Okay, so I'm a sucker for these internet quizes:

NerdTests.com says I'm a Highly Dorky Nerd King. What are you? Click here!

The fun facts displayed after you take the test were amusing (and no, I wasn't one of the 28.3%):


Quick Fun Facts:

96616 unique people have taken this test.

Based on these unique user's answers...

44.8% of test takers are gals,
53.1% are guys,
...the rest (2.1%) are confused.

17.1% of test takers get aroused by "iPhone," while
40.6% get utterly ill.

34.6% of all test takers would choose the Internet over sex, and
28.3% of married test takers prefer the Internet over sex.

Only 3.6% of test takers own a Jar Jar Binks t-shirt, though
56.0% of them don't own a lightsaber (priorities == messed up).

Urine Gone! is apparently a fabulous product "For Pet or People accidents". They have a cheesy bit where they talk about getting rid of urine odours caused by people :)

How many units to they have to sell to pay for the tv advertisements?
