Perhaps inspired by the anime conventions starting up again, or just nerdiness in general, I have decided to dig out an old nerd survey I created awhile back. It is certainly a less intimidating read than the prior post, and you can all see what a total nerd I really am :) Read on and I leave posterity to you, my fellow nerds and geeks.
btw, for fairness' sake, I shall complete the survey as well... and while it seems like a lot of questions, most of the answers are pretty easy, and of course, subjective, but that is the fun of this :)
1.First Name?
2.Age you would prefer to be?
3.Immortality?
4.What is your quest?
5.Nerd or Geek?
6.Single, Pre-Owned, or Attached?
7.History or Geography?
8.Favorite Sport?
9.Favorite Pro Sports Team?
10.Do you understand the infield fly rule?
11.Do you understand Cricket?(the default answer should be 'no', even if you are from the UK or former British colonial holding)
12.Fusion or Fission?
13.Do you own a lightsaber (real or otherwise)?
14.What is your favorite color?
15.What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
16.Star Trek, Babylon 5, or Battlestar Galactica?
17.Phaser or Blaster?
18.Superman or Batman?
19.Spiderman or Wolverine?
20. Harry Potter or JRR Tolkien (or alternatively, CS Lewis)?
21.Robert Frost or Edgar Allen Poe?
22.Weather aside, do you feel more day baseball games should be played?
23.Who fought each other in the Hundred Years War?
24.How many digital media devices do you own? (ie, ipods, computers, cellphones, video game systems)
25.360, PS3, or the worst name for a video game system ever(Wii)?
26.What is the longest amount of time you waited in line for a movie?
27. And finally, if you had a teleportation device that would send you into any of the alternate universe described above, where would you go?

Who Said This?
What follows is a little quote quiz, but I have made it a bit easier this time. I am going to give out the answers, they just need to be matched to the quote. They are deliberately deceptive and a couple are out of character for the person they match, and a couple are in fact, buried in the blog if you so desire to search that way. For whatever reason, these struck me as odd, humorous, or perplexing, and sometimes ironic and poignant.
The Answers:
A. Napoleon Bonaparte
B. Leon Trotsky
C. Robert E. Lee
D. Dave Barry
E. George S. Patton
F. Abraham Lincoln
The Quotes:
1) 'If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if there is a man on base.'
2) 'Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better.'
3) 'You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.'
4) 'To write history one must be more than a man; for the keeper of this great justiciary must be free of all preoccupation of interest... and of vanity.'
5) 'Whiskey - I like it, I always did, and that is the reason I never use it.'
6) 'It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. '
A couple of these are probably obvious, but this is certainly more a fun than serious exercise :)

Movie Quote Answers
Ok, it has been a week on this, so I figure I might give out the answers... plus, what I was going to originally post I lost, so this is as good a time as any to post the answers:
For posterity's sake (and so that no one has to scroll back to the original post... unless you just happened to be scrolling through my blog for the sake of.. um, scrolling :) I have posted the original quotes... the answers will follow below them.
1) 'Let us cross over the river and rest underneath the shade of the trees'.
2) 'If you think this crowd is ugly, you should see the dancing girls.'
3) 'War will make corpses of us all.'
4) 'The dead know only one thing. It is better to be alive.'
5) 'Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.'
6) 'Why do all my generals want to destroy my bridges?'
7) 'I will tell you how he lived.'
8) 'This is the end for you, my Master'
9) 'You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.'
10) 'What the hell are we supposed to use, man? Harsh language?'
1) General Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson, Gods and Generals (also his real life last words).
2) Fozzie Bear, The Muppet Movie
3) Faramir, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
4) Joker, Full Metal Jacket
5) William Munny, Unforgiven
6) Field Marshall Model, A Bridge Too Far
7) Nathan Algren, The Last Samurai
8) Anakin Skywalker, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
9) Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
10) Frost, Aliens
Perhaps next time, I won't be so war/historical movie heavy, and maybe I might go with a different soundtrack. Or maybe I might do some general trivia, as opposed to movie only. I'm not quite NTN, but I know my way around a few Trivia Pursuit games.

Movie Quote Quiz
Since I am going to be leaving tonight to head to Destin, Fl for Anime South (as noted on my little anime convention calendar to the right :) I have decided to post something for all the movie junkies out there. I posted a similar quiz like this on an old journal a couple of years back, but I think I only had three or four quotes. This time, I leave you with 10 quotes from 10 separate movies from various genres and time periods (though most, if not all, within the the last 4 decades or so). The format is quite simple: I give the quote and you tell me the movie... bonus points (if I gave out points) if you can get the character and/or actor who said the line. Some will be rather obvious, others not so much. Alas, I have no prizes to give other than kudos on your movie trivia powers.
I would normally make a disclaimer about using the Internet, but since I am using it to make sure my memory and the quote match, that would be rather hypocritical of me.
1) 'Let us cross over the river and rest underneath the shade of the trees'.
2) 'If you think this crowd is ugly, you should see the dancing girls.'
3) 'War will make corpses of us all.'
4) 'The dead know only one thing. It is better to be alive.'
5) 'Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.'
6) 'Why do all my generals want to destroy my bridges?'
7) 'I will tell you how he lived.'
8) 'This is the end for you, my Master'
9) 'You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.'
10) 'What the hell are we supposed to use, man? Harsh language?'
Everyone take care and enjoy the weekend (though I am sure I will be able to get online at some point as my hotel has internet access in the rooms.)
