THE X-FILES
11. While watching an episode of 'The X-Files', you are most likely to think:
It's a shame those two don't get long Why do I watch this crap? Why does my geeky boyfriend make me watch this crap? At last, a programme that tells it like it is They look Jewish. Everyone in TV is Jewish I was the one who had the idea for this show, but the producers stole it from my brain while I slept. I must never sleep again

Keanu/the ass-kicking babe is hot I just know that at the end of the film my geeky boyfriend is going to say, 'Hey! What if we really ARE in a Matrix?' At last, a film that tells it like it is I bet Keanu is Jewish. Everyone in movies is Jewish

THE GULF WAR
16. Was the Gulf War:
A necessary intervention to uphold democracy and safeguard strategic interests? A neo-colonialist outrage by the capitalist conspiracy in which the lives of the proletariat were sacrificed to defend oil profits? Shot in the same studios where they faked the Moon Landing and the Holocaust?
A Norwegian inlet An invisible hypnotic command word used by our secret rulers to provoke instinctive unease What is a what? I didn't see anything. It just said, 'What is a ' and then nothing. There's a bit missing. I feel uneasy.
18. What's wrong with the following passage?
'I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and YOU nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on MUST the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start KILL to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have JOHN to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's LENNON crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy.'
Nothing much It's full of adolescent self-pity You didn't ask J.D. Salinger for permission to quote it I can't obey it as Lennon is already dead
Welcome her in, hug her, fix her a drink, etc? Ask her if she's alone? Get your alleged 'mother' in a headlock, stick a gun in her mouth and threaten to blow her head off unless she recites her maiden name and birthdate backwards in the next ten seconds? Blow her head off on general principles - your real mother knows better than to visit without giving the pre-arranged code signal? Chloroform her and trepan her skull to search for alien implants?
20. You're at a party and an attractive member of the opposite sex asks you for your phone number. Do you:
Give it to them? Give them a false one? Punch them in the face, leave the party quickly, change taxis twice on the way home, burn your house down and move to another country? Go along with it in the hope they'll have sex with you, then blow their head off before they can betray you? Get them blind drunk and trepan their skull to search for alien implants?
Yes No No, but I'm careful only to voice bland, happy sentiments when near it Only a fool imagines toasters aren't sentient lifeforms
22. Take a long, close look at your socks. How sure are you that they're the exact same pair you put on this morning and that no-one's replaced them with a different but similar pair at some point?
100% sure 90% sure Not at all sure, now that you mention it I'm alarmed that you know I'm wearing socks I'm not wearing socks as they're a government plot to stifle your chakras or something
SCORES
[Note to editors: I've assigned numerical values to the various responses but have no idea how to make them add up using HTML]
YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORY RECEPTIVITY RATING:
-0 - 35 LOW 35 - 70 MIDDLING Over 70 HIGH
HOW YOU RATE:
LOW - A bit complacent, aren't you? All is for the best in the best of all possible worlds, hmm? What you don't know can't hurt you. Ignorance is bliss. It won't save you. People like you will be the first against the wall when it all goes down.
MIDDLING - More savvy. Your eyes are open to the nature of the beast, but you like to weigh up all the evidence rather than making rash uninformed pronouncements. It still won't save you.
HIGH - You are a lunatic. Unfortunately, you are right. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you. Speaking of which, our government controllers tracked your terminal some time ago. Expect a call from men in black.
