People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

For some reason, on some of the questions the site seemed to hang up for about 5 seconds after I answered (before it told me whether I was correct and went on to the next question). Or maybe it was my computer rather than the Slate site.

I don't really care all that much for the speed component of that quiz - it pressures me to rush and get things wrong that I would have puzzeled out if I'd spent a few more seconds.
So, no worries - you almost got a perfect score!

Re: Another Weekly Quiz
You were faster at being pathetic, Meade.
I didn't hear a lot of news last week, but obviously the questions were quirky given the commonality of the low correct score.

Re: Another Weekly Quiz
But if we both took 1 min 29 seconds, how can I have been any faster than LJ? (He remains patheticer).
