Another Sianz day manz... found this quiz somewhere down my emailbox.. quite lame..

>>Brain Test (use it or lose it)
>>
>>Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles.
>>As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The
>>saying; "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the
>>brain, so........ Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or
>>non-loss of intelligence.
>>
>>So take the following test presented here and determine if you are
>>losing it or are still "with it." The spaces below are so you don't
>>see the answers until you have made your own.....
>>
>>OK, relax, clear your mind and....... begin.

>>the next question. Your brain is obviously over stressed and may
>>even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with
>>reading something more appropriate such as "Children's World." If
>>you said, "water" then proceeds to Question 3.

>>4. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany.
>>If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided
>>into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO
>>of the engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining
>>engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure.
>>Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane
>>crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany
>>and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany
>>or West Germany or in "no man's land"?
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>

>>Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING
>>else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone
>>from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you
>>said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the Question 5.
