Were you a lunatic in history?

December 19th, 2006 · 4 Comments

I usually pass up the chance to take online quizzes. I don’t really care what type of dog I would own, job I should have, or which celebrity has the same nose as I do….but this, this I could not simply ignore.

It is a simple online quiz to determine which of history’s many, many lunatic characters you resemble the most. Think about it: you too could be one of the millennia’s great madmen…or women.

Besides, you have to love a quiz where the first question is “Have you ever obliterated a village, close relatives, or Siberia?” followed by “Do you abhor human contact?”

    Actually, I did kind of, his picture is situated prominently in the original post. It was Charles VI or “Charles the Mad” (1368-1422) of France. And no, I won’t be going to any halloween parties covered in tar and straw and chained like a gimp to six of my most loyal )and most flammable) nobles.
