Here's a one-question IQ Test to help you decide how you should spend the rest of your day.....(I turned my computer off)
There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush.
By imitating the action of brushing one's teeth, he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Now, if there is a blind man who wishes to buy a pair of sunglasses,
how should he express himself?
Think about it first before scrolling down for the answer...Oh, enjoy the following pics.
No cheating now! Don't scroll down until you really think about it!
Got the answer yet?
Cute Frogs, huh?
Look carefully at the following picture. There's more in it than meets the eye.
Look more carefully at the above picture. You'll discover more new things and images in it every time you look at it. You might even discover yourself! The blind shall see and the dumb will speak!
OK, now scroll down to see the answer.
He opens his mouth and says. 'I would like to buy a pair of Sunglasses'.
If you got this wrong or took more than 30 seconds to get it right-- please turn off your computer and call it a day.
I've got mine shutting down right now.
It took dopey me quite a while before it dawned on me that I wasn't as smart as I my ego thought I would be. My wife, on the other hand, answered the question immediately...ARGH!!! I'm such a pea-brain, it took me way too long.(You know you missed it too, so shut down your computer)

Yeah, I knew that one too. *smug look* but only because I had heard it before. *chagrined*
Fortunately, I got it immediately. :) However, my husband really came up with the most correct answer, which was: he wouldn't need to buy sunglasses in the first place. (Ray Charles not withstanding) I still told him he had to turn off his computer and go outside.
Have a great weekend!
'Puter stays on. Took more than a second, maybe 10, but not 30.
Cool pics.

Woo-hoo! I usually miss these things, but got it in about 5 seconds! Look out Marilyn Vos Savant...
You got me. I am shutting down my computer.
I'm going to blame it on the fact that it's 2:30am, but I actually NEVER got the right answer.
Glad to have you back though, Charity (even if it is just to make me feel stupid!)
Ok...you got me also. I am a stupid idiot...shutting down now, you just gave me the kick in the pants I needed to go study for my anatomy exam.

I got it right then saw he Jesus and when back to see if he was an atheistic blind man. . . I put way too much thought into these things. Time to turn off the computer and get back to studying for my finals!
Yeah, you got me....
I did get it under 30sec and I did consider that he was blind but probably wanted then for looks. :)
Also, I love the Jesus pic. very interesting. I hope you don't mind that I copied it.
Also, I hope that all these well wishes from colleagues and others help to put things in a better perspective and that you can see how valued you are as a physician and a person.
I hope I don't offend you by recommending this book. It is called "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. It was on the NY times best seller list for a long time and I am enjoying it right now. :)
Got it, but it took nearly 15 seconds. It came to me when I quit thinking and just enjoyed your pictures, so I'm not sure I would have if you hadn't posted them.
OH! OH! OH! I NEVER get those kind of things, but I got that one!!!!!
Wooo-hoooo. I wonder if thats a sign of some kind?
I got it right away too.
I'm humiliated. I'm an idiot. I'm turning off my computer. But I'm also going to rejoice seeing Charity posting again!
I've never heard that one but I got it in about 5 seconds or so. I started thinking "well he could motion to his eyes and.. hey..he's blind not mute!" lol
Good one!
I got it right away. hah. Oviously I am not stupid and I have a high IQ score.
I got it right away. Haa, I am not stupid and I have very good logic
Funny, my answer was "He's blind...he can't see the sun."
It doesn't matter if he doesn't need the sunglasses, he just wants them. Says so right there.
I'll be leaving my computer on, as directed.
