Alright, let’s just get all this silliness out of the way right now. The first link comes courtesy of everyone’s favorite Information Literacy Superhero (and my former roommate and coworker), Libraryman:

Next, courtesy of yet another former coworker, the mighty
Max Power, we have the Library Quiz. The results are not promising:
Aspiring Librarian
You scored 48% on knowledge of librarianship. |
You’re getting there – you know more than most people about libraries. Maybe you’re starting Library School and getting yourself ready to take over the profession. Or maybe you already work in a library but just don’t know some of the history and details. But, you’re more of an aspiring librarian than a full-fledged librarian. |

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:
|
You scored higher than 81% on knowledge |
|
It’s nice to know that the quiz pegged me as first year grad school student, when I actually received my MLS seven years ago and have worked in or visited dozens of libraries since. I guess this shows just how useful an MLS (otherwise known as “The $30,000 Union Card”) really is.
I knew I should’ve been a roadie for Motorhead.

It is our great pleasure to name Pat Robertson the 2005 Craaaziest Christian of the Year™. Our favorite nutjob really stepped up to the plate in the past 12 months, blaming Hurricane Katrina on abortion, calling for Divine Vengeance on the town in Pennsylvania that voted to teach science in science class, and blaming Ariel Sharon’s stroke on God’s anger over Israeli foreign policy. Truly inspiring, Reverend!
For those reasons, as well as his earlier branding of activist judges as a worse threat to America than Al Qaeda and his fatwa on Hugo Chavez, Pat Robertson runs away with the title. He’s so crazy, he managed to beat out the entire state of Kansas singlehandedly! Glory!
It is worth noting that Reverend Robertson’s year-long tirade was so inspiring that we were not the only person to take notice and honor him. For literally the first time in our life, we agree on something with godless secular humanists! Such is the power of Robertson to bring people together!
Well! Now that we’ve settled 2005’s winner, we might as well begin introducing nominees for the 2006 award. Our first an old favorite, Rev. Fred Phelps, who has lately been protesting the funerals of soldiers killed in Iraq because he claims the casualties are God’s vengeance on America for tolerating The Gays! Our second nominee, Dr. Henry Makow, continues in a similar vein, claiming that “Brokeback Mountain” is an Illuminati plot to destroy the traditional family and impose New World Order! Truly, this year is off to a rousing start. Feel free to let us know which of these Godly headcases you would like to see move on to the next round, and nominate any other Craaazy Christians™ we may have missed or overlooked. Glory!
