Recently, I happened to stumble upon the online comic, Wapsi Square. At first, I saw it referenced in a thread on a forum site somewhere. I didn’t pay much attention to it then because it didn’t exactly catch my eye. It didn’t seem funny, and based on what I saw then, this was a comic getting most of its jokes from boob-related themes.
My second exposure came when I was looking for pics of Elita Loresca for the Does God Hate Florida or Something story. While looking, I stumbled upon this forum thread, which referenced Loresca’s apparent resemblance to the comic’s main character, Monica.
Ok, I thought. I’ll bite. If it had as many fans as it seemed from this forum, maybe there was something I was missing. (Hint: I was.)

Given the fact that I’ve been hanging out at Beliefnet a lot lately, and my adoration for pigeon-hole personality tests that cram you into some character or character type, it should come as no surprise that I’ve discovered the Beliefnet Belief-O-Matic. This test asks you a bunch of belief-related questions, and based on your answers, it tells you what religion(s) you’re most compatible with. Obviously, this test isn’t an “end-all, be-all”, but I’ve found it to be pretty enlightening, since it isn’t too far off the mark. (The questions are somewhat general which, to the dismay of many Christians and Muslims, means that religions are treated as “comparatively equal”, or that they’re all equally (in)valid in their historical facts, and that which matters most is the overall belief system or practices.)
Anyway, so I took the test and here are my results…

This is a follow up (I guess) to “What Character of [X Movie/Show] Are You Most Like?” I saw this thread on Fury-Tech forums and, being a computer nerd, I just had to take this test. As it turns out, the OS I’m most like is…

centesimal — adj 1: relating to or divided into hundredths 2: the ordinal number of one hundred in counting order.
History: From Latin centsimus, from centum, hundred.
Synonyms: hundredth, 100th.
The challenge: Use it in a sentence not involving math. For example, the I.Q. of some of my acquaintances is quite obviously so high that mine must seem not only decimal, but centesimal by comparison.
Ok, now you try.
