TotL.net Human Virus Scanner


"During our research for "Don't Cross the Memes" we encountered several potent memetic viruses. Six months later we have perfected a simple yet effective human virus detector..." [via wood s lot]
My results:

Viruses [I] suffer from [and cure, if known]:

Macintosh
Use a mouse with more than one button.
Linux
Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.
Junkfood
Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.
Politics
Stop caring!
Environmentalism
Consume more stuff! It's easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.

Viruses [I] might suffer from:

Religion (80%)
Read "God's Debris" by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)
British (80%)
No need for cure. Benign virus.
Conspiracy Theory (60%)
Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that's quite scary.
Hippyism (68%)
Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.

(seems fair, except that apparently 100% atheists aren't supposed to recognize religous symbols! :-)
