quiz: what are your odds of surviving a zombie apocalypse?

Posted on by

It’s best to know ahead of time and seek the proper training, don’t you think? One can’t be too careful when it comes to zombies.

Also, yes, I am being lazy today. After this past week, I have a gabillion things to catch up on so you shouldn’t expect anything original from me for a day or so. Quizzes, YouTubes, Random Thoughts. And Zombies. We’re all about the zombies lately.

quiz: what kind of backstabber are you?

Why, I don’t know what this quiz writer could have been thinking! Click on the demented quiz button to take it yourself. This is incredibly inaccurate!

And hey, have I mentioned you’re looking great lately? Have you lost weight, changed your hair? Whatever you’re doing, it’s working.

Canadian Flour Well, I knew this about Canadian beer, but never about Canadian flour.

Apparently, our four is so strong it comes with a warning. This brings up several questions:

  • Should pregnant women can our cookies?
  • Should those about to operate heavy machinery dump our dumplings?
  • Should drivers spurn our scones?
  • Should you be 18 or over and able to produce ID before enjoying the sublime pleasure of snarfing our cupcakes?

Or, much as our booze cautions apply largely to American tourists, do these warnings only apply to the British?

The scientific background, from inkycircus:

see the flour milled from wheat grown here in the UK is weak, meaning it is low in the protein gluten… all in all, lots of gluten makes for a good loaf. and the wheat comin’ outta the canadian breadbasket (our prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) is STRONG.

Strong like tractor!

reddit be hackt, yo!

reddit headerUnless the “IAUP VIOLATOR” title is one they wear proudly.

Test it yourself: go to reddit.com and look at the header image. Instead of its usual friendly, literate alien, you’ve got a couple of incestuous-looking aliens with some rather emphatic text above them. IAUP, by the way, stands for Internet Acceptable Use Policy. The hacked image is meant to imply that reddit does not abide by basic internet standards.

Is anyone taking credit for this yet? Leave your breadcrumbs in the comments section, please!

UPDATE: reddit be not hackt. Reddit be self-mocking. This is an improvement; now if we could only get them to stop lol-ing and get fixing things.
