Pseudoscience Basics
|

Hit with an Irony Bar
|
Dictionary.com defines "ironic" as the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning. Rain on your wedding day is unfortunate, not ironic. Name these things from history that are, in fact, ironic.

Death and Taxes

YOU MUST TAKE THIS QUIZ! (At least according to one author, who cited death and taxes as the only two certainties in life.) Nine questions about death, nine about taxes, and two about both. It shouldn't be too taxing, if you're not brain dead.

I'm convinced that some of the people who decide to release the movies hate audiences and wish to see us suffer. Warning: The movies discussed are toxic, and therefore some of the questions require knowledge outside the movie itself.
