That's cool. I've seen that guy's renderings in the Canada section. Good to see he's getting recognition for it.

IQ: 143 and I'm pissed off. My browser did the drawing the lines in the box portion badly. I couldn't finish a couple of them because it was messed up.

This will help you greatly if you are involved in publishing or journalism.

You have superb spatial relations abilities that give you a huge advantage when undertaking such activities as estimating space or parking a car.

I knew we had 1 or 2 geniuses on board, well done.

The functionality of the spatial recognition test made it awkward to use as well.

I tried the test answering 2-3 random questions total in the 5 sections, Still came out with a 90 ?1? hmmm. curious?

I also noticed that the score fluctuated after each beer I had...

Beer IQ tests. Awesome. I'm in.

Now I'm going to be thinking about the WKRP episode where Johnny and Venus are drinking with the patrol officer to test reaction times on the air and Johnny keeps getting faster as he gets more drunk. I miss that show.

IQ is only one method of measuring intelligence and not really a great one to me. I tend to score well because I play a lot of Lego (spatial), Scrabble, crossword puzzles, and number puzzles. All which line up to those kinds of questions pretty well.

WKRP, that's a blast from the past...
I loved strategy games, my gf is a huge buff as well, logic, chess, etc.. I'm game for the beer iq test as well..

Oh and visit soon, the Lego store is a coming to the burg..

HomeInMyShoes · #**2568** Posted **Apr 22, 2015, 3:23 PM**

My wallet is thankful there is no Lego store here. I am guilty of buying bricks from lego.com for projects. I've probably got a hundred mini figures and a setup of about thirty or so figures on my desk. I rotate between summer and winter.

I am a Lego geek. If I didn't have a son and family obligations I would spend all my money on Lego.

I built a few micro-towers for my son. He liked them. Then they became part of the inevitable great disaster before I could take photos. I'll get a chance to build more when he's older. I really enjoy the stuff he comes up with.

My friend and co-worker just came back from Tokyo. *so jealous*

He brought me back a nanoblock dragon. I've got it trying to bite the head off the soccer player right now. I so want to get drunk at a yakitori restaurant and wander the streets of Tokyo again.

Daughter, loved playing with all my finely constructed and time consuming projects..I'm still trying to recover and rebuild from the carnage she created..

She gets it now as a teen... science is her passion now..(this week anyway)

Tokyo, fascinating city..get back thier as soon as you can..

We've talked pro/con Minneapolis freeways before, here's a graphic I saw on Twitter:

esquire · #**2575** Posted **Apr 25, 2015, 8:02 PM**

Well, that didn't take long... CentrePoint is a murder scene for the first time, with the rear alley behind the parkade and much of the parkade itself taped off today as the police conduct their investigation.

buzzg · #**2576** Posted **Apr 25, 2015, 8:12 PM**

It's funny though how there's no mention of which specific parkade it is, like "the new True North parkade" or "Glasshouse parkade" ... article does the best it can to disguise haha. Surprise surprise from WFP.

That's unfortunate but not surprising. There is very little foot traffic on that block (why would there be with it being a parkade on one side and no retail or residential on the other?). Combine that with the demographics of Winnipeg and stuff happens I guess.

cllew · #**2578** Posted **Apr 25, 2015, 8:38 PM**

The Wpg police reports are always vague. Its always an assault / arrest or robbery in the xxx block of zzz street they never give an exact location for privacy reasons.

Wigglez · #**2579** Posted **Apr 25, 2015, 8:44 PM**

As someone who spends a large portion of their lunch break looking out of the window onto Hargrave watching the various drug deals go down. This isn't surprising lol...

pkirvan · #**2580** Posted **Apr 26, 2015, 2:44 AM**

Looks like there were two murders in that area not one.
