Dad Geek Quiz

Not that the “geek” title is something that we all strive for but if it is a badge, it should be worn with honor. The folks at JustSayHi.Com have a number of playful quizzes to take – the Geek Quiz is one of them. As seen by the badge below, I am pretty geeky, please don’t tell my wife, I don’t want to burst her bubble.

This is probably the most harmless quiz in the batch. Some of the others answer the question – The Booze Test, Name That Alcohol , How Many Germs Live On Your Keyboard?, and What Are Your Chances Of Surviving A Zombie Apocalypse?

Kids 1, Clowns 0

In other news, the University of Sheffield for the Space to Care study aimed at improving hospital design for children and did an extensive poll of 250 children (ages 4-16) to discover once and for all, “do clowns make kids happy?” As reported by Nursing Standard magazine – found all of them disliked clowns as part of hospital decor, with even the oldest children finding them scary.

Decorating children’s wards of hospitals with images of clowns is likely to frighten rather than cheer young patients, research has found. And this came as a surprise to them? Thanks heavens Mr. Medical Researcher Man, I – as a concerned parent – say “Thank You” for putting forth the money and a dedicated effort to discover once and for all whether kids truly like clowns, now you can scratch that off your “To Do List” and move on with business (you know like – autism, cerebral palsy and such).
