Science Knowledge Quiz.

This quiz was mentioned over on BadAstronomy a couple of days ago. It's...stupidly easy. I don't know anything about the place offering it, beyond 'they didn't ask me for contact information', so I'm going to pretend it's not relevant.

I answered all the questions correctly, and it's so easy that I don't understand why anyone else could possibly get anything wrong. Yet, Females, on average, answered fewer questions correctly than males, and people of my age group didn't do quite as well as the next age group up.

These are all basic, obvious questions. Hell, most of them, you can get the answer just by having watched a lot of crappy TV -- and I'm not even talking about the Science Channel. What the hell is the problem here?

Then again, it could've been worse. The numbers could've been lower. And I think they probably would be if it weren't for the fact that some people were probably driven away by the word 'science'....

Nevermind. That doesn't make things better.

Thanks ever so for breaking my gallery.

While I was asleep last night, my gallery broke. Which is why my theme stopped working. Because my theme relied on my gallery.

How'd that happen? We got moved to a new server, and, apparently, Gallery doesn't like that. So, either I wait for them to fix it, or I start finding ways to fix it myself.

...and I'm not feeling very patient.

I sent a...whatever it is. A polite note to customer service, or whatever they want to call themselves. But I also found my way back into my own ftp [it was broken, for some reason], and trying to figure out exactly what's preventing the upgrade from running properly. I'm also kinda wondering why, exactly, it wants to upgrade.

Until then, I've ripped out the random image bar at the top of the page. Once everything's working again, I'll put it back.

I figured I should mention it, in case anyone thought something much more...exciting had happened. Like omghax, perhaps.
