Geography Quiz

Taking a leaf out of James Highams book, here is a Sunday Kwiz. Only one question, don't want to make it too challenging

1. A constituent country of the United Kingdom comprising the northern part of the island of Great Britain as well as the Hebrides, Shetland Islands, and Orkney Islands. Inhabited by Picts in prehistoric times, the region was invaded but never conquered by the Romans and split into a variety of small kingdoms after the fifth century A.D. In the ninth century most of this countrywas unified into one kingdom, but conflicts with the English to the south soon erupted, leading to a series of bloody wars. When Mary Queen of Scots's son James VI succeeded to the English throne in 1603, the two kingdoms were united. It became a part of the kingdom of Great Britain by a parliamentary act of 1707. Edinburgh is the capital and Glasgow the largest city. Population: 5,090,000.

They have really crap weather, greasy food, drink too much, have some of the worst health statistics in the world, talk funny, drink too much, have a really crap cricket team and their football team were recently Unofficial World Football Champions.

The prize is a years supply of haggis, which for for most people, will not be too much.

Place your answers in a glass bottle and throw them in the ocean. A winner will be announced if I receive any entries.

Stressed?? Moi?? Sometimes!!

Your Stress Level is: 59%

You are somewhat prone to stress, especially when life gets hard. When things are good, you resist stressing over little problems. But when things are difficult, you tend to freak out and find it hard to calm down.

How Stressed Are You?

I am an intermittent stresser, usually when dealing with my kids in the morning and have spent too much time blogging or doing other things and have to get them moving quickly. I always underestimate time and this can be stressful for me and for them. I release stress by shouting, which makes the kids more stressed. Self perpetuating cycle, I know and I try not to. I think I sometimes stress at work, but work to control it. It shows up there as irritation and sarcasm rather than loud outbursts.

Me Want Cookies

I have been psychologically profiled as a blue hairy biscuit chomping puppet. I can go to work and feel good now.

Survey Says

Here is why are you Cookie Monster.

You are both sloppy. You might not always know where everything you need is. Perhaps you don't even care. Hopefully you don't shovel food into your mouth at least.

You both are partially concrete and abstract thinkers. Cookie Monster knows what he wants (cookies!) and he consistently works toward that goal. However he comes up with imaginative and unusual strategies in pursuit of that goal. You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course.

You are both somewhat introverted. Cookie Monster might not have the most sophisticated syntax, but he does have some friends. He is close with Ernie. You probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do like spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations.


The Your SESAME STREET Persona Test

Iconoclastic Personality Disorder?

Some of the quizzes that are on the internet are very odd. This pseudohistorical one takes the biscuit. Some of the questions are to say the least out there. I most nearly matched Friedrich Nietzsche. Apparently I am an egotistical maniac, and am so very iconoclastic that I am probably currently lost in a post-modern Jupiter, I mean jungle of self-definition.

Apparently I should not let this get me down though, someday, through a willful onslaught of reinterpretation of dated forms and ideas, I will strike on something that passes as remotely new, and people WILL be into it on the basis of how hip it is alone. Also, the average espresso drinker looks up to me (whatever that means).

What Pseudo Historical Figure Best Suits You?
created with QuizFarm.com


So I most closely match a wacky Philosopher, a famous Japanese Samurai and a famous mid 20th Century Dictator. Not sure about Hitler. I think my iconoclastic side (I mean I had to look it up), is limited to a healthy disrespect for organisations, including religious and political. Not sure that I would go to the lengths of overturning or destroying them. My passive aggressive side is limited to supporting the underdog, be it a telephone company or the English Cricket Team.
