PG had spent a long day doing nothing. A friend needed a driver for a colonoscopy. The plan was to arrive at 12:30, start at 1:30, be done by 2:30, and go for a big lunch. The reality was arrive at 12:05, start at 2:15, and finish at 3:30. The southern cooking buffet was supposedly open at 4:00, but did not open until 4:30, which led to a half hour wandering around an antique store. After a drive through rush hour, PG was home, and did not feel like doing very much.
A facebook friend posted about a test, “What age do you act?”. PG has learned that taking stupid tests is a good subject for a blog post on a brain dead day. He also knows not to get involved with the evil machinery of Facebook applications. What you do is google “what age do you a”, and the choices appear as if by magic. You click on “what age do you act test” ( the other choices included quiz, quizzes, and what age do you apply for medicare). In .47 seconds, you have 109 million results.
The first test was the ad happy blogthings. There were ten questions, with five options each. As usual, there were a lot of bad choices, like choosing between TV shows he has never seen. Question ten was  honest… 10- How would you describe your political views?/ You don’t really get politics.
The answer was : You Act Like You Are 18 Years Old. You are a teenager at heart. You don’t quite feel like a grown up yet, but you don’t feel like a kid. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. You’re quite rebellious, and you don’t like being told what to do. You like to do things your way. You have your own unique style, taste in music, and outlook on life.
Underneath this answer, there was an invitation… G-d chose your birthday for a reason. Instantly learn 12 shocking secrets your birthday reveals about your future! When you go to this site, you see: BEWARE: please check the spelling of your Email address otherwise I would not be able to give an answer to Your Free Personal Horoscope consultation. PG will pass on this one.
The next answer on google is something called quizfarm (do they get a government subsidy?) This page features an aggressive popup ad for ray ban sunglasses. There are 25 statements, with five choices between agree and disagree. After answering them, PG was presented with a tie breaker…a choice between “After you eat lunch, you feel like napping./You’ve been married to your husband/wife for at least five years.”XX The answer was: You Scored as 1-12 years old. You should probably ask your parents if you’re aloud on the computer. The spelling suggests a Belorussian hack entrepreneur, and a virus scan tonight.
For a person who age last year was an interstate speed limit, this is rather encouraging. The next stop is AfterEllen The pop culture site that plays for your team. A log in is required here, which presents a problem. PG does not like to register at sides which advertise Velveeta Shells and Cheese. There are 108,999,996 choices left.
Two more choices required a log in. The next possible choice was youthink . There were seven multiple choice questions. The answer here is: 35! Congratulations! :) You are in your mid-30s where maturity really kicks in! You can be kinda serious at times, but it’s important not to be too serious about things unless they’re REALLY important! Kick back, let loose, and mellow out every once in a while! Enjoy yourself! :D
One more completed test, and it is time to get a life. Nerdtests is on google’s page two. The result was : You are like a young adult.Percent Maturity: 60%.
