2007 in Review; The Quiz

chrys at Wordpark sent me this link. It is to 2007 News in Review Trivia Quiz. My score was dismal. (I admit that sports and geography were my weaknesses). See how well you do.

Last "Who Are You" Quiz ('Till the Next One)

Well I am not a blond but I do get into bleach. Unfortunately I am unable to watch or TiVo it for the next couple weeks. So to combat my withdrawal I thought I would see which of the thirteen squad captains I was most like. Hmmm, 13 captains, tomorrows Thursday... Anyway I scored the same captain twice. The rest of the choices varied wildly after that. So I threw in the Lieutenant quiz too.

Kinda Like eHarmony for Politics

Guess who my Candidate Match for 2008 is? According to The Candidate Calculator, it is none other than




Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R)
90.74% match

They matched us up on 29 dimensions... I mean issues. Tom is actually tied with Fred Thompson at 90.74%. Followed by Mitt Romney and Sam Brownback. Since Tom and Fred are tied I would probably vote for Tom. Why? Because Fred has called me every single day since he announced he was running. Really.

My guess is he is looking for money. Sorry Fred but I don't have any. But I wish I had a dollar for everytime he and Newt Gingrich have called me. I wonder if Tom will start calling me.

Bored. Quizzes. You Get the Picture.

The Movie Of Your Life Is A Black Comedy

In your life, things are so twisted that you just have to laugh. You may end up insane, but you'll have fun on the way to the asylum. Your best movie matches: Being John Malkovich, The Royal Tenenbaums, American Psycho

If Your Life Was a Movie, What Genre Would It Be?

Well if I were going to be a comedy I guess I should be a black one. But is that PC?

You Are Incredibly Logical

Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic You think rationally, clearly, and quickly. A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer!

How Logical Are You?

Me logical? Well Duh! I write computer programs for a living. If you don't think logically in my field you spend a lot of time debugging code. (Even that is hard if you don't think logically).

Its Monday, I'm Bored, Here Are Some Quizzes

Well I got bored while working to fulfill a New Years Resolution about new carpet this morning. They came to measure the living room and I decided to take some quizzes to kill time.

Your Vocabulary Score: A-

Congratulations on your multifarious vocabulary! You must be quite an erudite person.

How's Your Vocabulary?

I think there is something wrong with this quiz. I can't seem to score just an "A". Always an "A-"

You Passed 8th Grade Geography

Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!

Could You Pass 8th Grade Geography?

Geography was always a favorite of mine. This was easy because of the "the longest this, the biggest that" type questions. Those answers rarely change. Now ask me to name all the countries that were once part of the Soviet Union and I'd be in trouble. I'm just glad I'm smarter than an 8th Grader which by default makes me smarter than a 5th grader!

But what does the recurring dream about milk white feet with cherry red nails wearing black fishnet stockings crammed into black stiletto heels mean?

You are 100% Libra

How Libra Are You?

I am a Libra and I had fun with this. I don't believe in astrology so I decided to see if I could figure out what the quiz would think is 100% Libra. It was easier than I thought. Just so you know, according to the quiz I am only 53% Libra.

Bible Quiz

I like my test score here. But I didn't feel as if it were a true test of Bible knowledge. ANyone who has taken multiple guess tests before and has an ounce of Bible knowledge would do well. Not perfect like me but well.

Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!

What Faith Are You Quiz

I took another religion quiz. The results were predictable although I don’t understand how I wind up with so much Quaker and seventh day Adventist. I really don’t know why Islam and Orthodox Judaism are the same percentage (I think the only reason Islam is on there at all is because of PC-ism).  I am a self proclaimed conservative Fundamental Baptist (which contrary to what many believe is NOT protestant).  What are you and what does the quiz say you are?

1.	Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2.	Orthodox Quaker (81%)
3.	Seventh Day Adventist (79%)
4.	Eastern Orthodox (78%)
5.	Roman Catholic (78%)
6.	Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (60%)
7.	Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (59%)
8.	Islam (53%)
9.	Orthodox Judaism (53%)
10.	Jehovah's Witness (46%)
11.	Hinduism (37%)
12.	Bahá'í Faith (35%)
13.	Liberal Quakers (32%)
14.	Sikhism (30%)
15.	Reform Judaism (28%)
16.	Unitarian Universalism (27%)
17.	Jainism (26%)
18.	Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (26%)

26.	Taoism (13%)
27.	Secular Humanism (11%)

 

Can Such a Thing Even Be?

I love quizzes. Especially the ones that report interesting findings.


Wow! A Master of seduction and morality. I think I will rename my blog to Gigolo Saint. Sounds cool. It rolls off the tongue way to easily. I am both frightened and intrigued by this new view into the Dane Bramage psyche. Watch out world! The Gigolo Saint is on the loose.

Okay so I adopted a “Test Attitude” and steered towards this result.  It worked and I ain’t mad.


You are WOLFWOOD - You're a priest that kills
people. You don't necessarily like it, but
you do it when you think it's a valid option.
Your manner is easygoing, your shades are
cool, and your cross is actually a big-ass
gun. It's guys like you that give me a
little bit of faith in religion.

Multitasking: Memes, Mini-rants, Musical Quizzes, and Marauding Marsupialism

Lyn has tagged me with the My iPod Playlist - 7 Song Meme. I seem to recall being tagged with something similar last year. But so as not to completely blow him off I have decided to modify it somewhat and allow you, my faithful reader, to participate. To begin with, I don’t own an iPod but I do have 2 laptops with CD/DVD players in them which happen to have musical CDs in them right now. I will list 7 of the tracks from each and you guess who the artist is.  

First is a Grammy award winner. The CD is a “Greatest Hits” collection. The tracks:

• Trickle Trickle


• Gloria


• Tuxedo Junction


• Four Brothers


• Spice of Life


• Candy


• Java Jive

Who is the artist(s)?  The second CD you have to give me the name of the group, the name of the CD and year it was published.  As a hint I will tell you that this CD has a track that has the same title as a track from the first CD, but I didn’t put it on either list.  The tracks:

• A Remark You Made


• Palladium


• Juggler


• Teen Town


• Harlequin


• Rumba Mama


• Havona

As for 7 other people I want to tag, nah I’ll pass.  Memes can be fun but I really don’t like the implication that I “must” pass it on like some kind of chain letter. This by the way, is a segue into my mini-rant.  I like to think of myself as spiritual but one of my pet peeves is receiving an email with an uplifting and inspirational story or poem.  These missives are not offensive in themselves but they usually conclude with something moronic like “IF YOU LOVE JESUS, Pass this on to 10 (or 20, or 50 etc...) of your closest friends and the Lord WILL BLESS YOU.”  That gets my dander up. This idiot (and it usually isn’t the person who like a mindless automaton, forwarded the email to me) has taken it upon himself/herself to speak for God. They have reduced the Almighty of some sort of blessing vending machine where you insert some email addresses in the slot and out pops a blessing. Add to that the cheap shot attempt at a guilt trip by insisting that you don’t love Jesus if you don’t pass it on.  If the authors were truly spiritual they would realize that if anyone does what they asked and doesn’t receive a blessing, they just made God out to be a liar.  

I NEVER forward these types of emails just on that principle alone. If I come across something inspirational and uplifting that I think someone or someones would like or benefit from, I send it to them. BUT I never insist that they have to pass it on and I certainly never promise them something from God if they do.

Lastly I have devolved. I am no longer a Large Mammal, I am a Marauding Marsupial. I doubt that I will ever return to insignificant Microbe status but here’s hoping that I have backslidden as far as I’m going to.  Hey do you think the term backsliding will catch on in the ecosystem? It’s such a spiritual term to apply to an evolutionary process.

Hey Moe! I'm Just a Normal Kinda Guy/Computer God

I found this quiz thanks to fellow NE Ohio blogger at The Geek Revolution:
(I hate the formating but don't want to play with it right now.)

Joe Normal 39 % Nerd, 17% Geek, 21% Dork

For The Record: A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions. You scored less than half in all three, earning you the title of: Joe Normal. This is not to say that you don't have some Nerd, Geek or Dork inside of you--we all do, and you can see the percentages you have right above. This is just to say that none of those qualities stand out so much as to define you. Sure, you enjoy an episode of Star Trek now and again, and yeah, you kinda enjoyed a few classes back in the day. And, once in a while, you stumble while walking down the street even though there was nothing there to cause you to trip. But, for the most part, you look and act fairly typically, and aren't much of an outcast. I'd say there's a fair chance someone asked you to take this test. In any event, fairly normal. Congratulations! If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also, you might want to check out some of my other tests if you're interested in either of the following: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Professional Wrestling Love & Sexuality Thanks Again! -- THE NERD? GEEK? OR DORK? TEST

Not a Hippie

I found this over at Moe's. I took it and I was very pleased.

I am 1% Hippie.

What? Am I a Republican? Why did I even bother taken this test?! I guess I’ll back to my George W. Bush fan club and tell them I just wasted 10 minutes of my life. At least I don’t stink, man.

Take the

@ FualiDotCom

Moe however is a smelly tie-die wearing, flower loving VW driving, bona fide HIPPIE! (Actually he only scored 12% but that is way too much hippie for my tastes) Hey Moe what were you doing in the sixties?! What do you mean you weren't born yet! Sheesh.

What military aircraft are you? F-15 Eagle You are an F-15. Your record in combat is spotless; you've never been defeated. You possess good looks, but are not flashy about it. You prefer to let your reputation do the talking. You are fast, agile, and loud, but reaching the end of your stardom.

Moe likes quizzes and I like military aircraft. I was hoping to be a bomber, you know the "Nuke 'em 'till they glow then shoot them in the dark" type. But I was pleasantly surprised to find I'm an F-15. I am pretty much all the things listed but it saddens me that I am reaching the end of my stardom. Stupid obsolescence.

I'm a Conservative! Yeah Baby!

Thanks to Moe for the quiz, although I was not impressed by his liberal leanings! I may have to reconsider my association with him! See a REAL conservative score!
