For the smarter than thou LOST fan:
another meaningless, yet fun quiz for the informationally inclined

1.) Sun has been working non-stop on her new hobby, where she applies the Five Elements and uses the propolis she harvests to help the others on the island. What is she harvesting and why is it helpful?



2.) If Jack were a doctor in India, he would be under what branch of medicine and what would Primim non nocere mean to him?


3.) Charlie has realized that he tends the speak rather rapidly and that he needs to think before he speaks. So he talks to Locke and Locke tells him about a dialogue that will help him called Bohm. What is Bohm and why will it help Charlie?


4.) Claire tells Charlie that Austrailia is an imaginary continent but he doesn't understand what she means. So he finds an encylopedia and searches for the answer. What does he find? And what does terra australis incognita mean?

5.) Charlie is in love with Claire. But he wonders if she loves him too! So Charlie seeks counsel in Locke, who always seems to know everything. And Locke tells him that Descartes says that he is very much alive for pondering this and that since he is alive, he can think for himself. Charlie is very confused. Who is Descartes and what did he mean when he said cogito ergo sum?



Answer these questions and then I will grade you! The second part of the test I will come up with later! Have fun!

1.) Sun has been working non-stop on her new hobby, where she applies the Five Elements and uses the propolis she harvests to help the others on the island. What is she harvesting and why is it helpful?

She is harvesting the bladder tendrils of adolescent newts, a very time-consuming but ultimately rewarding hobby enjoyed by millions worldwide. These are used in metallurgy, ceramics, carping, The Hague, and begging for trout on the streets of Lagos.



2.) If Jack were a doctor in India, he would be under what branch of medicine and what would Primim non nocere mean to him?

He would be an Acupunctural Proctologist. The phrase translates loosely to, "Whatever you do, don't eat the vinadaloo at Singh's!"


3.) Charlie has realized that he tends the speak rather rapidly and that he needs to think before he speaks. So he talks to Locke and Locke tells him about a dialogue that will help him called Bohm. What is Bohm and why will it help Charlie?

Johann Leopold von Bohm (1837-1755?) was a Transvaald tree surgeon and neurokleptic whose research into principles of ungulate copulation was widely credited with bringing about the Saarland "Heavy Cream" Revolution of ought 4. He's retired now and living a quiet life as a periodontist in Buffalo.


4.) Claire tells Charlie that Austrailia is an imaginary continent but he doesn't understand what she means. So he finds an encylopedia and searches for the answer. What does he find? And what does terra australis incognita mean?

He doesn't understand because he's in a freaking drug coma, that's why. I'm wondering where he's going to get the encyclopedia... at the All-Island Free Library and Conchcateria? And the term means "Terry and Austin, like, borrowed Terry's brother Tad's ID and they bought some beer? And now like they're all like puking all over the game room. Bummer!"

5.) Charlie is in love with Claire. But he wonders if she loves him too! So Charlie seeks counsel in Locke, who always seems to know everything. And Locke tells him that Descartes says that he is very much alive for pondering this and that since he is alive, he can think for himself. Charlie is very confused. Who is Descartes and what did he mean when he said cogito ergo sum?

Jim "Bojangles" Decartes is a stickman at the graveyard shift tables at the Golden Nugget in Reno. He was referring to that tricky 4-3 rollout.

Unforunatly, Balanchine, none of those were right! But because you were so inventive I give you a round of applause for making me laugh for the first time today.
Truly, your intellect scares me

Balanchine, you're a hard act to dance after! Nevertheless, Ophelia's excellent quiz deserves some more replies, so here goes:

1. Sun is following the bees/To the trees/In order to appease/the Feng Shuis.
Not to mention adding some herbal antibiotics to the doc's pharmacopia.

2. In India, Jack would probably be first doing no harm according to the ayurvedic traditions. Warm oil dribbled on your forehead, anyone? (Yuck!)

3. I'll see your Bohm and raise you a Keats. As in..." Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason." Or, as Hurley would say, just play golf.

4. Terra australis incognita refers to the mythical great Southern continent, long the object of expeditions -- not Australia but Antarctica. Terra incognita (unknown land) tends to appear on old, incomplete maps...or, for the pessimistically inclined ... "here be dragons."

5. Don't put descartes before the whores... Dualism, mind/body split, reason, doubt, blah blah. I think therefore I am hooked on this board <g>. (Or, as Xander once said to Willow, "you have way too many thoughts." <g>)

1. Five points for the fun little poem and I will give you two more points if you tell me how propolis will help the other castaways.

2. Five points! Good job!

3. Keats was a very smart man. I will give you four points for the correct answer and two for adding another.

4. Four points for being cocky! And another half a point for getting it half right.

5. Three points for getting half of it right but you didn't entirely answer my question.

Total: 23 1/2 points out of 30! Not bad!!

I frighten most women. But this has nothing to do with intellect.

propolis : a brownish resinous material of waxy consistency collected by bees from the buds of trees and used as a cement
Its applied to the mouths of non major survivors :lol2:

1.) "Bee Glue".* It* has antisepsis, antibiotic, antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral properties.
Bees use this resin to closes up the gaps in their hives especially where the Queen is getting ready
to "hatch" a new city of bees.* Pro = New* Polis = City

2.) Preventive Health Care

3.) Bohm* is a form of free dialoge, an exchange of ideas and information.
* It begins with no set purpose beyond the intention to explore thought.
* I imagine Locke believes it will help Charlie to slow down his thought process,
and think things through before he speaks.

4.) terra australis incognita means the unknown southern land, Antarctica

5.) Descartes was a 17th century philosopher who gave us Cartesian geometry, and the famous
quote "cognito ergo sum", "I think therefore I exist!"

Well, how did I do?

:angel:

Very well, Hiram! You get a perfect score! ;D
