This Is Your Brain On The 80's
Forgive me if this has been posted, but I got it from Five Link Friday at MSNBC.

Fair warning: They weight your score based on your age... I gave my correct generation, they called me a Yuppie and subtracted 30% of my score for ruining the economy!

1. I got 102. Not too shabby, not quite obsessive.

2. That beats my unweighted 96.
Bastards... imagine, penalizing me 30% for being born in 1966!

6. Horrible. 31.25
I'm sure there's lots of songs there that I actually know but don't get the lyrics. English is a difficult language to listen.

AND I'M NO YUPPIE GODDAMMIT! :argh:

12. I flunked. I was drunk through most of the 80's.
Plus I tended to listen to classical music or prog rock.

Funny. I would rather forget the 80's. Even though I was younger

15. That thing was too long to be fun
I didn't make it a third of the way through it before giving up.

16. I tend to agree
I kept it in a minimized window while I surfed other sites, did it piecemeal.
