Al Gore or the Unabomber? [quiz]

Post by Joe »

I scored 33%.

I think there's also a bin Laden or Jerry Falwell quiz out there, but the link I found was broken.

I scored 50%, I have mistaken Gore 50% as the unibomber!~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

But without Gore we wouldn't have the phrase "roadkill on the Information Superhighway" :oops:

I hate to say it, but that's true.

And what he really said was "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

No, it's clear that he can't take a joke at all. At least not against his precious party.

So? That's not right either. He voted yes for a bill which took ARPAnet out of the Federal Government's hands.

The Internet was really born in 1969.

Moreover, its entirely pointless to make a comment like that. What, did anyone think that the Clarvoyant Gore the Grey foresaw the economic oppurtunities by such a thing and voted to privatize it? (Oddly this "dot com" boom fell flat on its face during the election year and ended up the current slowdown situation which was blamed on Bush.) Is that the intent he was getting across?

What a tool.

I scored 50%.

On the Falwell/Bin Laden quiz, I got 12 out of 20. I actually knew who said a few on that one, the rest were guesses.
