...or a well-diggers ankle or maybe even a Republican's heart. Not expected to get up even to zero today. Schools closed. Bright, sunny, and bitter.

Things are fairly quiet here, which is just as well because we're also short staff (again.)

altivo: From a con badge (studious)
From numerous people. At least I choose the less rude wording of the results:

I am smarter than 96.99% of the rest of the world.
Find out how smart you are.

Since I got all 25 answers right, I presume this means that approximately 3% of all people who take the test get them all right. Note that it says "smarter" rather than that I have a higher IQ. Many of these questions depend on the ability to quickly recall the relationship between metric measurements and English, or other such factoids. A reference librarian should be expected to score at the high end of such a test.

[Edit: As of 14:05 the next day, the percentile ranking for a perfect score has risen to 99.78. I sort of wondered if discussion of the questions would raise the number of people getting higher scores, but apparently not, or at least not yet.]
