Extra Credit Questions
There have been complaints that this site is "too hard", so here's a chance for you to make up some points before final grades are issued.
1. Hank has to visit some friends in the city. He leaves for Jersey City (20 miles away) at a speed of 60 mph, but hits several road construction sites with detours and blocked streets along the way. Given that a. he's running late as usual, b. he hasn't driven in the Jersey City area for several decades, and c. that he's traveling at rush hour, how late will he be to meet his friends? (10 pts.)
2. Hank returns home late on the 16th to find that an election has been called starting on the 17th. Since he is busy trying to catch up with professional and personal obligations, how long will it be before one of the mods emails him a list of candidates for the election? (10 pts.)
BONUS: 5 pts. if you can show how this is another sneaky Midwestern way of holding on to power. Must use references to Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Juan Peron and Augusto Pinochet.
3. In his absence, Hank finds that Kierkegaard has released his inner lecher and has been posting extensive text and images celebrating the joys of scantily clad young women. Given this, how often will he read words or phrases like "onus", "its", "luck", "hadron" and "pen is" and think that it's another one of Kierkegaard's diaries? (5 pts.)
BONUS +1: Will his Catholic upbringing cause him to make the same mistake for the phrase "ex cathedra", and think it has something to do with priests and altar boys?
BONUS +1: How many emails will he get from female posters asking to be de-registered from the site?
4. To his immense astonishment, Hank learns that Harley and Scott have refrained from insulting anyone except sports figures for over a week. Does this:
A. Make him question his reading comprehension
B. Make him question his sanity
C. Make him question the basic structure of the Universe, or
D. Make him give up blogging?
(5 pts.)
5. Match the following pictures with the person's screen name. There are two non-members in the group to make it interesting (10 pts. each)
(p.s. I'll know if you cheated)
Names: Jordan, dionysius, TGX1112, HankP, Wagster, Brooks and B Rational (those last two are one person)

LOL -- that was a friggin' hilarious diary.
Hey, as for those pics, are you a really good photographer, do you have a really good camera, or both, or were those really pics of all of our better-looking brothers who just happened to be at another table there that night. Now that you've posted those pics, I wouldn't be surprised if Forvm manages to get a few mediocre-looking chicks! Awesome!
I only have an answer to your first two questions:
1. …how late will he be to meet his friends?
Answer: Too late for him to stop off at a men’s clothing store, buy a Manhattan-appropriate shirt, and burn his Hawaiian party-guy shirt.
2. Hank returns home late...how long will it be before one of the mods emails him a list of candidates for the election? BONUS: 5 pts. if you can show how this is another sneaky Midwestern way of holding on to power. Must use references to Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Juan Peron and Augusto Pinochet.
Answer: Not long enough for him to burn the rest of his Hawaiian party-guy shirts. Oh, and he wants to keep power...and neither Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Juan Peron, nor Augusto Pinochet would be caught dead wearing one of those Hawaiian party-guy shirts.

)I'm a pretty good photographer, but that of course is up to the viewer to decide. I will say that the camera (Canon XTi) is awesome, it makes it much easier to take good photos in difficult situations. Thank Traveller, I talked to him before I bought it and the lens.
As far as my clothing selection, vinteuil likes it (I think, I can never really tell) and that's good enough for me. You might want to read his review before you harsh on my work clothes.
p.s. I think calling them "chicks" tends to be counter-productive, but maybe that's because I'm not from the big city.
