I took Buzzfeed’s quiz, Which Decade Do You Actually Belong In? My guess before taking the quiz is that it would come out that I belonged in the 1960’s or 70’s. I was a bit surprised that “my decade” turned out to be the 1950’s.
Looking at the description though it does make sense. I do long for a simpler time when people were polite and followed the rules.

Seems I’d be at home in King’s Landing from Game of Thrones. Well, I do long for a simpler place and time. I could do without the betrayal, intrigue, incest and murder though.

When I took Buzzfeed’s Which Pixar Movie are You? I got Toy Story. It went on to say…

Did you notice the title on the movie poster above?
You were probably expecting to see Pretty Woman the title the movie was released as. Did you know that the movie was originally titled $3,000? It was because the was the price for a night with Julia Roberts’ character.
Well, she was a high-priced hooker, you know.
Studio execs didn’t think that their movie if titled $3,000 set the tone of the romantic comedy that they wanted to sell. So the title changed to Pretty Woman.

I took a 12 question survey by Time Magazine that predicted my politics. I came out as 85% Conservative and 15% Liberal.
The 85% Conservative rating surprised me. I know it will shock my buddy, John Beatty who thinks I’m a full blown liberal. I would have guessed that I’d be rated about 50-50 because that’s how this types of surveys usually score me.
What do you know? I’m a conservative. Don’t argue with me about it. Conservatives are always right.
According to Professor Kevin Dutton…
Psychopathy is a condition that causes people to display anti-social behaviour, lack of empathy and remorse, and fearless dominance. Everyone has these characteristics to some degree – take the test and find out where you sit on the spectrum.

If you’d like to find out where you fall on the psychopathic spectrum, you can here.
We’re about six hours out from the new year. I hope that 2013 was good for you and yours and that 2014 will be even better.

What you’re looking at [if you’re looking at the photo above] is what scientists believe to be is the only meteorite from Mercury on our planet.
How can they tell? The rock’s magnetism matches that of Mercury perfectly. It also has high amounts of magnesium and chromium but a low amount of iron, which is apparently what scientists would expect from a chip off of Mercury.
Don’t you love stuff like this?
