:w00t: That's exactly what I got.  Except for me it says that I am indeed Shakespeare.

I missed one of those questions because I didn't catch that it asked for antonym instead of synonym.  :mad:

It would take many years of study to equal the vocabulary of a Dutchman.

Savonarola

Rail is a dangerous industry; there's falling risk from towers and bridges, high power electricity, locomotives and other large machinery.  Even a humble rail switch can easily crush a foot.  While the rail companies go to great lengths to emphasize safety the potential for injury is always present, and injuries can be severe or even fatal.  So last week when I was on the tracks I had the following conversation with a signalman.

Signalman:  We had an injury down at Wayne junction.
Savonarola:  :o  What happened?
Signalman:  One of the flagmen threw out his back.
Savonarola:   :glare:

It probably wasn't funny to the flagman, but I was expecting a lot worse.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

FWIW, I scored 740 on the verbal section of the SAT, so either this is a really smart group or I've killed a ton of brain cells since high school. Both are plausible/likely.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

30325. I thought it was pretty easy though, it's probably one of those tests rigged so most people score high and thus share it on Facebook and message boards. Not that I would ever fall for that.
