I am mad...

7. At 55 MPH
Your Answer: ACorrect Answer: B. A box of Kleenex could kill youIncorrect!Explanation: There is a famous case about a guy in Wisconsin who was coming around a curve and did not see the ice on the road. There was hidden ice, black ice. He skidded on the ice and hit a little tree on the side of the road going 30 mph. He had his safety belt on, even a shoulder harness. The man was killed by a box of kleenex from the back shelf of his car.

Now if you watch mythbusters, I believe that they proved this bull wrong.

So what should I do? Write a letter? Do nothing (because I still passed)?

Edit: Here is another one. My answer was something like "another way of saying using drugs"

39. Substance abuse and addiction are called
Your Answer: BCorrect Answer: A. Public enemy number oneIncorrect!Explanation: Substance abuse and addiction have been called �public health enemy number one in America. While this characterization is apt, it can obscure the broad range of problems they entail. From the medical perspective, there are more deaths and disabilities each year in the U.S. from substance abuse than from any other cause: 100,000 people die due to alcohol; at least 19,000 die from illicit drug use and related AIDS complications; and more than 400,000 die from smoking.

Not quite sure of your problem!

Is this a theory test for driving? A medical exam?

Its a drug/driving test

^^^ If he's worried about killer kleenex, I don't think more drugs is the answer... Very Happy

Edit: I'll take the valium off ya though. Wink

A drug/driving test?

Ok, I'm a blonde bint, we know that, but what's a drug/driving test?

Are you LEO?

Whatever, you passed so don't sweat the small stuff.

I remember taking my bike theory and one of the questions was about the position of a horse and rider aproaching a roundabout if they were turning right.
I answered (Correctly) that they should be in the right hand lane as a horse and rider are treated as a carriage.
I was told I was wrong.
I was really pissed coz I knew I was right, but hey ho, what can you do?

Write tyo whomever you need to, to ensure someone else doesn't fail through the same question, but you passed, so celebrate...yay

happy crowd

Does that mean you can drive drugged up now? Cool. But I think some scambaiter badgered you with those test questions. See picture forum for more examples of silly forms.

Assuming this is as I read it...

"There is a famous case about a guy in ..."

A bit like the one about kidney harvesting - the more "convincer" fluff in the story the more likely it is to be an urban legend.

As for the other one, it sounds like that have too many open ended options.

I'd get confirmation and write in and request a correction.

Also, being a great believer in "sticking it to the man" I'd also suggest there is ample grounds for rabble rousing a class action law suit here if a load of people have failed a test due to incorrect marking Twisted Evil

So come on, let my small, yet still strangely beautiful, blonde head in on the secret...

What exactly was the test for??? Confused

Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2007 10:17 am

Lemme guess ... You are real name is either Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan

... *shifty eyes* my name is shakira.

Edit: If anybody cares - I passed all 3 of the tests.

Even at a pound of Kleenex box, the force would only be 30 lbs. in a 30 mph collision... Somehow I have a hard time believing that one. Particularly since I found a link that indicated 30 lbs. of traction wasn't unusual for treating spinal injuries.

Helluva headache, maybe, but a severed spinal column? http://www.megcabot.com/diary/?p=360

Then, I automatically disbelieve any "famous case" about a "nameless guy" that can't be confirmed through any news source...

There is more to the story. The car rolled in the crash and the box of Kleenex broke open and all of the tissues ended up under the driver's head while he was unconscious. Before the ambulance arrived, he had a dream that he was eating a huge marshmallow and choked on the Kleenex. It happened to this friend of mine's brother's college roommate.

^^^No, it wasn't a marshmellow, it was a thin wafer. I know this because my sister's husband's brother had an online affair with the barber of the lady who was married to the clerk who transcribed the M.E.'s findings.

Uhhh, mythbusters are about as scientfic and reliable as trying to win the lottery by rolling dice. Their "experiments" are pure bullshit.

They get (some of the) the answers right, but not based on their experiments. Almost anything they "prove" could be explained by a 7th grade science teacher during the first five minutes of class on the last day of school before summer vacation.

Did somebody say Valium?

Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:45 am

~kleindoofy,

No! The mythbusters are awesome. Did your 7th grade teacher blow stuff up?

Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 10:52 am

Never mind Mythbusters. Watch Brainiac: Science Abuse... fantastic, and funny!!! Now hosted by the hilarious Vic Reeves, along with the genius Jon Tickle...

Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:36 pm

Brainiac is like mythbusters with good looking women and younger host's

Mythbusters are pretty much pyromaniacs, if in their experiment nothing blows up doing it properly they blow it up anyway in various ways..

Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 2:45 pm

Both those shows blow stuff up, that is cool! I like big BOOOOOMMM!!!

WHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!

Seriously, my wife hates it when I watch mythybusters or any major american movie that takes two braincells to watch, that includes big explosions...I am a guy, I like that! Very Happy

Where did you take the test? Can you make a complaint there? Or else with the section of government that takes care of traffic?

Does that help?
I wouldn't give a toss if it were me, you passed!

Try the Zimbabwian version: What do you use a horn for?
A: to greet friends.
B: to warn for danger....

I wouldn't know....
