    I blindly ticked off 'Unabomber' at all 12 questions, i.e. without looking at the texts. My score is 50%.

    I'm impressed that you managed to check the boxes at all.

    33%.

    Thought that the more boring quotes would be Gore, since well ... Gore is boring. But, I guess that didn't work out, since they were all boring.

    I hadn't read either; and I had to check up Wikipedia who the Unabomber was before I took the quiz.

    Sorry for being too succinct, Sasaki Kojiro. I see how my reply could be construed as rude.

    My 50% score merely means that the test is fair. It does not mean that I'm uninterested, unappreciative or disrespectful.

    Having read both texts in the past it does not surprise me at all that the two gentlemen may be confused. If anything other peoples' test scores seem to confirm that this is the case. My own test score wouldn't add anything to the equation.

    @ Adrian & Sasaki - I didn't think either of your responses were rude, I thought they were meant in good humor.

    I'll apologize to Sasaki Kojiro if and when I want to, you young whackersnapper.
