You're in the green shirt.

We have a winner!
Fun fact: I was on Bay 12 when that picture was taken.

[Rose]

Your avvie text said long haired, so I just went with that.

This thread makes me insecure. So many bay12ers are secretly handsome or otherwise good-looking.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that physical beauty and intelligence have a positive correlation, hmm... lets check the Google!

"Studies have been conducted that have demonstrated a positive correlation between physical attractiveness and intelligence. A study conducted by Kanazawa in Britain found that after controlling factors such as race, social class, body type and health, beautiful men have, on average, an IQ score about 13.6 higher than the average looking man. While beautiful women have an IQ score about 11.4 higher than the average looking woman."

So as mine's 36 higher than the average and as I'm assuming the rules of Mathematics are bent to my will (I shall smite down those who object!) I must be as good looking as 2.65 beautiful men! That's the nicest compliment Wikipedia's ever given me <3

You haven't seen me. I've had people flee from me. It does not feel good.

Huh. I must have broken the curve back into ugly nerd territory. I score around 175 regularly. During the IQ test we took for Psych in High School (it took an entire week of classes,) I scored 177, which was 56 points higher than the next highest person in the class.

Whoa.

That was the same reaction I had. Then, I laughed, because pfffffff.

[Reudh]

177 eh?

Based in IQ alone, and not taking social skills into account, I scored 153 at age 12.

High-IQ-Five!

I still have to take the Mensa test. Can't afford it. That would look damn good on a resume, though.

[Scelly9]

138 for me.

[Nospherat]

Oh wow, it's been a while, but I've been busy and I have embarrasing awesome pictures for you!

Let's see.

This is the 0700AM wake-up call from my last airsoft event.
http://youtu.be/_2bhdGyye2Y
(for those of a more impatient nature, the fun starts at the 30s mark)
Charming. Lovely. So gentle, so calm and peaceful. We were really pampered with that one.
I don't have too many pictures at this point, it's too early, we've just got back home, but I promise you more.
Anyways:

Some (about a quarter-ish) of the guys in the blue faction

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The small green faction (the rebels) in their blasted village, which we assaulted 9 times over the course of 10 hours, with horrible casualties and didn't manage to do squat.
That place was a fortress.
Having to climb a few steep hills, through a incredibly wet forest, crawl under wire fences, pass one muddy ravine, climb one boiling-hot, sunny, exposed hill and then face them in close-quarters battle while they have the home-town advantage?
Murderously FUN!
Good grief, it was insane. 

At the end of the game, as a reward, the Field Marshals let us unite the Red and the Blue, to try and storm the Green Rebels, and we barely, and I do mean barely did it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

One of the two airplanes that did a bit of a show at the game opening.
Low-flying passes, smoke, a paratrooper, and stuff. I hope someone else got better pics.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The red faction, or rather, again, about a quarter of it
These guys were a huge pain in the ass. They were uphill from us, about 1.5km in a straight line, but a whole lot more because of the terrain.
We had to deal with them, while trying to deal with the rebels aswell.
Oh boy.

[mendonca]

Wow. That looks incredible.

[Heron TSG]

My word, that sounds swell. Was that done by a local organization, or what? Seems like it'd be hard to get hundreds of people all coordinated for such a thing. Mighty fun though, it seems.

I still have to take the Mensa test. Can't afford it. That would look damn good on a resume, though.

From the two tests I've taken, I'm apparently 177 (age 17) during the middle of the day and 135 at 3AM (age 16). Considering the current job market, it might actually be worth it to add something to my resume, heh. I might look into taking that test... if it isn't absolutely ridiculously expensive. Those tests were probably crap, though. I mean, who hasn't heard that Drat Saddam palindrome before?

[Nospherat]

All done by a local airsoft club, with some funding and sponsorship from local airsoft shops.
My pictures really do no justice to this event, I was too busy playing. But we had other field photographers, and guess what, I have pictures from two more events for you, when I'll get a breather from work.

And yes, airsoft is jolly good fun!
