I only wish that this was an article about guys dolled up and running a marathon... but it was the first thing to come to mind.

My wife occassionally, with very little prodding, gets me to take some of those goofy tests with titles like, "what manner of tuber are you?"

Answer?

"I'm not a tuber!" (paraphrasing Arnold in "Kindergarten Cop")

At any rate, here are some of the results:

Obsolete skill:

You are 'French'. In the nineteenth century, it
was the international language of diplomacy.
It is a 'beautiful' language, meaning that it
is really just a low-fidelity copy of Latin.

You know the importance of communicating
'diplomatically', which for you means both
being polite and friendly when necessary and
using sophisticated, vicious sarcasm when
appropriate. Your life is guided by either
existentialism or nihilism, depending on the
weather. You have a certain appreciation for
the finer things in life, which is a diplomatic
way of saying that you are a disgusting
hedonist. Your problem is that French has been
obsolete for a long time.

What Gender Is Your Brain?

And, finally, my element:

Si... Silicon You scored 42 Mass, 34 Electronegativity, 29 Metal, and 0 Radioactivity!

Interesting. Take a bunch of really common person-elements and throw them together to get something truely exceptional... that's you. You are probably someone that gave up on trying to understand society at large a long time ago. You don't fear it, but you don't try to be one with it either. You are more or less unperturbed by things... if a problem comes up you might deal with it, or you might avoid it... whatever. You don't take kindly to people pushing you around, and you don't really push anyone else around. You're probably the only one that can tame oxygen simply because you don't understand it's raging neediness, but that doesn't mean that you'll really enjoy having a tame oxygen hanging around all that much either. You can probably get along with people like yourself really well, but you aren't your own soulmate... if only they could make entire colonies of people like you you'd be stoked. Just like you don't understand society, society doesn't understand you... and yes that is my excuse for not knowing how to describe you better.

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 57% on Mass You scored higher than 67% on Electroneg You scored higher than 9% on Metal You scored higher than 1% on Radioactivity

And, much to my annoyance, I was chosen as Prince Random (of Amber fame> here.

Since they couldn't bother with a description, I'll post it:
You are Prince Random.

You are the runt of the litter, and the youngest to boot. That kinda left you on the short end of the stick.

Advantages: You learned how to be non-offensive to just about everyone (except Florimel, but since she wasn't the youngest of the family after you were born, she's been all snotty about it anyway), and how to be quick to avoid elder brothers beating on you. You may not be the fastest one around (that goes to Benedict), but you are slick and never caught off-guard. You are very adaptable to your surroundings, and the best gambler in the family. Hey, you also get to be King after the books are done!

Disadvantages: Other than being small, and not that strong, and the youngest... well, aren't those enough? Oh, yes, you also got married by force after the woman you slept with originally killed herself after having your kid. Instant family. Not that that turned out badly, mind you, but it just goes to show that just about anyone in the family can bully you into doing what they want you to.

That's the news and I...am... outtahere!
