It's time now to test your observational skills. In the photos below decide which ones are of animals, which ones are of vegetables, and which ones are of Suicide Girls. Best of luck!

Subject #1: Is it an animal, a vegetable, or a Suicide Girl?

Highlight with your mouse (left click and drag after colon) for the answer: "Vegetable! It's a ficus tree! Ficus trees are common household plants. The names 'ficus' is from Latin, meaning 'fig-like fruits.'"

Subject #2: animal, vegetable, or Suicide Girl?

Highlight with your mouse for the answer: "Animal! It's an otter! Otters are members of the Mustelid family which includes badgers, polecats, martens, weasels, stoats and mink. There are 13 known species of otter in the world."

Subject #3: animal, vegetable, or Suicide Girl?

Highlight with your mouse for the answer: "Suicide Girl! Her name is Lacey and she's into pirates, puppies, and applied linguistic semiotics."

Subject #4: animal, vegetable, or Suicide Girl?

Highlight with your mouse for the answer: "Vegetable! It's seaweed! I'm not sure what kind of seaweed, but it's seaweed. I'm sure of it. Don't bother protesting if you guessed wrong. I will find out just what kind of seaweed it is if you really want me to. Man, are you a sore loser or what?"

Subject #5: animal, vegetable, or Suicide Girl?

Highlight with your mouse for the answer: "Suicide Girl! It's Kira! This was a toughie, I know. Many people mistake her for an Elderberry bush. But she's not an Elderberry bush, she's a Suicide Girl. Kira has multiple piercings and tattoos; she can't live without her smokes, vodka, sex, lipstick, and boots; and her favorite TV show is Dharma and Greg."

Subject #6: animal, vegetable, or Suicide Girl?

Highlight with your mouse for the answer: "Animal! It's Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz! Although he is into leather and vampire movies I'm pretty sure he is not a Suicide Girl. But if you're going to get all huffy on me I'll give you a point if you answered 'Suicide Girl.' Satisfied? Jeeze. Way to ruin my quiz. Thanks a lot."

SCORING:
All 6 Correct: "Wow! You really know your animals, vegetables and Suicide Girls!"

3-5 Correct: Not bad. Try harder next time.

0-2 Correct: Ouch. Your animal, vegetable and Suicide Girl observatonal skills need a lot of work. Remind me to never to ask you to water my plants or feed my cat. Thanks.

Or maybe you are not so awesome. What do those of us with Macs and no left click button do? Huh? Forgot about us, did you?
