Which sports car are you?

I hate these damned online personality tests.

But every once in awhile, one comes along that ropes me in.

I saw this and the thought that immediately came to mind was, "I wonder if I'm a Corvette."

Well, guess what...


I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!



You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

Flash site design

People try to create 3D depth on web sites all the time, with everything from drop-shadow boxes to cutouts over animated GIFs. Bitkraft pulls it off in Flash, with an amazing puppet animation in the header.


And those puppets are freakin' creepy. I'm going to have nightmares about those puppets.

"You know what's weird?"

We are blessed with four bright and inquisitive boys, always discovering new and interesting things. They are constantly coming to Julie and me with these observations and the discussion usually starts with, "You know what's weird?"

So I'm going to memorize this article from NewScientistSpace on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense and use it as my stock reply. "Yes, I do know what's weird!"
