grrlscientist | October 2, 2006What do you think of ice cream? How do you feel when you miss having your very own ice cream sundae? Well, I missed having a sundae today so I am feeling sad!
You Are Strawberry Ice Cream
A bit shy and sensitive, you are sweet to the core.
You often find yourself on the outside looking in.
Insightful and pensive, you really understand how the world works.
You are most compatible with chocolate chip ice cream.
What Flavor Ice Cream Are You?
I wrote my very own ice cream poll below the fold, so take a peek and share your results!
Let me fantazise for a second here (the only luxury I have…

We're talkin' 'bout dollars and sense,
dollars and sense;
Them green-back bills with the pictures
of the Presidents.
Since life is one experience
that spares us no expense,
Gotta use them dollars
with a little bit of common sense.
We gotta use them dollars
with a little bit of common sense.
Are you sure Dolly Parton started this way?

grrlscientist | September 28, 2006Okay, you can stop laughing now, even though I agree with you that the title for this entry is rather amusing. This quiz is made even more hilarious if you knew the reason for my partial hiatus from my blog.
Anyway, feel free to share your results and comments on this quiz below the fold.
You Are 85% Grown Up, 15% Kid
Your emotional maturity is fully developed, and you have an excellent grasp on your emotions.
In fact, you are so emotionally mature - you should consider being a therapist!
How Emotionally Mature Are You?
grrlscientist | September 27, 2006I hate to publish online quizzes on a more or less daily basis for you all, dear readers, instead of writing material with more substance, but right now, this is the best I can do. By posting these quizzes, I am trying to let you know that I have not abandoned you, that even though I am quiet right now, I am here, that your comments mean more to me than you probably know, and I try to respond to your comments in email.
However, that said, I daily debate with myself about whether I should provide more detail to you regarding why I cannot post here at my typically frequent level. There are…
grrlscientist | September 26, 2006You'll find a few items in this quiz that are correct according to British grammarians, but are incorrect according to American grammarians. To take the test and to see my score, see below the fold.

grrlscientist | September 25, 2006As I said, I want to remind you, dear readers, that I am still here, and still missing you all, so I dug up a quiz that you might enjoy. This quiz presumably determines how logical you are. The good thing about this quiz is that I have some evidence that all the drugs I've had to take recently haven't permanently impaired my cognitive functioning, at least.
But wow, the illustration that accompanies the quiz sure could be improved. What do you all think?
You Are Incredibly Logical
Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic
You think rationally, clearly, and quickly.
A seasoned…
grrlscientist | September 22, 2006Another quiz for you to enjoy while you are supposed to be working (and I am supposed to be convalescing) .. and gee, how did they know that I'd chew coffee beans if I was in a crunch?
Mocha Frappuccino
Hyper and driven, you'll take your caffeine any way you can get it. Frappuccinos are good, but you'd probably chew coffee beans in a crunch!
What Flavor Frappuccino Are You?

This streaming video is clumsily made, but at least the visual quality is good.
I'm a victim of gravity.
Everything keeps fallin' down on me.
No matter where I go
That forces that I know,
Just a pullin' me down, down, down, down, down.
It's all around town now,
It's like a magnet deep inside the ground.
When I lift something up,
I can feel it pulling down.
It pulls me in the pool,
It pulls rain down on me.
I'm a victim of
Down, down, down, down, gravity, yeah.

grrlscientist | September 21, 2006I am posting another silly quiz for you to play with, mostly to remind you that I am here in the background, checking in and thinking about all of you, dear readers, but I am still unable to post very often due to inconsistent computer access (and I am trying to access my blog using an antiquated Dell computer that loves to crash, which is truly a severe punishment). However, I do read and enjoy your comments, so please keep them coming!
Anyway, my quiz results are hardly surprising in the grand scheme but they are below the fold for you to enjoy. Of course I am curious to know your results…

Well every person you can know
The Beatles and the Monkees, Chubby Checker
And every place that you can go
Like a neighborhood or a store
And anything that you can show
Like a dime or a record machine
You know they're nouns.
A noun's a special kind of word
It's any name you ever heard
I find it quite interesting
A noun's a person, place or thing.
A noun is a person, place or thing.

Lovely Lady Liberty
With her book of recipes
And the finest one she's got
Is the great American melting pot
The great Anerican melting pot.
What good ingredients,
Liberty and immigrants.
They brought the country's customs,
Their language and their ways.
They filled the factories, tilled the soil,
Helped build the U.S.A.
Go on and ask your grandma,
Hear what she has to tell
How great to be an American
And something else as well.
Have Americans forgotten our beginnings?

My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero,
But 'till you came along,
We counted on our fingers and toes.
Now you're here to stay
And nobody really knows
How wonderful you are.
Why we could never reach a star,
Without you, Zero, my hero,
How wonderful you are.
What's so wonderful about a zero?
It's nothing, isn't it?
Sure, it represents nothing alone.
But place a zero after 1
And you've got yourself a 10.
See how important that is?
When you run out of digits,
You can start all over again.
See how convenient that is?

grrlscientist | August 31, 2006Even though it is a weekday and I tend to write serious science-y material on days such as this, I am putting this silly quiz here just to let you know that I am thinking about all of you and that I miss you all, dear readers.
You Are Kermit
Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know.
You're a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life's problems.
Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.
Just remember, time's fun when you're having flies!
The Muppet Personality Test
grrlscientist | August 29, 2006A friend sent this "thought for the day" that I'd want to share with all of you;
Friends are like butt cheeks.
Shit might separate them
But they always come back together again.
A lot of peeps are helping me out, especially during my hospitalization, so I just want to take this opportunity to let all my butt cheeks out there know how much I appreciate you and everything that you are doing for me.
Muchas smoochas,
your other butt cheek

grrlscientist | August 27, 2006My eyes are grey naturally ..
Your Eyes Should Be Green
Your eyes reflect: Striking attractiveness and danger
What's hidden behind your eyes: A vivid inner world
What Color Should Your Eyes Be?
Okay, since you know all of my secrets, dear readers, tell mo some of yours; what color are your eyes and what color does this test say they should be?
grrlscientist | August 26, 2006This test (below the fold) tells you a little bit about your personality, although I don't think it is very accurate.
You Are 60% Left Brained, 40% Right Brained
The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.
Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.
If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.
Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.
The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.
Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.
If you're…
grrlscientist | August 18, 2006You have to do two things before you go below the fold: (1) tell me how girly you think you are and (2) guess how girly I am.
You Are 12% Girly
Um... you're a guy, right? If not, you're the most boyish girl in the world.
And for you, that's probably the ultimate compliment.
How Girly Are You?

Electricity at rest is called static electricity.
Like in the winter, wearing a heavy coat,
You get a shock off the doorknob.
Or you scrape across a carpet
And sneak up on your very best friend,
And zap 'im on the ear with a shock of-
Electricity, Electricity
Current flowing to and fro, makes a circuit of
Electricity, Electricity
Voltage is the pressure that makes it go.
It's pushin' uh... Electricity, Electricity...
Watts will tell you just how much
You'll be usin'
Uh... Electricity, Electricity

grrlscientist | August 12, 2006If you were, you would know how to do fun things like what you see in this video (below the fold) using common kitchen objects. But no, you all opted to be business majors instead!
What's happening here? When carbonated beverages and mentos candies are mixed together, they create a volcanic explosion. Can anyone write out the chemical equation for what is happening in this video?
