Title: American Citizenship Test

=.= I decided I would attempt to take a sample American Citizenship Test, because my science teacher once mentioned that student council came up with a small citizenship test to see how many students in our school could pass, out of a sum of 20. He said over half failed and I wanted to see if I knew anything about my country by looking up an online version.
The one I took asked me this question: Why does the US flag have 13 stripes? I answered: Because of the thirteen original colonies that rebelled against the British Crown. It told me I was wrong and that the 13 stripes represented the 13 Englishmen who first touched American soil. =.= That doesn't even match up with history... Stupid online test.... >=[ The rest of the test was good, so I'm assuming the maker had a mistake in the coding.
So I found another one, that was less stupid; 20 sample questions on MSNBC and scored 90%. I got #4 wrong because I misread it and #14 wrong, because I didn't know it. =P

London, England, toots. Where there isn't a decent hamburger.
Why the hell wouldn't you want a hamburger?!

I got that on the American citizenship test and I said that because England has no decent hamburgers. It's a reference to the John Wayne movie Brannigan.

It's not a joke so much as it's just a reference that I didn't really intend anybody to get. Eh, I better hit the sack. Plenty to post about tomorrow morning! [marvwave]

To tell you the truth, addy, I'm not quite sure. It's 1am and I'm as tired as a horse after the Kentucky Derby.

I enjoy watching the videos where the jockeys get flipped and run over. I also like ones where dogs scare the little children.
