Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?this quiz was made by Lori Fury
Katherine
Parr spent nearly her whole life married to crotchety old men: Henry
was the THIRD old fart she was forced to marry. Is it any wonder she
turned to books and religion to occupy her time?
Katherine
wasn't just smart, she was a tiny bit uppity, too: she almost got herself
thrown in jail for arguing with His Royal Fatness about some theological
issues. After Henry croaked, Katherine dropped the prim and proper act
and married Thomas Seymour, a handsome, dashing pirate kind of guy who
was also as dumb as a post.
Which goes to show you that even bookworms know how to get it on.
<snort> Note that this wife is the one who actually went on to outlive the old bastard.

| yeah, i've pretty much been just posting quiz results lately. Even more alarmingly, it's all been harry potter themed quiz results, but somehow I'm just so drawn to the "which house are you in?" as personality test. Kind of like the Myers Briggs proliferation on Teh Internets. Though, oddly, I believe I've been placed in every possible house at least once, so I've nothing to say for the accuracy of these things. Which Mix of the Hogwarts Houses are You? 
You're a Slytherclaw!: By nature you are rational and a realist. Some people may call you cynical and elitist but this doesn't matter to you. You don't depend on other people's opinions to determine how you live your life. You are generally cautious and prefer to weigh the consequences before you act. In conflicts you prefer to remain neutral and aloof. You value intelligence and you are a natural diplomat, you can convince people to do what you want them to do. Your weakness is that you sometimes think more with your head than with your heart and it leads to isolation. With the intelligence of a Ravenclaw and the subtlety of a Slytherin you will be sure to achieve all your goals!
Take this quiz!

| Really... really really I ought to be working. But I haven't finished my coffee yet.
Which Hogwarts Faculty Member Are You? (Harry Potter)
I think I got this result because I admitted to having recurring dreams
where my past comes back to haunt me, and an admiration for Louis
Pasteur.

| My advisor repeatedly tells me "there's no bail money in the grant". But in case it all goes to hell, at least I'm somewhat prepared: Your Slanguage Profile | | Prison Slang: 50% | | British Slang: 25% | | Canadian Slang: 25% | | Southern Slang: 25% | | Victorian Slang: 25% | | Aussie Slang: 0% | | New England Slang: 0% |
but really folks, I should get some percentage California slang, since I *did* know what a "double double" is. Sunny Day Writer
You scored 36 Creativity, 53 Clarity, 63 Motivation, and 36 Disciplin! | | Just
write about what you know, and you tell the stories well. Thenovel is
inside you somewhere, but you just can't seem to find the timeto get it
onto paper. My advice is that you should write a few pages ifyou have
free time at work and email them to yourself. You'll find away, and
once you finish it you're likely to be published by the firstor second
publisher you submit it to. | | |
My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: | You scored higher than 99% on Creativity | | You scored higher than 99% on Clarity | | You scored higher than 99% on Motivation | | You scored higher than 99% on Discipline |
