Apt as ever

Fifty years ago, the Authoritarian Personality studies attempted to "construct an instrument that would yield an estimate of fascist receptivity at the personality level."
This online, interactive F Scale presents that instrument in its final form.

Your F Score is: 2.2666666666666666
You are a liberal airhead.
I'm sure there's a positive correlation between this F Score and neo-conservatism.

Synchronicity

In The Castle last night:

Cheesy had a rather strong Thai Curry and was complaining about just how much it hurt. Two things then happened simultaneously:
  1. Cheesy went, nay ran, to the bathroom
  2. Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire started playing on the music system

Amid the laughter I was reminded of Brendan Grace's version:
Curry is a wonderful thing,
It makes the hind parts sting...

Damned lies

I'm a statistics whore:

Collaborative Playlist

The albums you should have listened to before you die

...copy the list on to your blog, put in bold the ones you have listened to (completely from begining to end) and then add three more albums that you think people should have heard before they turn into their parents - remember, it isn't necessarily your most favourite albums but the ones you think people should listen to... and when we say listen we mean from track one through to the end...
