This is a big step for us here at the ol’ raincoaster blog: an absolute, 100% original (well, repurposed) quiz, based on the questionnaire used to screen jurors in the selection for the famous Phil Spector murder trial.

Oh, they just had to get racism in there too, didn’t they?
Also: bonus headline on that page:
