Matching Pratchett

As you may or may not know, Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer's some time back. He's also donated half a million pounds to Alzheimer's research. As posted in various places, this one from [livejournal.com profile] fastfwd:
Today, it was announced that Terry Pratchett has donated half a million pounds to Alzheimer's research. Hearing that, it occurred to me that if half a million of us all donated a pound to Alzheimer's research, we could match his donation and make it an even million.

So whaddaya say, guys? It's a pound. That's about 2 bucks US dollars, give or take a couple of (US) pennies. You can spare that much. Go here and make your donation. Tell them it's in honour of Terry Pratchett.
Give generously, if you can.

Another Myers-Briggs



You Are An INTP



The Thinker



You are analytical and logical - and on a quest to learn everything you can.

Smart and complex, you always love a new intellectual challenge.

Your biggest pet peeve is people who slow you down with trivial chit chat.

A quiet maverick, you tend to ignore rules and authority whenever you feel like it.



In love, you are an easy person to fall for. But not an easy person to stay in love with.

Although you are quite flexible, you often come off as aloof or argumentative.



At work, you are both a logical and creative thinker. You are great at solving problems.

You would make an excellent mathematician, programmer, or professor.



How you see yourself: Creative, fair, and tough-minded



When other people don't get you, they see you as: arrogant, cold, and robotic




Generally, I tend to fluctuate between an INTP and an INTJ dependng on mood.

Hey, I want a drink - alcoholic of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics.

Happy Pi Approximation Day.

Or if you don't cotton with this American date format nonsense, wait for 22nd July for the other Pi Approximation Day.
