Would help sort out the delusional and paranoid.

I did a personality assessment test for a job application, and I swear they were trying to weed out supervillains:

True/False:

People can often sense my power.
I have powerful enemies.
I know who my enemies are.
No one gets to take advantage of me more than once.
Sometimes I feel a kind of power around me.
People with my special talents don't need many friends.
Because of my unique abilities, I don't have many close friends.
If I was running the country, I would get things back on track.

Why would they *not* want to employ a supervillain? 

Their insurance doesn't cover the Incredible Hulk?

Doesn't seem odd to me.  Looks a lot like typical questions in the tests and surveys I take.

I like to ask candidates in interviews questions like "What do other drivers do on the road that pisses you off the most?". Usually people give me a strange look and it totally throws them off their game. Plus what they answer tells me things about their personality.

Oh, it's Friday the 13th. 


I was born on a Friday the 13th, so consider them as mini-birthdays.

I was born on August the 6th.  I consider them mini-birthdays.

I was born on August the 6th.  I consider them mini-birthdays.

But there are on average nearly two Friday the 13ths each year, so I'd willing do swap and only have them.

I was born on Sunday the 3rd. I consider them mini-birthdays.

But there are on average nearly two Sunday the 3rds each year*, so I'd willing do swap and only have them.

*I've actually no idea but there are two this year.

My boss said today that he likes watching people puke.

You missing the key point, that most the world regards Friday the 13th as being unlucky, whereas I know it's a very auspicious day as it ushered in both myself and Meri into this world.

There are 12(months)/7(days of week) on average a year. And you call yourself a statistician.

Obviously your point was to attention whore. That's always your point.

Okay wow my mom is a heartless cruel monster.  Yesterday she found that some birds had made a nest in a wreath she keeps on her front door.  There was a thunderstorm that was knocking it around, so she brought it inside and saw the little baby birds after they fell out on the floor in her entry way.  What does she do?  Put them back in the nest?  Call that wildlife rescue group that will come and get them? 

Oh hell no. 

She put them back outside on her front porch.  They were still there 20 minutes ago when I went over there to help her move some stepping stones around.  Three pathetic little pink dead bodies all sprawled out like they were trying to crawl somewhere.
