See how fast your reaction time really is. I've not been able get past "bobbing bobcat." Have had several "sluggish snails."

I'm a "sluggish snails" and my brain is slow this morning! :oops:

Bloomin' sheep...

Tried five times and never got past the bobcat label....

Nari,

I suspect that are playing video games at office! :roll:

[nari]

Nah, Bernard
I am hopeless at video games and have no interest in them...
Actually, all games including Solitaire are banned on our network!!

But in the dim dark past I learned to shoot with a rifle!

The only experience I had with guns/riffles was in the army and the instructor qualified me as a poor shooter but with a big mouth! :lol:

I can't get past bobbing bobcat either. If you check deeper in the site there are some other things on there, memory games, interactive anatomy, psychology profiling, etc. They're all fun.. but I like coming back to the sheep, although if I obeyed all the exhortations to drink more coffee I'd be swimming in it. (Do you suppose a coffee company is supporting the site?)
A rifle shooting skill is serious stuff Nari.. don't bring it to Canada! They have detectors for those..
Diane

[nari]

Definitely won't, Diane!
We had to surrender our rifle when it became impossible to own a gun at all due to red tape; this all happened after the Port Arthur massacre which you may have heard about.

Besides, I was never much good at it -!

and my morning was going so well, got my son to school on time, remembered to bring my notes , and then I fall into the trap of trying my luck on this maddening sheep thing., now I really need a coffee.

[Diane]

haha... join the club!
By the way, if I may be so bold.. what's the translation of "altissima quaeque flumina minimo sono labi"?
Diane

[ginger]

of course you may be bold Dianne, I enjoy what little latin I can remember from school days, always thought it was fun to learn but unsure if it had value beyond that. This little gem translates literaly as
"All the deepest rivers slip by with the least sound"
Though its more common usage would be , "Still waters run deep"

[Diane]

Ooh... now you are eliciting the poetic response (goose bumps) from me! Lovely.
