Congrats! Not a bad score at all. 
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Thanks!
I guess everything above 700 points is just over-achieving

Actually there was a time when I felt like I had studied to much when I scored over 55 (out of 100, the minimum to pass for most exams over here).
Lucky for me my grades didn't get much higher than that
That was at school. Three years ago. I'm a changed man...

Which OU courses have you signed up for? (I did a few of their courses myself). I was going to try for a MS C# exam once, but the format and types of question they asked looked so boring that I couldn't motivate myself to bother (good qualification to have though). At least the OU get you writing code in the exam which is much better in my opinion. I suspect things may have improved on MS exams now though, I am going back a bit.

I did a Microsoft C# exam last month, but it was almost all multiple choice. The ones that aren't require you to choose some code pieces and put those pieces in the correct order or in the right spot.
The advantage MS certification has above OU courses is that the OU is pretty all-round, while MS certification really can get you going with some specific libraries.
If you have a couple of years of experience in a MS field you could simply try to get certified without too much study.
Right now I have OU courses on web development (client side), communication mechanisms and object oriented analysis and design.

My problem was that the course provider switched from C++ to C# part-way through the course as MS withdrew their C++ exam (to push out C# which was new then). Not only did this add a year to my preparation, but I was expecting a C# coding exam and instead would have got what you said - a quiz on some of the (then key, now largely obsolete) C# class libraries. Also, there was no application to Web development, which I think was the wrong approach to C#. Lots of MCQs asking about specific classes and functions and what they did - not what I wanted for my first professional course. All in all I felt a bit miffed and so never took the exam. Having done lots of maths courses with the OU (to extend my degrees) I then did one of their Java courses. This was a very good course, albeit quite introductory. Now I find the OU too expensive, so I have done no more with them either! I simply use whatever meets my needs these days, which is actually mostly JS, HTML 5 and PHP, occasionally Java, C++ and C#, and the odd specialist scripting language. Not sure where to go next - there are too many technologies to chose from and I still have not found one I want to dedicate myself to.

Depends on how bad the munchies are, or if there is beer in the fridge.

I have multiple computers running at full load running distributed computing projects, and except for mid summer they're probably the largest consumer on my power bill. 
If I did what they told me to do instead of what they meant, I suspect words like "fired", "don't ask us for a reference", and possibly "charges will be filed" would be used. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
