The Kook Report

How wierd are you?

Many occultists, pagans, new-agers, geeks, physicists and little old men like to claim that they are wierd, at least when faced with blantantly normal company. But how true is it? After all, there's a lot more to being wierd than just knowing some funky stuff.

To see if you actually capture the unhinged feeling of tentative lunacy that makes up geniune wierdness, just go through the following quiz question by question. The more points you get at the end, the stranger you are.

If you don't understand one of the questions, then choose the first option.

The genuinely wierd may like to email me their scores, although this is not an action that will gain you any bonus points. If this is so in your case, I undertake not to react too offensively to such an email, perhaps.
