Hmm, who knew?

I am: Hal Clement (Harry C. Stubbs) A quiet and underrated master of “hard science” fiction who, among other things, foresaw integrated circuits back in the 1940s.

I normally hate those stupid little quizzes you see littering all of the “social” networking sites like (sit on) MySpace, but this one sounded slightly interesting so I decided to try it.

My results:

Of course, they’ve completely left out “hillbilly”, “hip-hop”, and “1337″…and I won’t even bother mentioning some of the other asinine languages that pass for English these days, many of which are perpetrated by the commercial industry by continuing to place the letters K, Z, and X in various places in words just so they can try and trademark/copyright said idiotic word. One thing I found disappointing about the quiz, in relation to one of the aforementioned English “types”, there was no question: Have you ever used the term “You sure got a pretty mouth” without it being a movie reference?

FYI: In some of the earliest versions of Red Hat Linux, you could choose “Red Neck” as your installation language.
