Jesse, did you try the unfamiliar faces one, yet?
Yeah, I sucked on that one -- 66% overall or something. Definitely below average.

What is even happening?
GC, I don't know how I managed to pull Rowan Atkinson's name out of my arse. I know who he is mostly because everyone but me seems to know who he is. I can't recall having seen him in anything.
I re-took the unfamiliar faces test and got a much better score:
Out of 20 target faces (ones you studied in the first part of this test), you correctly identified 20.
Out of 30 nontarget faces (ones that didn't study in the first part of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 27 of them.
Overall, you got 94% correctThe average person with normal face recognition scores about 85% on this test. If you scored less than 75% on this test, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I didn't even try to guess the two I missed -- the first, I honestly never ever would have gotten because the only place he's ever visually registered for me is on The Daily Show, and even then really only as "Clenched-looking guy maundering on about Iraq who isn't Bush". I'm completely embarrassed about the second, because I admire him enormously and I was just watching one of my favorite movies of his last week. What the hell, brain? You recognized hairless bloaty-faced Seinfeld and not this man whose works you revere?
On the old-new faces test, I got somewhere in the eighties, I think one percentage point below whatever the norm is. So why am I so horrid at face-recognition in real life?

Given my complete inability to remember faces--even of people I know--I'm not going to take that test. It's going to make me feel like an idiot.

I'm good at faces (who knew). The new faces one:
Out of 20 target faces (ones you studied in the first part of this test), you correctly identified 16. Out of 30 nontarget faces (ones that didn't study in the first part of this test), you correctly responded that you had not seen 29 of them.
Overall, you got 90% correct
The average person with normal face recognition scores about 85% on this test. If you scored less than 75% on this test, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.

Also, Cindy, he's the face on the LJ userpic Betsy HP uses almost all the time. Not that I can remember her mentioning the name, but at least the face has been floating around for ages; maybe you just osmosed it from there somehow.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Dude, I just finished doing E's and my taxes (online, woot) and we're actually getting money BACK this year! For the first time since college! (Only about $30 once taxcut.com's fees are added in, but still. Excitement!)

KITT is for sale: [link]
Unfortunately "it cannot achieve the 300 mph speeds that KITT reached, soar 50 feet in the air or throw smoke bombs, [but] key features of the star car are intact. Perhaps most important, the red scanner light on the nose glows and makes a humming noise."
I loved KITT.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In the unfamiliar face test:
Overall, you got 58% correct
The average person with normal face recognition scores about 85% on this test. If you scored less than 75% on this test, this may indicate face recognition difficulties.
I seem to be near borderline again....
