>>                         It's  that time of year for us to take our annual senior citizen test. Exercise  of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older,  it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it!  Below is a very private way to gauge how your memory compares to the last  test. Some may think it is too easy but the ones with memory problems may  have difficulty. Take  the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not. The  spaces below are so you don't see the answers until you've made your  answer. OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

>> Answer:  Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next  question. Your  brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content  yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Auto  World.    However,  if you said 'water', proceed to question 3.

Me too !

The silk one programs you with a like sounding word to milk, and cows do drink milk as young. You could argue that's a calf but I don't care.
