Do you think like a psychopath?

OK, that psychopath thing wasn't fair! Just because you can tell why doesn't mean you would be like that!

Good links, though.

So, we can all assume you got the "right" answer, psycho? And more importantly, you don't know my address, right?

Would it help or hurt to say the "right" answer was obvious? :)

My wife didn't get it at all, thank goodness. I didn't get it for two days so I guess that makes me a slow- witted psycho.

Top Ten Top 10

Letterman has practically made a career out of his "Top 10" Lists. I'm shocked he doesn't have the copyright. He does, at least unofficially, as anyone who does anything similar immediately brings thoughts of him to mind. Go »

The Mickster = Imelda

Brenda's Diet Diary

Dear Diet Diary, As a Christmas present this year, my daughter, Lauren (what a thoughtful darling), bought me a week of personal training at the local health club. Although I am still in reasonable shape since being a high school cheerleader 40 years ago, I decided it would be a good idea to give it a try. I called the club and made my reservations with a personal trainer named Juan Antonio (ooh what a name) who identified himself as a 26-year-old aerobics instructor and model for athletic clothing and swim wear.

The Magic Kingdom Is, Well...Magic

We just flew in from Orlando from a week's stay in Kissimmee, Florida.
