At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The quiz is very basic. The sad thing is, based on the immediate comparison results, only 7% of respondents answered all 13 correctly.



Yes, but have you seen the cool new IPhone app? It rates your sexual performance!

Only 47% knew that an electron is smaller than an atom.
Only 20% knew that nitrogen is the largest atmosphere consituent.

What's worse is that the questions are all true/false or multiple choice.

409 of the 1006 are reported to be college graduates. Ugh!
And people are making shit up to bitch about the proposed Common Core standards.

Okay, I'll make the admission.

12/13. I clicked the wrong answer on the chemical reaction question.

13/13.

I absolutely loved the antibiotics question. One of the choices was 'People will become addicted to antibiotics.' I got a metal pic of a penicillin junkie robbing a store, and then rushing off to find his dealer....

13/13 though I did pause to think for a second.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

Oh Carp.
I knew atoms are bigger. I just picked the wrong button.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
