Dynamics of Cats
Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting, theoretical issues, science and science policy. I will digress into computational physics, science fiction and general issues and basically whatever I feel like whenever. And, of course, cats.

So, how do pickled rams' testicles taste like?
Posted by: Bob O'H | October 9, 2008 11:53 AM
Only scored 80%, and that was with one lucky guess. Great-aunt Sigga would be disappointed in me.

Too bad that the answer to question number 5 is incorrect.

Pickled sheep's testicles are sour.
The West Ham thing is a fan boy - somebody watched too much "English football" on Icelandic TV in the 70s methinks.
Erlendur: Iceland is a NATO member but NOT an EU member so that is the patently false answer - of course all the other answers are technically false also, except arguably the first one.

I managed to get a perfect score, taking into account the blatantly wrong answer to Q5. This is surprising as my knowledge of things Icelandic falls of pretty precipitously after the 13th century.
Posted by: csrster | October 10, 2008 4:14 AM
Yes, indeed. I simply misread the question :P
Posted by: Erlendur | October 10, 2008 4:17 PM
I just want to know if my account at Bank of Iceland will be bailed out by the IMF. Seriously.
