Guarniad Unlimited (See! I could type for them!) has a load of quizzes at [www.guardian.co.uk], some of which even manage to be amusing...

Can there be anyone who isn't aware of their purity test by now?

Just got this in my email:

The following is from the Washington Post Style Invitational contest that asks readers to submit "instructions" for something (anything), but written in the style of a famous person. The winning entry was
The Hokey Pokey (as written by W. Shakespeare).

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

-- by William Shakespeare

for those unfamiliar, Peeps are a colored-sugar coated marshmallow concoction in the shape of little chicks. Typically sold at Easter time in order to hype the children up even more than their chocolate bunnies. They also come in the shape of bunnies and I believe they used to have flat egg shaped ones too. At Halloween, they come shaped like ghosts and pumpkins.
