Wrong thread.

Well, maybe just say "Finnish high school-like school" or just gymnasium or something.

A "gymnasium" in the US is where our Physical Education classes are held. Most common definition: "a large room used for various indoor sports (as basketball or boxing) and usually equipped with gymnastic apparatus."

Secondary definition (of which I was never aware until just now): "a European secondary school that prepares students for the university." Ah, so it's like a college-prep school.

[Kassiopeia]

Oh, right, it's the gym too. Scratch that then, since confusion will be inevitable. "You don't have any real school buildings near the Arctic Circle??!"

Good to know I did not get the lowest score.

[Adagio]

Yes!!! I got the best score...


... this was about getting the lowest score, right?

[Space05us]

Home video of my cat running full-speed into a locked door

North Pole

I said North Pole, Alaska!! Its a city not a geographical location, I demand my score be lowered accordingly and recegnition of my answer be given!!!!!Or, or else I'll tell everyone I meet about how teenage Finns run around in sweat pants all day instead of studying!!

[Kassiopeia]

Or, or else I'll tell everyone I meet about how teenage Finns run around in sweat pants all day instead of studying!!

But I do!

Okay, let's count North Pole, Alaska on its own. Your loss. Wernazuma III and mrmitchell now share the tenth place at 84 pts. ADG drops one more point to 30. Space05us remains 20th at 52 pts. I.e. all the bloody same.

[Space05us]

But I do!

are you being sarcastic or serious?

[Adagio]

Yiipee


Though one question:

Why is Theme Hospital mentioned twice in question 3?

[RGBVideo]

But I do!

Kassiopeia? Running?






Yeah right...

[Theben]

Hey, I'm actually somewhat further from the bottom than I usually am...

[mrmitchell]

Since Kassiopeia did not wish to reveal my comedic genius to the world by posting my full answers, here's a few interesting ones:

7. Have you read 'the Lord of the Rings'?

Yes (not really)

(Was this counted as yes or no?)

10. Did Jacko do it?

No, but he did do a bunch of kids

(Was this counted as yes or no?)

13. Are you afraid of the number 13?

Not so much as I am of that 57 mofo. That number scares the **** out of me

(This was probably counted as "no").

Now, you all must laugh so hard that your heart stops from the intense pressure of the lung-exploding laughter.
