Well, they figured out why the window on the truck got busted. Apparently the jerk saw the EMPTY camcorder box.

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...
Traditional, Vibrant, and Tasteful
27 Islamic, 20 Impressionist, 13 Ukiyo-e, -21 Cubist, -31 Abstract and 6 Renaissance!
Islamic art is developed from many sources: Roman, Early Christian, and Byzantine styles were taken over in early Islamic architecture; the architecture and decorative art of pre-Islamic Persia was of paramount significance; Central Asian styles were brought in with various nomadic incursions; and Chinese influences . Islamic art uses many geometical floral or vegetable designs in a repetitive pattern known as arabesque. It is used to symbolize the transcendent, indivisible and infinite nature of Allah.
People that like Islamic art tend to be more traditional people that appreciate keeping patterns that they learned and experienced from their past. It is not to say that they are not innovative personalities, they just do not like to let go of their roots. They like to put new ideas into details and make certain that they will work before sharing them with others. Failure is not something they like to think about because they are more interested in being successful and appreciated for their intelligence. These people can also be or like elaborate things in their life as long as they are tasteful. They tend to prefer geometric patterns and vibrant colors.

Your result for The hardcore SCA Test...
The Lord or Lady
You scored 44% hardcore SCA!
You really enjoy the SCA and like to go to events when you can. However it doesn't take over you life or anything. You've probably got an AOA or will have one soon. Sometimes folks wonder where you've been when you make it back to a meeting or event.

Ah, let my first ever journal entry be truly geeky...
Your result for The Steampunk Archetype Test...
The Crazy Clockwork Tinkerer
9 Swashbuckling Engineer, 62 Crazy Clockwork Tinkerer, 27 Charming Noble, 17 Roguish Pirate, 8 Mechanical Fian and 50 Aetherist Bodger!
What is life? If something simulates life so well that no one knows that it is simulated and treats it like it were alive, would that be just like life? And if you were the one to create this simulated life, would that make you a god of some sort? Quite possibly, and that may be one of the many motivations behind your projects. Your clockwork mechanisms started off simple and cute, but as you attempted to replicate life in your machines, you created bigger mechanisms, golems of gears, that do your bidding. You are a genius, but a crazy genius.
