What kind of cat are you? http://tinyurl.com/49sux

I feel truly creepy...but this how I scored: “The Cheshire Cat! You’re a sly cat who grins on the outside, but schemes on the inside. Even your best friends don’t realize that you may actually be their worst enemy!”

(Btw, I found this quiz at the Boredom Won’t Get Me Tonight blog: http://destructivecreation.blogspot.com)

WARNING
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of Sexually Transmitted Disease. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high-risk behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim and pronounced “gonna re-elect him.” Many victims contracted it in 2004, after having been screwed for the past four years. Cognitive characteristics of individuals infected include: anti-social personality disorders, delusions of grandeur with messianic overtones, extreme cognitive dissonance, inability to incorporate new information, pronounced xenophobia and paranoia, inability to accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history, tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all-or-nothing behavior. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease originated only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas.
