Miss Anthrope (aka: Amy)

I wear a lot of green...It's pretty easy.

About Me

It is impossible to bottle the essence of cool that is me...But in brief, I'm witty, sarcastic, amusing and most days, somewhat misanthropic. Amongst my list of quirks are an uncanny knack for remembering random combinations of numbers eg. phone numbers and a high capacity for retention of useless, yet factual information eg. approximately 1600 people are bitten by other humans each year, in New York City alone and Amish people don't believe in the use of aerosol air-fresheners. (I have since been informed the Amish also have a problem with zips...)

Cracking the puzzle: More chickens, more eggs...

Ok so I'm still thinking about this whole 'which came first, the chicken or the egg?' thing and it's actually really annoying me that a few people disagree with my answer to that question (although th...
