Unreal post

Since I've been too migrainey for much coherent thought this week (which would be why I have not been responding to recent comments--my apologies! and thanks to all of you who responded to the poll post, especially), the first post of October will not be a real post, but a quiz post. So what kind of Martian time-traveling power bird are you, anyway?

Your result for The Time Travel Test...

The Prototype

36% Practicality, 64% Mutability, 0% NaziLoving Wuss, 65% Woowoo?

Your time machine is the Prototype.

You don't know how it works. You barely even think you know what it does. You haven't the faintest clue how to operate it. But you're going to have fun finding out! For you, time travel is all about experimentation. Paradoxes aren't dangers to watch out for: they're challenges! And you're up to that challenge. So what if you wipe out a few universes on your quest for knowledge? You can't make a time-omelet without breaking a few time-eggs!

If you liked this test, you might be interested in trying out The Martian Personality Test as well.

These quizzes make me sound a heck of a lot more confident and interesting than I really feel.

A Call for Change

Clean, clear, inclination, clinic, ecclesiastical, kleptomaniac, classic, click, clack, clank, clarity, preclude, occlude, include, clarion, cleft, cleavage, clemency, reckless, feckless, sickly, weakly, suckling, duckling: these are just a few of the many words used in English featuring a sound combination that pronunciation guides would render with the letters "kl." This combination of sounds is not at all difficult for any halfway competent American speaker of English to pronounce. So could somebody please get modern Republicans to stop mispronouncing the word "nuclear" over and over and over again? LOOK AT THE WORD. THERE IS ONLY ONE "U," OKAY? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ???

Ahem. Sorry, I was raised by one of the old-fashioned Republicans who actually knew how to pronounce his job title, though he did occasionally suggest that "unclear physicist" might be more appropriate.
