Do You Feel Old Yet? My score was a perfect 20!

[Sally Brown]

This is NOT a pushover test, well except that it may be for you. There are 20 questions. Average score is 12. It will help if you are over 60, not that YOU are, of course! This one will be difficult for the younger set. Have fun, but no peeking! Good luck youngsters.

I got them all, but I confess to guessing at #10.

[jjvman]

I didn't have to guess at #10, but got them all. I think maybe I'm too old. Interestingly, on a game show (Cash Cab) yesterday, they asked what the Latin phrase was for the intersection of three roads, usually referred to now as meaningless or non-important information.

Amazing how that "dead" language keeps coming back to haunt us, huh jj? But looking back, I am sure glad that it was a required in my high school.

"Lions and tigers and bears - oh my!" makes me chuckle. I thought for sure everybody would have seen The Wizard of Oz at least a zillion times by now. Ollie, you were the second gent (the first a friend who did radio communications in Vietnam) who "guessed" that answer but wasnt 100% positive.

The one that almost stumped me was #3 - the Pogo quote. I chose the answer that seemed to be one that I had heard somewhere over the years. I may even have seen that cartoon although I really don't remember off hand when or where. No truer a reflection about our own personal worst enemy than Pogo's wisdom though! "He is us!"

[Snowden]

I missed Dobie's friend. Score, 19.

[sfga6970]

Well, I got 20 right with no guesses. I must be a FOG. I took Latin, 4 years was required where I went to school (Jesuit education).

I do remember my Latin teachers favorite saying:

"Non illegitimi carborundum".

[Snowden]

A phrase often quoted by the lawyers I used to work for!
