MindTrap Friday

Considering the amount of participants we had for last week's MindTrap Friday, to have only three people emerge as the Smarty Panted Winners, is quite telling. What does it tell The Mayor? It tells The Mayor that there must have been one singular question that stumped the pool of players. It tells me that the pool in question, although filled with Smarty Panted like-minded peoples, is also filled with disease and rot. And there is only one way to rid a pool of disease and rot, and that is through the funky beat of disco music. This is the time at the Flea when we dance!

Steamboat McGoo is back, and he is on virtual fire. For if he was on real fire, well, quite frankly he'd be, you know (perished). But he's not, he's on virtual fire.

JonMas is also on fire and listening to the funky beat of disco music. As well, J.M. Heinrichs looked at the question, spit in their collective questioning faces and came up a winner--the crowd goes wild.

Steamboat McGoo, JonMas, J.M. Heinrich--I declare thou, "Mitchieville's Smarty Panted Winners of the Week".

You will receive the greatest prize any man/woman can receive: You get to gloat over the carcasses of those less intelligent than you. Imagine, if you will, you get to gloat, for one full week, over people that have always treated you badly and called you names (it's true, I have emails that say as much). These people treated you like they were a giant workboot and you were nothing more than a dirty scrotum ripe for the kicking. Well you know what? THEY are your scrotum for one week. YOU are the workboot of life--so let the kicking begin.

What were last week's answers? You can find them here.

Let's begin a new round of MindTrap Friday:

1) K Morris was born on December 27th, yet her birthday is always in the summer. How can this be?

2) It is a well known fact that metal expands under heat, if you held a solid piece of iron, that is in the shape of a doughnut over extreme heat, will the hole in the centre of the iron doughnut grow larger, smaller, or will it remain the same?

3) Granny Greg was leaving Montreal, boarded a train at 4 minutes past the hour. After boarding, he stuck his head out the window and shouted to the ticket man,” How far are we from Mitchieville?" "All trains take 5 hours either way," he replied. "How many trains shall I meet on the way?" asked Granny Greg. "A train leaves Mitchieville at 5 minutes past the hour, every hour" answered the ticket man. How many trains will Granny Greg meet?

And with that, another week of MindTrap is in the books.

Good luck to all the MindTrap participants. If you have never played but would like to, this is as good a week to jump into it as any. Well, next week would probably be better, but who knows what is going to happen between now and then. Right? Exactly.
