The Monkey Anti-Christ

Holy crap, this guy stole my idea for my At.Risk. project.



And, if I were to make an IQ test (since I am now a survivor of a five! hour! IQ test) I would totally have Dr. Scott as my fill-in-the-censor-beep example.



Another little puzzle in my IQ test would be to solve what this acronym stands for: IHOP.

Of course you would be wrong because you, and mostly everyone, would say, "Easy, that stands for International House of Pancakes!" But this would be a level seven question because it does not stand for a restaurant that serves a tasty breakfast with hepatitis, but for the International House of Prayer. Which, from searching their website, seems to been named IHOP in all sincerity and without any irony at all.

In the what-doesn't-belong-in-the-picture section I would have the testees (ha!) look at this website and tell me what about this idea makes me (the tester) so uncomfortable. You'd get this one right, because it is only a level four IQ question, when you would say that what the Revelation Generation Emergency Backpack is missing is a Bible and this obvious omission is what makes the tester so nervous about the people buying this.

A level six IQ question in this section would be to look at another page of the aforementioned website and tell me what is wrong/right about posting a special report emphasizing a flu pandemic pamphlet from the CDC. The testee might get a little confused with this situation and say that it is strange that Jim Bakker's new ministry for God involves flu pandemic, but that's not the part emphasized in the test, it's that Jim Bakker wants you to call him for more tips and tricks about the pandemic (at 417. 339. 4333).

You are either brilliant or at risk. After a five hour test you must know which one you are. So which is it?

If you are thinking about getting a Revelation Backpack, the reason it doesn't have a Bible included is that you already own multiple copies, you committed intelligent listener you.

I think what makes you uncomfortable is the terrible design of the poster.

I don't want to take your IQ test, but I would like to administer it to others--while Tammy Faye Baker applies make up to my face. A boy can dream, can't he?

The backpack does have a New Testament; aside from that, I imagine the very idea makes you uncomfortable for the same reasons it does me...

I noticed the NT too, but I thought maybe it was the four colorful cups that were included. The last thing someone in an emergency needs is to have to decide which color cup to use.

Dr. Scott. Amazing.

Damn, I didn't see there was a New Testament included (thanks ADD!)with the backpack, though I think that any Emergency Backpack worth its weight should include the Old Testament as well.

I would be SO disppointed if I walked into an IHOP and couldn't get a short stack.
