He's read almost every Encyclopedia Brown book every written, I think. We'll have to move on to The Great Brain next.Ian Graham: The Best Book of Spaceships (The Best Book of)
He pours over this book, and will soon have all the types of spaceships memorized, I'm sure.

"Do you floss your teeth?" Ha! Unexpectedly funny.

How embarrassing is it to answer the "how politically (in)active are you?" questions RIGHT after you've listed all the dumb TV you watch. Reality TV, sure! Write to my politicians about things that are important to me, no thanks. Ug! Gotta re-think that.

Good gosh. Next time I'm just going to say I'm a non-drinker and cut 5 minutes off the total questionnaire time. Still, it was fun.

I read a lot of books for information, but it wasn't captured in the questions, fyi.

Also, once I put in that I was referred by a parenthood-themed blog, all of the magazine choices were magazines I have no desire to subscribe to, completely bypassing the things I am interested in.
It just seemed to create an incomplete picture.
Otherwise, kind of fun. Thanks for being interested!

It's not so much that I believe in UFOs as much as I don't believe we are the only planet with life. And yes, books were underrepresented. Did you get to select your own questions?

Argh! What's with the completely separate set of questions on "whisk(e)y" and "scotch"? Scotch IS whisky.
