Swine Flu Question

Found this question in the "Ask Yahoo" site:

I'm sure the poster was just trying to be funny, but one of the persons who replied tried to be funny and failed miserably.



I'd say the odds are fairly good for that person already having swine flu....probably the chauvinism sub-strain.

Saw this hilarious graphic on the 'net:

Don't Forget the Pic!

Makes me angry to get these spam/scams. Makes me even angrier to get them without photos.



Hi! My name is Olga Savenkova and I am live in Moscow, Russia. I am looking for a friend. I have a photo if you want. No need to reply here as this is not my email. Write me at : OlgaSaven@gmail.com. I am waiting.
Olga.

Here's the email from the header. daleharsh99@email.com

I wrote "her" back, asking for a photo. I'll update this post if/when I get one.

Wow, went for nearly an entire month without one of these Rusky women wantin' to hook up with me. Thought they'd forgot all about me.

Who is John Galt?

That's the question that's being posted these days all over the 'net from those quoting Ayn Rand and comparing the current time to the plot of her famous novel, Atlas Shrugged.

I never cared for the book all that much, but I read it years and years ago before I became interested in politics, so perhaps I should try reading it again.

That said, I still don't care who is John Galt. I'd rather know who Alvin Tostig was.

Analyze This!

Shortly after I started this blog, I ran across some "blog analyzers" and put this site to the tests.

The first one I tried was o'Faust, which was supposed to tell me what famous author's writing this blog resembles.

My first result was this:

I wasn't for sure what to think about the result; I wasn't displeased that it compared my writing to the classic Wizard of Oz, but wondered why I got such a low score...surely there was some other famous author to which I could compare with a better rating.

Taking it again today, I got this result:



Hmmm, a better score, but now instead of being the Wizard of Oz, I was Alice in Wonderland!

I also checked TypeAnalyzer to see what sort of writing it thought I had. The first test said I was this type of person from my writing:




It was a bit off-putting to be classified as a girl, according to the graphic. After I took it again, this was the result:





Totally different result, but at least I'm a grown up woman now!

There was also a gender analyzer that was interesting:




Yessiree, I'm 99% man!!!

Taking it again a few months later:




Ooops, now they are less sure this blog is written by a man.

What else could I expect, though? After all, I went from being a Wizard (pay no attention to that blogger behind the curtain!) to a weird chick who talks to a rabbit.

Move over caterpillar, gimme a hit off that hookah.

I gotta message for these sites, and don't even have to put it on a cake.
