What Do You Know About Science?

Take this fast 12 question multiple choice test.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3229935/How-know-science-interactive-test-researchers-used-average-American-gets-C-grade.html

Post your results.  Here’s mine.  I missed the “magnifying glass” question.

“You answered 11 of 12 questions correctly.  You scored better than 82% of the public, below 6% and the same as 12%.”

Please state if you are a 9-11 Truther. It is my belief that Truthers are amongst the dumbest people on the planet.  The test results might help answer that question.

Also, if you are a Truther, and if you claim 100%, tell us whether or not you’re lying. Again.

I'm right, you're wrong. Deal with it.

OTC, like some of the tests we take at work, you can take this test over again, I’m sure you will do better the third or 4th time. Fuck tests that are designed to mess with your self esteem.

Dr Pangloss said, If somebody makes me take a test I am not in favor of, I will fuck it up.

Don’t let the bastards get you hating yourself.

That’s your useful idiot mass. Different measurement.

Thanks for this Stuck! I wavered on one, almost decided to Google it, decided to live or die by my own sword and didn’t, and then got 12/12.

I don’t know if I’m a “truther,” I do know I don’t believe any part of the official narrative about that, or much/anything else.

Hugs.

@Admin – I don’t stick my dick in crazy, I respectfully decline and withdraw my score from the running.

Stucky,

12 of 12, 8th grade level quiz, and the question about sound waves was a little off because “height” doesn’t really describe the amplitude of a compression wave. Was majoring in Theoretical Physics, but lost interest. Card-carrying Trufer.

Love me some Feynman

11/12

Truth – it’s stranger than fiction – and the official version is pure fiction.

12/12. Won’t lie, tho-I had to think a bit on the sound question. The rest were laughably easy in most respects.
And come on with the magnifying glass one-how could you vaporize ants if it didn’t concentrate the beam of light?

Are you guys kidding? That fucking horse article put TBP on the map! Talk about a No Spin Zone! If you want mindless boring pablum, CNN and FOX are waiting for you. The horse whisperer? TBP.

Anyone ever listen to Art Bell when he was on? There aren’t many people who can listen to something like that and be totally nonjudgmental. The other What’s It Like articles are kind of fun, too. Like the “What’s It Like To Stink” one. http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2014/10/what-its-like-to-have-extremely-awful-body-odor.html At the very least, you can thank God your problems are primarily death and taxes.

Thanks for the quiz, 11 out of 12, missed #11. Assign whatever label justify the rants as I choose the right to question, explore, and decide for myself.

TPC says: 12/12 …..do we get a BJ for a high score?

If so, Westy has got everybody beat anyway. Any volunteers? Let’s see, who’s got the lowest score?

Don’t complain, sometimes I gross myself out too. Although Hillary riding topless wasn’t so bad.

That What’s It Like series is really wild. Stucky, you totally missed the What’s It Like To Fuck Your Dad one. Some chick is engaged to marry her own father. It’s like Fight Club when they find all those articles written from the perspective of body parts. “I’m Jack’s Liver.”

My knowledge of science……………

Never fly into Chicago when Da Berz are at home.

Never drive from Chicago to Madison WI. Fucking road maintenance and detours all over.

Never stay in Madison when the Badgers are at home.

Never try to tour Madison on Sunday when some fricking Iron Man Triathalon is underway. Who knew?

Talk about rolling snake eyes at the beginning of this vacation from my vacation.
