Whatever WAIS is.
I'd show off my ACT score, but you guys would hate my guts. More than usual, I mean.

You guys should read Dave Barry's spiel on those intelligence quotients Word used to give you when you ran a spelling and grammar check. You know, those things that tell you you write like a third-grader or whatever.

I hate Word. Particularly the words "Passive Voice (consider revising)". What's wrong with the passive? It's not like it outlaws other abnormal forms, even - optatives, subjunctives, perfect passive participles, nominative absolutes, gerunds/gerundives (and no, I'm not sure which is which either...). Why specifically the passive?

Well, I'll tell you then. I got a 30 overall, which is 97th percentile. I graduated in the top 11 percent of my class!

Note that I used percentile as a universal measure. 97th percentile means that of 100 people who took the test, I beat 97 of them. That's darn impressive.

Well, is everyone enjoying my ever-expanding list of sig quotes? I found the MST one at TVTropes.org. Somehow I find that it applies to a LOT of fivers, and actual Trek episodes, for some reason.

My motivation for reading them is to find a constructive dementia for me to inflict.

Jim Wright of Delta Blues fame presents a hilarious sendup of The Raven with Seven of Nine in the Edgar Allen Poe part.

The Dark Side of the Rainbow I still find this odd, and more than a little obsessive, but still amusing. Finding a correlation between The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon brings to mind that famous quote of Douglas Adams when confronted with the "6X9=42 in base 13" hypothesis: "I may be a pretty sad person, but I don't write jokes in base 13."

The Wish Project As someone who's often overly obsessive with grammar, I have to give full props to these guys. They have made it their mission to create perfect wishes with no adverse side effects, just in case a genie wanders by. Some of them can get quite elaborate, but that's what it takes to get what you want from a magical being without regretting it.
