[AERO] Constellations and Fun Sporcle Test

Recently, a friend showed me the wonderful site www.sporcle.com which has become a new time-waster, although it's a slightly productive time-waster. It's essentially fun quizzes of knowledge on just about anything you can think of. Some of them are quite cool since there's also visual appeal; I like those more. I happened to stumble across this very cool constellation quiz the other day which I just had to share:

I haven't regularly stargazed in a while and I shamefully admit that I only got 15 constellations: Orion, Auriga, Taurus, Canis Minor, Gemini, Perseus, Pegasus, Cygnus, Leo, Delphinus, Pisces, Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major, and Draco. Given 8 minutes, I naturally cheated and managed to get most of the rest from looking up my star chart. However, I still missed a few. See screenshot:

  2. Alcoholic is a state of mind. Alcohol will never fix anything in life, it only makes things thousand time worse than they really are. Many people turn to alcohol in hopes that their problem will just vanish.
