This is totally gacked from geekgrrllurking, so blame her. Well, it's also blamed on the excess of caffeine I indulged in today, which has me pinging off every possible surface [and a few impossibles ones]... It really does lower my resistance to things like these quizzes... And yes, I have mucked with the code again. Deal...
