Psych test - 79%
Italian Midterm - 95%
Do a little dance...
Anyway...

So on this interesting politics quiz, I rank somewhere between Ken Livingstone and Simon Hughes (what this means in Canadian political terms, I don't know. Hell, I don't know what it means in BRITISH political terms). Closer to Libertarian on the y-axis of Authoritarian/Libertarian, and slightly less than halfway left from center on the x-axis of left and right.

I've been remiss in posting Burris quotes again. Ummm... I may have posted some of them before... if so... there ARE new ones.
[talking about multiple intelligences] [drops chalk] "One of them has to do with motor skills... I am obviously lacking there."
"...then there's kinesthetic - those of you learning by interprative dance probably fit here."
"And an athletic scholarship ISN'T a contradiction to Gardner!"
[to demonstrate cultural bias in IQ tests, he gives us 7 questions that are 'historically significant' in black culture] "Yeah, I got 2 out of 7, and I have a PhD. So I'm retarded too. This comes as no surprise to me."
"No, intelligence tests aren't graded in Satanic rituals..."
[not Dr. Burris, but funny] "Carrie, stop teasing the RPG drone and come eat."
[back to Burris]
[in response to a question] "What can I make up that's short and convincing..."
[talking about feeling states] "Virginia is for lovers, so it must be a Feeling State!"
"Affect. Not Affleck, affect."
[on how people motivate themselves for exams] "You sharpen your #2 pencils, you clear your mind... you vomit..."
[Grover voice, on goals] "Now I am near! Now I am far! Now I am in-between!"
"Sea squirts will move away from electric currents in their petri dish. Of course, there's always the one moving toward the current, the one wearing the studded black leather collar..."
[on why people are more likely to be helpful when given cookies] "I mean, it takes a really concrete thinker to say, 'hey! I got a free cookie! I bet when I go outside, the free cookie people will be there and give me more cookies! I'll be heaping with cookies!"
"If someone is standing on your foot and you're in a good mood, you're more likely to say [affects Texan accent] 'pardner, you're kind of invadin' mah personal space, can ya back up?' ...or push them off or pull out a machete or whatever."
[on the test, there were questions about a dog named Prozac] "Smart-assed psychologist, naming a dog after a drug..."
[imitating people who feel yearning] "Alas, alack, it could be wonderful, but I am defective, alas, alas, woe."
[Cartman voice] "I studied hard, you' just an ass, write hard test..."
[imitating people who feel pride; he's doing a little dance as he writes 'Pride' on the overhead] "Uh-huh, uh-huh, I rock, who da man, I rock, you suck, go me..."
