It is apparent, that I've been remiss in my explaination of who I am...not to make a life story out of it, here's the "Cliffs Notes" version...
I was making a megre living folding shipping boxes at a local factory to try and pay for college classes, unfortunately for the world, that gravy train ran out (it was a perfume and make-up factory so they hired college students for the summer on assembly lines for Christmas production)....I got laid off, and did the next logical thing and went to the unemployment office....
They gave me a test to see where I would fit best (it involved how to use wrenches and screw drivers as I recall)...(I just wanted to go back to folding boxes again)...several weeks went by and the unemployment office called me back to take another test (I'm thinkin' they done figured out I'm retarded)...so I do...only this time there was half as many people taking this test as the last one....weeks go by again and finaly another phone call from the unemployment office...they want me to take ANOTHER test!...so I do.
I go back and take another test...this time I'm the only one taking the test, and folks are watching me take it...(it was several essay questions)....
weeks go by again and I get a call from the unemployment office, they want me to come back to speak to the manager;
so I do...I meet the secretary and tell who I am...She stands up and says you're in BIG TROUBLE MR.!..she takes me by the arm and hauls me to the managers office, shoves me in there and slams the door.
The manager looks up at me (irritated) and asks in a harsh tone; "Where did you get the answers to those tests!?!...and I replied;
"How could get answers to tests I didn't know I was going to be taking?"
Manager;
"Then you guessed?"
Me;
"No it wasn't a guess, I read the questions and I answered them."
Manager;
"Then there is only one place we can place you....NASA"
My box folding dreams were dashed on the rocks....A U.S. gubment certified genius...misery finally has a name...

You could do boxes days and write stories at night. Doing boxes gives you lots of time to think.

Are you an actual computerized conscious rocket? You know..and the boxes you fold are space/time, hence the wormhole to the jobcentre and the vacuum of vacancies.

Re: What the?
He cheated. He started it in one of the three fora that allow new topics without the required review process. Pretty indicative of the individual, I'd say - rocket's already figured out a way to fudge the system...

Re: Me.
It would be my suggestion that continued circumventing of the protocols here result in suspension.

Re: What the?
You did not originate the circumvention. It was mentioned when the new protocols were set up. You're not half as smart as you think you are.

You're jealousy is astounding, it was mentioned, but nobody did it.

It goes like this.
If you guys just want to post links to other peoples speculations and probabilities, then regurgitate long dissertations about the possibilities of their meaning, postulate episodes of each others truths about the subject matter back and forth, then have at it...I was looking for forums when I found this one. However, if you want to have fun, and try on the red sequened dress you would never purchase much less be seen in....hang with me for awhile.

That is because others are polite and able to operate as members of a community.
