dementia Test

It's that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen test.
Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it!

Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to the last test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may have difficulty.Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not.

1. What do you put in a toaster?

1. What do you put in a toaster?

Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast' give up now and do something else...
Try not to hurt yourself.

If you said, bread, go to Question 2.

2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?

If you said, bread, go to Question 2.

2. Say 'silk' five times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World.

However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass.If you said 'green bricks,' why are you still reading these???
If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4




4 Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to

Milford Haven in Wales .In London , 17 people get on the bus.
In Reading , 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
In Swindon , 2 people get off and 4 get on.
In Cardiff , 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
In Swansea , 3 people get off and 5 people get on.
In Carmathen, 6 people get off and 3 get on.
You then arrive at Milford Haven..

Without scrolling back to review, how old is the bus driver?

Someone has decided he does *not* want to face the world. Does anyone know if Toronto's imploded yet after last night's election results? Maybe Quincy knows something I don't?

Thanks for the warm up round, Wallie. Got any hard ones?

By the way, the question was written as

what is a green house made from?

not

what is a greenhouse made from?

therefore green bricks would be a more appropriate answer than glass.

Imploded? Not yet, but ff69 makes an interesting point; who is more likely to survive the next four years in office, 41 yr old Ford or 89 yr old McCallion?

I'll share some of the questions I put together for Mensa's 50th anniversary in Canada, starting with this one about Canadian TV themes of the 1970s (sorta like classic rock). Mensa rules - no googling or other research, just answer off the top of your head.

Which Canadian TV shows used the following as their theme or intro music?

a. An excerpt of Supertramp's "Fool's Overture"? ________________

b. An instrumental cover version of The Moody Blues' "Ride My See-Saw"? _______________

c. Quincy Jones' "Soul Bossa Nova"? ________________
i. Bonus: What series of films also uses this as its theme music? _________________

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you all slept well

I went to my grandma's last night so she could help me sew some stuff for my boyfriend's costume. This is the first costume I've ever made, and I was kind of worried about it, but I think it turned out ok!



Can you tell what he's supposed to be?

Have a great day, it's looking pretty nice out there for now

An ode of English Plural.

We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and there would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England.
We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes,
we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square,
and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,
grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?
Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English
should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
We ship by truck but send cargo by ship...
We have noses that run and feet that smell.
We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns down,
in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and
in which an alarm goes off by going on.

And in closing, if Father is Pop, how come Mother's not Mop?

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

Now see..... you said green house..... not greenhouse (1 word) so yes, I said green bricks

[a_brisebois]

This was us last years Halloween. I'm on the far left (poison Ivy)
Our costumes were all hand made!
