April Fools?!?

I just took an IQ test and it said my IQ is 138?!

This is the standard chart:


Personally, I think whoever created this IQ test must possess IQs listed down in the bottom of the chart, because those results can't be right, can they?!? Or maybe this was an April Fool's Day joke they forgot to delete??

I, supposedly, fall into the category of "Visionary Philosopher." This is what is says:

Visionary Philosopher
Your IQ Score is: 138
Your mind's strengths allow you to think ahead of the game — to imagine or anticipate what should come next in just about any situation. Because you're equally skilled in the numerical and verbal universes of the brain, you can draw from multiple sources of information to come up with great ideas. The timelessness of your vision and the balance between your various skills are what make you a Visionary Philosopher. In addition to your strengths in math and linguistics, you have a knack for matching and anticipating patterns. These skills and your uncanny ability to detect the underlying blueprint of most of life's situations add to your Visionary Philosopher mind. Two philosophers who share the same combination of skills you possess are Plato and Benedict Spinoza. Spinoza had insight into how things worked in the world. He could envision a future based on the patterns he saw in life, and used mathematical logic as a structure within which to present his philosophical arguments. With that base he was able to use logic to formulate his theories. Borrowing from his linguistic strengths he wrote eloquent texts and, therefore, was able to bring his philosophical ideas and structure to the rest of the world. His story exemplifies the talents that are present in the Visionary Philosopher intellectual type. Whatever you decide to do in life, you've got a powerful mix of skills and insight that can be applied in a wide variety of ways. You can expand your mind to understand a situation. Your strong balance of math and verbal skills will help you explain things to others. For example, if you were on an archaeological dig and discovered an object, you could probably use your deductive powers to figure out not only what the object was but also how it was used. Given your ability to put things together, you are more than capable of inventing a life plan that is in synch with your perspective on how things were, how they are, and how they might be one day.

Calling all travelers!!!

Recently, Nick and I have been tossing around ideas about where to go on our honeymoon. Our top places are Ireland and Greece, but we've decided they're going to have to wait a few years. (We're actually talking about maybe doing Ireland in 2010 after he runs the London marathon!) So we've shifted our thinking to places that are a little closer to home (translated: North America and, hopefully, more affordable). Right now, we're leaning towards an Alaskan cruise. What I'm wondering is... Have any of you been on a cruise through Alaska? (I know Jeff & Sarah have been there, but can't remember if it was on a cruise or not??) Can anyone who's been there give us any suggestions? Thoughts? Insight? Which ports of call should we make sure the cruise includes? Which could we pass on? What cruise lines are better than others? Should we do a 7 day cruise? Longer? Any advice/help would be appreciated! Thanks guys!!
