Steam Trek! A great fanfilm shot in grainy black and white just like the old silent movies. It even uses those comical dialogue flashcards. The ship needs coal to keep going, so our intrepid crew must descend via ladder to a planet to get mixed up in various hijinks to save the day!

That IQ test is US centred. How TF should I know about nickles and dimes?
However, I am apparently a verbal genius. Which fits - the last WAIS verbal score I got was 153.

Whatever WAIS is.
I'd show off my ACT score, but you guys would hate my guts. More than usual, I mean.

You guys should read Dave Barry's spiel on those intelligence quotients Word used to give you when you ran a spelling and grammar check. You know, those things that tell you you write like a third-grader or whatever.

I hate Word. Particularly the words "Passive Voice (consider revising)". What's wrong with the passive? It's not like it outlaws other abnormal forms, even - optatives, subjunctives, perfect passive participles, nominative absolutes, gerunds/gerundives (and no, I'm not sure which is which either...). Why specifically the passive?
