The more time I spend looking at other's LJs, the more of these I decide to inflict on the rest of you.

You're Catch-22!

by Joseph Heller

Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you
see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense
of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an
ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You
could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of
people.

You're welcome.

I've been Siddartha too, it's an odd little quiz, but I like it. The most interesting aspect of it is how much is dependant on the initial conditions (i.e. the first two questions).

I think it works like a couple of "if/then" games a wrote back in High school, when I was trying to teach myself Pascal. Which makes it pretty easy for a lot of choices to be really constrained by how one starts.

I was kinda wondering about the initial constraints; husband and I were having fun with it this weekend. He's 100 Years of Solitude.

BTW, hope you don't mind--I went back and read your Iraq journal entries. You write very well. I appreciate people like you and Ginmar sharing your experiences to give civilians some idea of what it's like. I read Gin's writing about how sitting silhouetted in the moonlight makes her the perfect target, and I realize that I simply have no clue about soldiers' lives. I'm really glad you made it back safely.

Also, I found this on one of my favorite blogs this morning. You might have already read about it. It won't make you very happy but I figured you'd want to know

It would seem silly to mind, as I not only put them in a public place, I point people to them.

I'm glad you liked them, and I'm not unhappy you don't really have a clue about soldiering.

If you want some clues, I can reccomend some books (Keegan's The Face of Battle" isn't a bad a start, nor is, The Sharp End, though the latter is a tad more graphic.

After that, well the list gets long, and I'd need to know what you were interested in finding out.
