I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

3/10, and only one wasn't a wild guess.

Also 3/10

Everything I know about the Magna Carta I owe to Malthus & a subway conversation.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

7/10 though about half of those were gut instinct guesses.

5/10.

I was good on the 12th and 13th Centuries but crap on everything else. :lol:

2/10, and 1 of them I knew for certain, and the other I was mostly sure.

Which means I'm an incredibly bad guesser.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

5/10, and an excellent example of the kind of quiz deigned to be easily graded without measuring anything significant whatever.  A score on this quiz says nothing about anyone's understanding of the structure or significance of the Magna Carta.  The best question was the one that asked which obscure reference was "famous."

Me too.

And only fussy and snooty tribe like the English would note the difference between signing a document and sealing a document.  Big fucking deal.  Surprised there wasn't a 3rd question for delivery.

Someone is grouchy about failing a test. :lol:
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

6/10. I guessed on most of 'em. I mean, who knows off the top how many copies survived?  :lol:

That was perhaps the only question I did in fact know the answer to. :lol:
