No one tried out my True or False? post! If you haven’t already posted your guess, please click here and try it out before reading on!

4. I have sat on a living orca/killer whale.

FALSE!
7. I have fallen from a bridge and swam away, unharmed.

I was also bitten in the rear end many times by a stray Siberian Husky that had been wandering around my neighborhood for a few weeks. One of its eyes was enormously huge and stuck out like a big bulge. It had no pupil or white on that eye as that entire eye was sky blue.

So, who was the winner? Who knew the most about you?
School is still getting started.
Hey, if I pick a date for our next meeting, do you want to make some posters?
Yay! I beat Gifford! Well, if I had known you would have been so vague, I would have guessed better. You sat on Shamu? Curse you, saftey precautions.
Wednesday, September 5th at 3:30 in the Central Campus Library. First meeting.
I disbelieve your states thing! name them so I may dispute them!
I do believe you hav e been in the states of:
Exahustion, Confusion, Esctasy, and Denial(currently, apparently), at least.
Well, only you and Rebecca tried it out. She got 3/7 and you got 2/7, so it looks like Rebecca won by 1. It wasn’t really a competition though, just something for fun…I wonder if anybody else will try it later.
Sure, I would love to make some posters!
That’s the point of hyperboles…
What do you mean? You don’t believe that I have been to 11 states? Well, I was born in Texas, also lived in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota, and have visited New Mexico, Colorado, Florida, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Wait, that’s 12. Well I was off by 1. (I’m not really sure if I’ve been to Missiouri or not… )
I purposely typed “in the United States of America” so I wouldn’t get anything like this…
