No, what?

Something about sticking, or so I hear.

I had the same result most others did.

Concerning conspiracy theories, I love em'. Few things are more interesting than reading a good conspiracy theory. I don't believe most of them but they are still interesting to read.

One of my favorites is the "Paul is dead" one about how fans thought Paul McCartney died in a car accident and he was replaced by a lookalike and the rest of the band left clues to tell the fans. :D

Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it.

Just thought that needed to go somewhere.

Here is an article that supposedly describes a way to check if the NSA is monitoring your internet traffic (by their criteria, the answer is no for me):
http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2006/0 ... id=1510938

(by the way, their allegation that any AT&T router could compromise your privacy may or may not be true, but AT&T owns too much Internet infrastructure to reasonably avoid them).

Well, I already know my net access is monitored - by the college.

The government would be WAY less strict than the college is on these things, so I've nothing to worry about.

Not from the government anyways.......

There is a car that runs on water: it's called a boat.

Hmm lets do the quiz:

25 - 50,

Hmm I think they would need to have a helluva lot more questions on a variety of topics to be able to make such confident sweeping statements.

Seems to be a lot of old bollocks really. (The quiz that is.)

:D

26-50

A fairly dubious test for all the reasons pointed out by everyone else.

*Hijack moment*

Ber, I got your xmas message, did you get mine? When you are back in the UK and feeling up to it, lets hook up. :)

:D The mouseover text says: I believe the truth always lies halfway between the most extreme claims.

But what about the aliens? :( They never get credit for doing things anymore.

Hey, I finally took that quiz and I got 51-75, too! :P I kept getting confused as to which side meant agree or disagree, though, and had to go over the quiz several times switching things back and forth. I think my blood sugar is low. Or maybe aliens are messing with my mind.... ;)

The survey is bogus.

No I don't. Just because a web survey says I do doesn't make it true. :P

It's almost like there's a group of people quietly manipulating web surveys to make belief in conspiracy theories appear more mainstream than it actually is.
