They're much stronger than a normal cup, and I hear they increase size!

What object's size do they increase?

Scott, you'll have to ask my friend. I didn't get that one.

I asked him and he says to tell you, "let's just say the 23 inch baby won't be needing his size increased."

I believe the cup being mentioned is an athletic cup. Ladies, I assume you know what that is?

I've answered A to question 1 a few times and I'm still alive. So to that.

I have already lost two of them, and if I hunted I would lose a third.

Question 2: Hey, let's pour a full can of petrol onto a bonfire!

[ ] A. Cool!
[ ] B. Nah, third degree burns aren't my kind of thing.

Ummm.... this question would preclude 80% of all men out there from moving up the evolutionary ladder.

I, for one, have done this plenty of times.

Radium is hugely radioactive. So the tumors would be increasing in size and not a whole lot else. Looks like you're all dead except me and my chemist buddiest!

So it looks like the geeks SHALL inherit the Earth

I doubt it. The radiation you've absorbed through years of watching X-Files and playing Starcraft has rendered us geeks sterile (and unattractive!).

That quiz reminds me of the infamous Darwin Awards. My pick for winners are the doomed accident investigators in "Sizzling Scaffolding."

I can think of a few more. And EG, like you I've answered A. to some of these and haven't failed the quiz yet. I think the teacher must have given us bonus points or something to make up, though for what, I can't imagine!

Question 5: Hey, why don't we see if we can go all the way down this extremely steep hill without putting on the brakes?

[ ] A. Yeah! That sounds like great fun!
[ ] B. Um, just drop me off at the top with the cell phone, so I can call 911 for you guys.

Question 6: If you mix oxygen and acetylene in a big weather balloon and set it off with a fuse, it will just make a big whooshing noise and not a big explosion since it's not contained.

[ ] A. Oh, I believe you! Let's try that!
[ ] B. Man, you're nuts! It will make a HUGE explosion because the oxygen is already mixed in with the fuel. The burn rate will be nearly instantaneous.

Question 7: Homemade firecrackers are more fun. If we put black powder into a PVC pipe with caps on both ends and drill a small hole for a fuse, and set it off, will YOU be the one to light the fuse?

[ ] A. Sure! That sounds cool!
[ ] B. Um, maybe we should test the burn rate of the fuse first, and do we have any idea how big of a blast this will make? How far back should we get? Oops, I've got to go now guys! Y'all have fun!

Ana, I'll do number 7 if you drill the hole after the gunpowder's been put inside the tube.

Next Question:

8: I hate traffic jams. Hey, that lane is moving faster. I can

[A] Squeeze in between that Tanker truck and the onrushing Semi.
[B] Pull over at the next exit and hit the bookstore until traffic dies down.

9: Beef and Bean Burrittos:
[A] All the nutrition you will ever need in one small package.
[B] Fat and Heart Attack to go.

10: Uncle Husseins Iraqi De-Liberation Army wants You:
[A] Join and become a member of this new and exciting world order.
[B] Run away lest you get caught up in the cross fire when the rangers drop into the recruiting booth.

Number 6 was referred to as "the disappearing cup trick" at Praxair's combustion research lab.

So all us combustion types fail. This also goes to Dave Barry's article on preparing charcoal for a barbeque.

"Do not attempt this unless you meet all of the following requirements:

1. You are an idiot"

Question 11: Your Pop-tart is stuck in the toaster.

[]A: Quick! Get the fork and root that sucker outta there so you can burn the roof of your mouth on that fruity goo in the middle of the tart!

[]B: Just leave it. Breakfast is overrated.

Question 12: You're in a horror movie and you hear a strange noise coming from the other room. Do you...

[]A: Volunteer yourself to go "check it out."

[]B: Send in one of the minor characters. Like the stupid jock.

Question 13: You are one of 30 ninjas sent by your evil warlord to ambush and kill Bruce Lee's character. Will you...

[]A: Wait your turn like everybody else.

[]B: Bring a firearm. Use it.

Question 14: You just received your ACME Jet Propulsion pack and roller skates in the mail, so...

[]A: Grab the knife and fork and suit up!

[]B: Stop chasing that stupid roadrunner. They probably aren't very tasty anyway.
