With all those "personality" tests that are around, I'm sure we can find a "How gnomish are you?" on the web somewhere. You and Dotticus would probably be top scoreres.
After the sledgehammer, the electro therapy and the experimental drugs I doubt your knife is fine enough.
Oh, I'm sure we can make nice slices with a laser, then we just put it in the electron microscope. The colours are very nice, you know, perhaps you'd like a slice in glass and frame to hang in your living room?

Don't they make people more violent as well?

In CE's case - most definitely.
Miau
We should do this again CE but for now im going to run away before I get into too much trouble.
you can have a go at dottie if you like.
I didn't really bounce Eeyore. I had a cough, and I happened to be behind Eeyore, and I said "Grrrr-oppp-ptschschschz."
When it comes to personality tests like this one, I have this image of Sigmund Freud flitting about a forest, wand in hand, giggling in a Viennese accent...
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.

No, but they lower the impulse control, especially the first 2-3 weeks, so if you have violent impulses, it may be more difficult to resist them while on SSRI:s. The less caring about other people is part of the general "flattening" of all emotions and engagement - most people on SSRI describes life as more grey and dull, but this may still be better than being very depressed.
@Fable: If Freud had taken the test, I am sure he would come out as the same as me, Ode and Frogus, but in his case, it would have been correct!

That explains it then.

What I reacted most against was the strong and athletic aspect though.
LMAO
I know what you mean about the strong and atheletic part... I am in reasonably good shape and enjoy hiking etc. but when it comes to physical strength......lol! I am hopeless

Hrmm... reasonable good shape... Does 'cant run more than a few meters before doubling over in chest pain' count as reasonable good shape? Perhaps I should take some measures to avoid having a heart attack when i reach 30 or so.
While others climb the mountains High, beneath the tree I love to lie
And watch the snails go whizzing by, It's foolish but it's fun

Hmmm....well maybe your strengths lie in other areas.....

I still think you are considerbly more athletic than Dottsky, DW
@Dottium: You walk a lot, in fairly fast pace, so unfortunately I don't think we will get rid of you before you are 30!
lol! I don't know if I'd call it athletic, but I can generally make it to the top of a hill without gasping Although I hate to think of what might happen if I attempted this at a jog !
Hmmmm...... all this talk of sneak attacks and bumping people off.... are you sure you haven't changed professions recently....?

Hill walking keeps people in good shape, it is actually excellent exercise I once met this guy who used to run up and down hills I don't think I could have done that even in my most athletic days, I simply never had the technique to run long distance (yes, it is all about technique my friend the maraton running physiotherapist tells me)
I haven't changed profession, merely started a little side career as a sniper
