I have to say, that test's answers seemed pretty crap.

Haha - well I am alive but not in perfect shape!

I also could not agree with all answers.  Not really because i feel I know best but there are other options not mentioned - it was plain of course they did not make allowance for folks being armed!!!!

Yeah, it's pretty much a "politically correct" quiz, and some of the questions are "crap shots" -- such as the ones about "staring down" sharks and not conserving your water if lost in the desert.  Also we should all be thankful that Todd Beamer and the other heroes of United Flight 93 did not adopt the rationale behind Questions 6, 7, and 8 on 9/11.

Just in case you missed the stunning basketball performance by Jason, the autistic team manager, please watch this.  If you can do it with a dry eye, you are as tough as nails.

There are many versions of the video, but here are two.

Not tough as nails here Bill - quite the contrary - that was outstanding indeed.  Can we say warm fuzzies!!

Great to watch - what a wonderful memory for him, his Mom and so many others.  What a star!

Heart warming story Bill.  I wonder if the coach is kicking himself for not giving the kid a shot sooner.

I was thinking the same thing, Dan.

I've never seen anything like that before.

How could you lose with him?

Soon spring will be here and for many it will be a good time for a relaxing game of golf.
