I thought we'd lost more service members in Iraq this past year than in Afganistan.
That was the one I almost missed, but I changed my answer to Afghanistan right before I went on to the next question.
Mal: Can I come in? Inara: No. Mal: See? That's why I usually don't ask.

I got 10 wrong- the supreme court justices and chairman of the Repuclican Party. When I looked at the data, I was amazed at how few people knew who Stephen Colbert was-- is it perhaps because the name is slightly out of context, I wonder?

I got 10 out of 12. I was wrong about the unemployment rate (which I also got wrong on another quiz, I need to find out what the hell it is) and the crotch bomber training site. Which I realized after I'd clicked.
I thought that the way that the questions were phrased was interesting. It was like the questions were designed to make you feel better about not knowing or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do y'all have a coordinator who could take over as PM?
I'm the backup PM, and ... a world of no. But I can only really back him up when scheduled to do so, because I only fully catch up to project status twice a week anymore.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Unemployment is around 10%.
I always remember Yemen because of the Friends episode where Chandler tries to break up with Janice by telling her he's moving to Yemen.

That's a question I'm definitely glad to be wrong about, then.

I also got all 12 on the politics quiz, though I had to guess on the oil importation one.
That was the one that almost got me, my first thought was the right answer, but I felt like maybe it was too obvious.
Everybody talks about ending our dependence on foreign oil, but nobody does anything about it. The obvious solution is to invade Canada. By far that's the country we import the most oil from and, unlike the Persian Gulf, we can drive there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I thought that the way that the questions were phrased was interesting. It was like the questions were designed to make you feel better about not knowing or something.
Yeah, like, "No pressure, but if you happen to know...?"
