Hey, how did they know I was short!!!!




You're the Short Line!

Remarkably small and somewhat insignificant, you have a very
common name. Despite these drawbacks, almost everyone thinks you're worth
investing in. Some would consider it to be quite a gamble, but most think
that you're a safe bet. You find it hard to stay at either houses or hotels.
Math teachers would argue that, technically, you are a paradox.

Okay... Not the answer I expected.




You're Wisconsin!

You are perhaps the cheesiest person alive. You like '80's music, posing
for photographs, fastballs, cartoon cheetahs, and real mice. You want to have a cow,
man. You have been known to do the Forrest Gump shrimp routine with the word "cheese"
replacing "shrimp". Once in a while, beer will supplement your diet of unending cheese.
Deep down, though, you'd prefer to drink fermented cheese.

Book Quiz

Okay, below is what book I am - so what are you? It's all in the name of procrastinatiing FUN!!!




You're The Mists of Avalon!

by Marion Zimmer Bradley

You're obsessed with Camelot in all its forms, from Arthurian legend
to the Kennedy administration. Your favorite movie from childhood was "The Sword in
the Stone". But more than tales of wizardry and Cuban missiles, you've focused on
women. You know that they truly hold all the power. You always wished you could meet
Jackie Kennedy.

Not as much fun...




You're Case Western Reserve University!

While you sound to most like you're just playing a backup
role, you'd like to believe that this is not the case. It's hard for a lot
of folks to take you seriously, but you make an effort to ignore them and
enjoy your surroundings. You can rock, you can roll, you can even cut things
in half. In the end, you wander back to parties with more rock and roll.
Your house would be really pretty if you didn't keep cluttering it up with
modern art.

I'm Bangladeshi, What about You?




You're Bangladesh!

Everyone else keeps eating your food, and
as a result it seems like you're starving all the time.  Your life is just flooded
with problems, and you're pretty sure that everything would be easier if half the
people you knew just went away.  Unfortunately, they're hungry too, so they
might go away in a way you don't want.  George Harrison's music becoming
wildly popular may be your only hope, but even he's gone away now.

I'm Prehistoric, What about you?




You're a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

You can't stop talking about the "good old days" of the past. While
you remember everything being so much better and more glorious back then, you've
got to realize that times have changed! It's time to move on, time to bring in
the new technology and advancements! Still, there is some charm to your olden
out-dated ways. Children seem to love you, for example, as do some historians and
scientists. And you should really eat something... your bones are starting to
show.

I am also...




You're Easter Island!

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. So, since you
were so lonely, you decided to make up a bunch of friends to entertain yourself.
Rather than being classic imaginary friends, they had some real strength and
substance to them, and have shown themselves to stand the test of time. There has
been much discussion of your name, but you generally dislike its Christian
implications. You wish you didn't feel quite so chilly. But you would not feel so
all alone; everybody must get stones.
