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?

I think so too! A third alternative is to take modern antidepressants, those that are called SSRI:s (Prozac-type), they make people care less about others!
You know what the university thinks about you taking from the drugs cabinet.

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...

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.

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!

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
