The Great and All-Powerful Lesliedotcom

Well today is lesliedotcom's birthday and I think I may have given her the best present she could hope for: The satisfaction of making me look foolish. And I know she finds that immensely satisfying because she practically glows and beams with joy, hidden under a non-chalant attitude.

I got this little IQ puzzle in my Christmas stocking where you have to seperate these two intertwined hook like metal pieces. I and a friend could not make heads or tails of it. I was fed up with it. So knowing that dotcom has tested with a high IQ, I threw it at her and told her if she could do it I'd forever proclaim her great and all powerful.

She had it seperated in under a minute and a half. She tried to seem ho-hum about it but could barely contain a Chessire Cat-like grin afterwards.

She usually doesn't think I give her any credit, but on this day, I give her full credit and due respect. She accepted the challenge and almost instantly succeeded. I later was able to seperate the things myself a few times, but it took me awhile and right now I almost feel like it was luck, because I have been unable to duplicate it.

For this ONE day you are great and all-powerful miss dotcom, tomorrow the carriage turns back into a pumpkin and you go back to being an uber-dork. Happy Birthday.
