Free-IQTest.net - IQ Test
can you do it too?
on purpose i mean
you can't all be idiots too you know
you have to be born idiots

if so copy and paste this into your blog
i solemnly swear that iq tests on the internet are for noobs
pro tour hollywood
i so so so hate finals
keeps me away from playing magic
well day 2 of pro tour hollywood is done
seen a lot of innovation but not much has changed since shadowmoor was added
a few decks got a few cards but on the whole not many things have changed and the metagame looks similar to what we had after morningtide
oh by the way
the top 8 includes a dude from
singapore
18 year old choo yong han
playing uwr reveilark combo (don't worry. if you don't understand, you're not meant to)
complete profile of the top 8 can be found here
Yong Han Choo Pro Tour-Hollywood Top 8 | | ||||||

pretty standard uwr reveilark maindeck
beats just about everything except faeries
other top 8 decklists here
just a random aside
the merfolk deck of jan reuss looks so .....random
only 2 ancestral visions?
and random 1's and 2's in the sideboard?
at least it worked out for him
i'll be rooting for you jan!
but the way the lots were drawn he won't have to face the only faerie deck in the top 8 until the finals
strange fact: only 1 faerie deck in the top 8 (paulo vitor dama rosa)
a breakdown of the top 8 stands like this
Round 16 Standings |
| Rank | Player | Points | OMW% |
| 1 | Nakamura, Shuuhei [JPN] GB Elves | 40 | 62.9650% |
| 2 | Bohny, Nico [CHE] Doran | 39 | 57.5521% |
| 3 | Lybaert, Marijn [BEL] RG Ramp | 37 | 64.3229% |
| 4 | Ruess, Jan [DEU] MERFOLK!!!! yay | 37 | 61.0677% |
| 5 | Mihara, Makihito [JPN] UWR Lark | 37 | 59.9001% |
| 6 | Choo, Yong Han [SGP] UWR Lark | 37 | 58.4635% |
| 7 | Gindy, Charles [USA] GB Elves | 37 | 57.4219% |
| 8 | da Rosa, Paulo Vitor D [BRA] Faeries | 36 | 61.8490% |
so as we can see
even though going into the tournament faeries was the best deck/ deck to beat
it just barely made top 8
| 9 | Yurchick, Adam [USA] | 36 | 60.9375% |
| 10 | Petric Maretic, Grgur [HRV] | 36 | 58.3333% |
| 11 | Scheel, Brandon [USA] | 36 | 56.9754% |
| 12 | Kopec, Mateusz [POL] | 36 | 55.5804% |
| 13 | Wafo-tapa, Guillaume [FRA] | 34 | 64.3973% |
4 more players were on 36 points and PVDR just got in on better tiebreakers
the other sad part is wafo tapa
(love these weird names)
he was undefeated day 1 but a couple of unintentional draws and a loss in the last round saw him knocked out of contention
still, he brought a very innovative deck to the tourney designed by manuel bucher
video is here
oh poor wafo tapa
you can get his decklist here
or for your convenience
Guillaume Wafo-Tapa | | ||||||

maybe i made a mistake by saying not much has changed
shadowmoor made the manabases of preexisting decks much better
so much better in fact that you can play cards like this
and this
both with insane colored mana requirements in the same deckwhen lorwyn was first released we thought that these would only go in monocolored decks
funny how much the format has changed
can't wait to see how the top 8 turns out
it not so very special day today akshully
to all those who are turning your age dial forward by 1 year today
congratulations
welcome to the 1 year older club
membership is exclusive to those turning one year older
(which is just about every human on the planet, so it's kinda not so exclusive)
enough nonsense
now for an orgasm of cute pics
don't let this happen to you
had enough?
apparently not
now say thank you
besides all this i would like to thank my boss for the wonderful meal she treated us to yesterday evening.
it was wonderful
thanks
and once again happy birthday to those who have made my life slightly better than what is already is
reflect
it's been too long since i used a one worder for a title
but it's for a special reason
i would like to direct your attention to this page
click on it
now
here
are you back?
sad right?
no human should go through what mr adrian has gone through
my heart goes out to him
may he find whatever happiness there is left for him
then
may he rest in peace
things don't always work out the way we want them to
but that's life
craziness is all around us. i swear

School uniform sexy, says group
KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.
“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.
“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.
In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.
They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.
Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”
“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.
“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.
However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.
“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.
“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.” – AFP
of course if you don't believe me (as if i'm that free to make up a story like this) you can always check it out yourself by clicking here.
now i think what this guy says is kinda unqualified
i never got horny looking at my classmates in their pinafores (got turned off akshully)
seems i'm not the only one thinking that way

Teachers and students scoff at ‘baseless’ statement.
By TAN EE LOO
PETALING JAYA: Some teachers and students have hit out at National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia for saying that the uniform worn by girls at government schools is “sexy” and “a tool to lure men”.
One male teacher even suggested that instead of debating the sexiness of the uniform, more focus should be directed towards male self-control.
SMK Assunta Sixth Form student D. Presana was appalled by the group’s comment that the uniforms “encouraged rape and pre-marital sex”.
“Pre-marital sex has nothing to do with what girls wear to school. It is the couple’s mentality and the spiritual guidance they receive that influence their behaviour,” she said.
The association’s vice-president Munirah Bahari had called for a review of the uniform policy, saying that some girls used the “transparent” white blouse to lure men.
A teacher at a girls’ school in the Klang Valley said Munirah should not have made such baseless statements.
“She should carry out a study and see if our school uniform is indeed a factor that contributes to rape and pre-marital sex,” she said.
The teacher added that it was compulsory for female students at her school to wear a camisole under their baju kurung and only white and skin-coloured bras were allowed.
A Form Five male student of a school in Penang said the suggestion that female students “cover up” might not be a smart move, as it is hot and humid in Malaysia.
“It would make them feel even more uncomfortable studying in our hot weather. And I have not heard of any complaint from my female schoolmates that their uniform (with the pinafore on) is transparent,” he said.
A Malay teacher in Malacca, however, suggested that thicker material be used to make the white blouse.

Islamic group’s uniform comment slammed
By LISA GOH
PETALING JAYA: Something must be seriously wrong with local men if the sight of girls in their school uniform turns them on, says Sisters in Islam.
Programme manager, Norhayati Kaprawi, describes claims made by National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia that the school uniform worn by girls at government schools “encouraged rape and pre-marital sex” as baseless.
“I totally disagree with the statement. What? Even wearing baju kurung is still not enough?” she asked.
“As for the white blouse being too transparent, Malay women who are in mourning wear white baju kurung. Even Umno women wear white baju kurung. So what is the issue?” she said when contacted yesterday.
The student association’s vice-president Munirah Bahari had stated that “the white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it.”
She also called for a review of the uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.
Women’s Aid Organisation executive director Ivy Josiah said what was needed was ”a review of misguided beliefs about women's attire,” not a review of the uniform policy.
“Statistics and research has shown that all women – young, old, women clad in tudung (headscarf), miniskirts, even babies in diapers – have been victims of rape and sexual assault.
“It is entirely irresponsible for anyone to suggest the idea that rape is a result of attire. Rape is not about attire, it’s about power that perpetrators feel they have over their victims,” she pointed out.
Even men spoke out against Munirah's logic.
Men’s Action Network Against Violence (man.v) member David Anthony said such statements stereotyped men as people who don’t see women as anything other than sex objects.
“It’s the wrong attitude ... it’s perversion,” he said.
Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen declined comment.
