Stats

  Stats are pretty important.  Short for statistics.  I checked the stats of my Blog of Awesome and the number two viewers of it are Ruskies.  Yep.  The freakin' CCCP, and not Black Widow from The Avengers either.  Nope.  Real, honest-to-evil Commies.  Ah, Commies. The sworn enemy of .. me.

 Well, hope you guys enjoy reading my stuff.  I wonder how well Google Translator does?  I wonder if it bemuses them that I want their country enveloped in fire and gamma radiation for all eternity?  Well, they're halfway there with the cyberpunk'ed Chernobyl.  Yep, there are squatters there and have created their own out-of-law city that Putin and his gangsters won't even bother with anymore.  A lot of them live in the multi-underground complex military base nearby.  I think it's about 5 levels down.  Any Ruskies can correct me on that if they feel up to it and aren't afraid of being shot by giving out intel.  Poor fools.  I admire their convictions, sort of the way we used to be back before we got overthrown by gays.  They're everywhere now.
  D&D had us roll stats for our characters for different encounters.  Nerds like me would try to work-out what our own, human stats might be, based on the same scheme of 3 six-sided dice for Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom (ie. common sense), Constitution (ie. ability to not get sick), Dexterity, and Charisma (ie. likability).  I don't think anyone I knew was bold enough to give themselves an 18 out of 18 on any statistic.
  D&D also used to give stats for one's alignment based on the official "Alignment Chart".

  By using the alignment chart, a person could act-out their character better; for instance, if one was "Chaotic Evil" one might take the pleasure in the suffering of others.  Interestingly, some of the alignments "wrap around" in the sense that an extreme "Lawful Good" character might have "Chaotic Evil" tendencies.  An example of this is a Paladin (a very very good knight who loves his country and God) might take delight in the suffering of sworn enemies to his country who hate God.

  I recommend taking an alignment test every quarter to see how your brain matches up.

  Now the test above is not an end-all be-all.  It might be skewed a bit.  Here's one more:

This one's more modernized and makes more sense...

 Anyway, as usual (and as a bard I should score as):

Neutral Good

You scored 55% Law vs Chaos and 72% Good vs Evil!

I'm actually glad I scored Neutral Good again.  I don't try to.  I just answer as honestly as possible based on how I feel.  I think that one's alignment affects one's stats.  I'd warrant most sports players are Neutral Evil (aka pretty darn selfish) despite fans wanting to believe otherwise.  I don't know why we idolize these villains who get off easy in courts for their crimes.  Aw, heck.  Not all of them are villains.  Not like this:

  Some folks think there's an additional two stats that should be considered: Luck and Comeliness.  I'd have to agree.  Someone can look ugly with low Comeliness but have high Charisma.  One can be ugly but charismatic, such as Darth Vader or David Lee Roth or Chuck Barris.  Luck is well, just dumb luck.  Some folks got it and some ain't got none.  I figure luck balances itself out though.  If you have a string of bad luck, good luck will come your way to balance it out; either that or you're payin' for a slight, like in the GREAT show My Name is Earl.  Honestly good on every level.  Dave can't get over the mustache though.  GET OVER THE MUSTACHE!  Sheesh!

  So feel free to post your scores from the OKCupid site and shove 'em in here.  You can sign-in as Anonymous which is okay as I set anonymity as an option if you want, or if you don't have an account or don't subscribe then you can tag your name or username along with it.  Curious how you did!  To make it easier, I'll add a poll (on the side) so you can rate your score.
