On Russian Orthodox Christmas Eve..

One of my all-time favorite stories, from the Ukraine The Miracle of the Spider and the Yalynka (Christmas tree). I love spiders, and this story could be thought of as an ancestor to E. B. White's Charlette's Web.

There's a German version of this legend, too, but in that one, the Christ Child comes and turns all the spiderwebs to silver, because the "plain" ones are too messy -- thus giving us the origin of tinsel. I prefer this story, because here, the spider's web is seen as beautiful as is.

So, I took Emode's IQ test...

Here are the results... FWIW, it felt like my brain was not working at peak -- took the test while sleepy. Be that as it may:

Congratulations, Ann!
Your IQ score is 131

This number is the result of a formula based on how many questions you answered correctly . . . [snippity]

During the test, you answered four different types of questions — mathematical, visual-spatial, linguistic and logical. We analyzed how you did on those questions, which reveals the way your brain uniquely works.

We also compared your answers with others who have taken the test, and according to the sorts of questions you got correct, we can tell your Intellectual Type is an Insightful Linguist.

This means you are highly intelligent and have the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. [snippity]
