Proof of Retarsion
Today I finally broke down and purchased a domain name. I now am the owner of Retarsia.com (which will hopefully be set up to redirect here by the end of the week) - and in order to celebrate this, I've renamed this blog. I got tired of people trying to prounce the name instead of just spelling out the letters (it was an abbreviation, people!) so now the name of this blog appropriately is The Kingdom of Retarsia.
So you're asking: Matt, what is Retarsia? It's the land where retarsion runs rampant. Retarsion, by definition, is an extremely advanced form of stupidity. Sometimes, retarsion can prove fatal. Hope that's cleared up.
Normally I'm not huge on just posting links to web-tests or personality quizzes (almost 2 years and I'm happy I never put a "WHAT KIND OF LIGHTLY SALTED PRETZEL ARE YOU?" type quiz on this page), but I came across a really fun and challenging quiz on a Mensa website today: http://www.mensa-test.com/ Apparently a score of 1-5 is average, 11-18 is intelligent, and 19+ is "genius" - which I think is a little iffy. I mean, you're calling people a genius based on their ability to figure out some phrases? Regardless, it's some good fun. I managed 31 of them after about an hour - it's a killer test. So go do it, have fun, and if you check the comments I'll post the answers.
