Disliking Math Says You Are Expressive

You are an expressive, passionate, and spontaneous person. For you, math is way too cold a subject. You dislike how black and white it is. While some people have extreme passion for math, that would take far more work than you're willing to put in. What you're into changes like the wind, and you could never be forced to choose one thing. You have to be free to follow what you love.

Splitter

Object of the game: Help the smiley face guy get to the exit.

Use your mouse to split objects and joints. You have a fixed number of cuts at each level. Only wood and joints can be split; the metal and brick objects can not be split. Collect stars to get points.

In the example above, you would need to cut through the wood that the smiley guy is on (just to the left of the left brick that it's sitting on), then cut the metal weight to make it fall and propel the the smiley upwards to the exit (the brown button) and getting points by hitting the star on the way.

Unlike many other games, you can immediately try the level over, or skip it entirely or even view the solution. You must complete all levels, however, to send your score.

The last episodes of King of the Hill aired tonight. -sniff-

A description at Hulu.com sums up the premise of the show the best, I think:

KING OF THE HILL depicts the life and times of HANK HILL (Mike Judge), his family and their neighbors in the fictional suburb of Arlen, Texas, the heartland of America. A hard-working, loyal family man and proud Texan, Hank is assistant manager of Strickland Propane. He's a blue-collar Everyman who sees himself as the voice of common sense and reason in a world of incompetent sales clerks, meddling bureaucrats and do-good liberals.

From Wiki:

King of the Hill was an American animated series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, that ran from January 12, 1997 to September 13, 2009 on FOX. It centers on the Hills, a small-town Methodist family in Arlen, Texas. It attempts to retain a realistic approach, seeking humor in the conventional or mundane aspects of everyday life.

Judge and Daniels conceived the series after a run with Judge's Beavis and Butt-head on MTV, and the series debuted on the Fox Network on January 12, 1997, becoming a hit early on. The series' popularity has also led to syndication around the world, including every night on Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim. The show has risen to become one of FOX's longest-running series, and the second longest-running American animated series, behind The Simpsons. In 2007, it was named by Time magazine as one of the top 100 greatest television shows of all time. The title theme was written and performed by The Refreshments. King of the Hill has won two Emmy Awards and has been nominated for seven since its inception.

I could say so much more about this series, but to be honest, I'm too sad. Perhaps "sad" isn't the word, but maybe "melancholy" would fit better. As the Wiki entry said about the Time article, it was one of the best 100 shows of all time, and in my OWN rating, is one of the top five that I've ever enjoyed. (and that's saying a lot, because my list wouldn't go much past ten or so. IMHO, network TV basically sucks)

It will live on in syndication, I'm sure, but that's no help because I think I've seen every show at least twice, but there MIGHT be one that slipped by me.

If you've never seen the show, there are several of the latest episodes at Hulu.
