You’ve seen them. They began on the C and D Blogs, and they’re all over the B Blogs now. Dopey questionnaires that ask you to answer five or six odd questions, none of which can be answered wrong. Then you submit your answers, and the magic internest blogsite genii tells you what kind of breakfast cereal you are, or some such drivel.
Don’t know what I’m railing about? Here are a few examples:
What kind of afro-desiac are you?
What kind of paper clip do you most resemble?
If you were a freakin’ cupcake, would you be less of a dork?
The results of these inane surveys are then posted on the authors’ websites with a proclamation such as “I am a furry little wombat/budgie hybrid who enjoys hot cocoa.” Barf.
So, then, I have a proposal for y’all. Whenever and wherever you find a blog that asks you to take a dopey “What Kind Of ___ Am I” type quiz, don’t bother clicking on the link. Just answer “I’m Asparagus.” No further explanation is necessary.
Let’s get rid of this obnoxious trend so we can get on with REALLY inane blogging, like cat snoring videos:

“Koko the gorilla is famous for mastering more than 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language, which she uses to communicate with Stanford researchers.
“That’s not all she’s learned from humans. One day her attendants discovered that a steel sink in her enclosure had been torn from its moorings. When they confronted her, she pointed to her pet kitten.
“‘Cat did it’, she signed.”
Strutts News Services was granted an exclusive interview with Koko, and asked the following questions, in ASL:
