The Deets

According to CNN’s hobby quiz, I’m into:

DISCOVERY

Life is a journey, and you take the time to smell every single rose along the way. Your brain is a sponge, soaking up every detail of life around you, and you constantly look inward to figure out the ties that bind you to the universe. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it’s what makes you tick. You might like hobbies like participating in archaeological digs, botany, assembling models, playing the stock market, meditation or even parapsychology.

I agree with the description, but I have no interest in the suggested hobbies.

I scored 6 out of 20 on this senses quiz, which was kind of bad considering that I KNEW the tricks being played in some of the illusions but still couldn’t answer them correctly. Approximately the first half is optical and the rest focuses on other senses.

Oh crap, does this mean I’m going to hell?

Why do I feel like I outscored many bible beaters?

I was 30 points behind the Atheist, PZ Meyers, although he admits to benefiting from his misspent youth.

The Next Hurrah has posted a quiz of questions lawmakers - in this case holding federal office - should be able to answer correctly to be fit for the job. I answered 21/25 correctly. One was missed by reading to quickly. The other three were ranges I wasn’t familiar enough with: the benefits of social security for seniors, S&P performance over Bush’s time in office, and the popularity of unions among non-union members.

Give it a try. How did you do?

How would your congressperson do? I have a feeling Keith Ellison (MN CD-5) wouldn’t have any problem with this quiz. Can you say the same about your rep?
