MindTrap Friday
I’m not sure that makes physics gay, but it sure doesn’t make it straight. Calculus, on the other hand, it doesn’t get much gayer than that. You calculus rope-smokers know exactly what I’m talking about.
Anyway, enough of the homophobic talk, you came here to play some MindTrap, not to talk about the homosexual lifestyle. If you wanted to talk about that, you’d be on Andrew Sullivan’s site right now.
Let’s find out who the wieners of last week’s game were:
The answers to last week’s questions were:
1) Tower–All the words in group A can be proceeded by water. 2) The mother of the little girl, Susan. 3) 6
Which means that RM was the outright winner. That’s very impressive, let’s give RM a big round of clap. Please, everyone, give RM some of that special Mitchievillian clap, he really deserves it. RM, you are the Smarty Panted Winner of the Week. And with that honour, comes special privileges, such as, one free movie rental from We B Movies & Games. Free small fries when you purchase a large drink and a sandwich, at Billy Buffalo’s Burgers and Wrap Emporium. And, 5% off on the first $300 spent at Linen-Mart–The place for all your linen needs.
Let’s have a little looksie at the questions for this week’s MindTrap Friday:
1) In the “Strange” family, each daughter has the same number of brothers as she has sisters. Each son has twice as many sisters as he has brothers. How many sons and daughters are in the family?
2) Which word from Group B belongs with the words from Group A and why?
A) PAPER, BLAST, BANK, BOX
B) JUICE, BAG, CRADLE, CARPET3) There are two books standing side by side on a shelf, each consisting of exactly 100 pages. The book on the left is upside-down. If you add the page number at the extreme left-hand side of the left-hand book to the page number at the extreme right-hand side of the right-hand book, what is the total?
I won’t say that those questions are easy, but I will say that I look really super when I wear my new Hilfigger jeans with my black hoodie. Something about that black hoodie that really completes my look. Anyway, that’s neither here nor there. What is here or/nor there is whether you are going to participate in this week’s game. I think the answer should be yes, I’m encouraging you to play. RM decided to play and he buried you people. RM was like a tsunami and you people were caught on a crappy wooden fishing boat.
This game is open to all peoples, whether small or large, white or off-white, unemployed or employed, Conservative or non-brained, you are most welcome to join this game. Enjoy the hell out of it.

OK… let’s see if I get the right REASON this week, not merely the right answer!
1. 3 boys, 4 girls… the horny rabbits!
2. Bag – all of the words go with ‘Sand’
3. 2… assuming both books have their spines out.
I’m right AND I’m first. I declare a palace coup on the evil dictator known as ‘RM’!

Yes, I’ve never met RM or even talked to him/her, but it’s pretty safe to assume that RM is evil and a dictator. I can just tell, I have that gift.

1) The answer is too disgusting to repeat. Mayor, if you continue to ignore the literally inherent dangers of inbreeding, then I’ll have to report you to the authorities.
2) The answer is JUICE, as it completes the sentence, “This morning, I read an article in the PAPER about the BLAST at a BANK that opened a safety deposit BOX, and then I drank some grape JUICE.”
3) The terms “extreme left” and “extreme right” are nothing more than political constructs meant to stifle freedom of thought and render intelligent and informed debate impossible, you bigot.

Nice work, Mikey. I concede to your superior speed of reply.
