i used to play this with people a lot. Give them 2 completely random ideas and make them quickly choose. No explanation. Just see what people would say if given the choice between caulking glue and wombats. It's great to see that others find the same sort of stuff amusing.

I'm sorry, you like Condorcet better.  Everyone likes Condorcet better.  If you didn't love Condorcet, you wouldn't be using me, now would you?

*click*

That's better.  Aren't you glad you gave in?  Now you can keep comparing your choices to the worlds', to see if you're alike.

I kinda like how you have to sometimes choose between a group of something vs. a specific something. I also kinda am amazed at just how long I play this game. If I were a lab rat, this is the thing they'd put in my cage to make me keep pressing the lever until I collapsed from lack of nutrition.

When I read 9/11 I thought not of the overthrow of Chile or the destruction of the Twin Towers, but the phone number. I guess I haven't been propagandized enough. Should I be googling "Bush" or "Pinochet" or "Truthers" more?

I did the first dozen or so thinking this was a FaceBook "What [blank] are you?" quiz that I could so clearly game into an awesome result, like the time I got Tyler Durden AND Kierkegaard in the same day. But then it occured to me that there were too many questions and too few typos, so I closed the browser. But I still feel awesome in my choice of sex over oranges.
