Most Facebook IQ tests are just a joke, meant to make stupid people feel smart.

The test wasn't about whether or not you can answer the question correctly; it's about whether or not you can be humble afterward.

‎(Microsoft Rant Of The Day)‎

So when changing colors of a bar or chart or whatever in SSRS, ‎when you set the „Transparency“ of the color in the dialog, you’re really setting the OPACITY. I just spent a half hour ‎wondering why every time I set a color in my report the damn element disappeared. And I hate ‎working with reports, so that’s a half hour I want back, dammit…‎

Correct, Sir! The originator is up on Monday.

That was fast, too easy?
Maybe you could provide the explanation for the others anyway?

I'm still puzzled that this went to moderation...

There's no intemperance needed           Intemperance: "lack of moderation or restraint", so use it's inverse.
when you sound like all the landmasses   CONTINENTS becomes CONTINENCE: "Sexual abstinence as a state of life"

That's interesting given that INcontinence means someting entirely different and not at all related. Engrish so funny!

(purses lips) I wonder though... (googles)

Actually, I'm wrong!

Incontinence | Definition of Incontinence by Merriam-Webster[^]

So the original meaning of the word was to do with sexual appetite. There you go, you learn sometihng new every day.

So here I am, drinking and remembering my dead sister who was smashed by Melanoma 18 years ago pretty much to the minute. I got to donate Bone Marrow in what at the time was an experimental procedure for the particular type of cancer. The wankers involved pissed about for too many weeks before chemotheraping her Immune System to death as they were excited about the fact my Mother had died from Melanoma 7 years 7.5 months earlier.

Thanks for all the well wishers on CP 16.5 hours ago, but I won't see her again. Heaven, Jesus, Jehova Mohammed, Allah, Joseph Smith and all the rest are fictional characters to help the weak minded get through life.

The Multi-Armed Elephant God best referenced in a Simpsons episode is more real.

Hope to see a God or Cancer at some time, they won't survive the next 50 years of hate I have waiting for either of them.

My personal rules: Driving == no drinking.

Lost too many friends to drunk drivers (some they were drunk and hit something, some hit by others who were drinking). Not acceptable behaviour in my book any more.

My GFs grandpa died from a brain tumor. I've never met him, he passed away before my gf and I met. From the tellings he was an amazing man who somehow survived the holocaust. Cancer sucks big hairy donkey balls, and so does tumor.
