Quiz #1: What kind of gun am I?
It said I'm an M16/M4 - plain and nothing special. (I accidentally closed the window before copy and pasting.) I did not like this result at all.
*sigh/whine* I'm a special little flower. I know I am. ;)

Quiz #2: Which philosopher am I?
Sartre/Camus (late existentialists)
The world is absurd. No facts govern it. We live well once we truly accept the world's absurdity. YOU give our life's meaning, and YOU control your world. (see Nietzsche for very closely tied beliefs)
My other results were:
W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein (more than half the bar was red)
Kant (just above half)
Nietzsche (just above half)
Aristotle (about half)
Early Wittgenstein / Positivists (about 1/3)
Plato (strict rationalists) (just a smidgen)
(Now I want to read some Sartre!)

Quiz #3: What breed of horse am I?
Lipizzaner
Hard-working and desperate to please, Lipizzaners are all about discipline and success. Intelligent and organized, they are always in control. Just remember take some time out to relax every once in a while.

I got to see some Lipizzaners perform in Chicago once when I was young. I'd say 'simply magnificent' except that there's nothing 'simple' about them. So much elegance, poise, and control on the part of the horses. And they are gorgeous.

I'd heard something about there being a Lipizzaner training facility outside of Chicago...not sure if it's still there, but what a nifty notion. I hope someday I'll get to see them. As for your gun result...well, I think the Lipizzaner result neatly contradicts your supposed ordinariness. ::nods::

As for Sartre, I've always wanted to read him. We didn't get much into the existentialists in any of my philosophy classes and so I know just enough about them to crack jokes that may or may not be funny. Love Wittgenstein, though---early, late...it doesn't matter. :)

As far as I remember (and I was probably 13 at the time, so memory may be faulty), the true Lipizzaner horses never leave Europe. The ones that travel are the ones that didn't quite make the cut - still INCREDIBLE athletes and dancers, but just a smidge below perfection. Things like a hoof that's the wrong color or a slightly off-color coat or a gait that's a hair off true. Still, that was one of the most incredible pieces of showmanship and beauty I've ever seen. Truly, the people on the backs of the horses were almost superfluous.

I should read more philosophy. Haven't read hardly any. Shall be rectified one day. :)

Wow! I'll definitely have to look for an opportunity to see them. That sounds remarkable. And philosophy's some fun reading---often tough reading, as well, but the ideas are so worth the work. Of course, I say that, but I don't think I've picked up a serious philosophical work since completing my minor in undergraduate school. ;) Mayhap we can both start with Sartre?

A two-person book club reading Sartre! Hey - it'd probably be more interesting and we'd probably actually do it if we did it together!

That sounds excellent! Now I just have to finish reading all the books that I checked out from the library and have been too distracted to read lately.

Hmmm. I'm beginning to see why I never seem to get around to the philosophy....

When I read the result of which gun you were, I immediately thought of your work situation too. It really does fit that situation, or least what I've heard of it.

We were pretty different on the philosophers, which I found intriguing. I definitely have to learn a little more about philosophy.

And I'm sending you lots of mental hugs!

Thanks, сестра. ::hugs back:: And I shall shortly journey to your lj to comment...I hope. Time holds distinctly different meaning these days. I think Hermione's wedding stretched it out and it has yet to fully recover.... :)
