A small list of things that normally happen on Monday nites:
I searched on google and this is what I found. So, the credit goes to Rich Melheim for this great poem.
Work
I do not “work”
Instead, I “fun”
I try to goof
And get things done
At the same time
Love what I do
Do what I love
And then can you
Honestly say
You do not work
You simply fun
And do not shirk
Until it’s done
The object then
Midst all this strife
Is not to work
A day in life
For if you love
That which you do
It is not work
Now
I am through

It is the 8th grade final exam of 1895. I can’t answer many of these things.
Just what it says. This game has multiple levels. It is amazing. It takes time and concentration to figure out whats different about the pictures. Its tough. Get all the way to the black level and you win! Its hard. It starts easy with easy pictures and stuff, but then then they place the words backwards or having it moving while mirrored. Its tough.
Think you know the English language? Just because we speak it doesn’t mean that we know anything about it. This site offers complex tests for those who are ‘learning’ english, but I have no idea about any of those things either.
Use your unique skills to extricate the car from the surrounding cars. Its tough, but you get used to it and in no time, its beatable.
