For starters (thanks to
gridlore), there's a "What Science Fiction Author Are You?" test here:
http://gning.org/skiffy.html ...According to it, I am Robert A. Heinlein.
Quelle surprise.
I've only read, oh, 99.9 percent of his stuff :)
We played a different who-am-I game at my company party last night. As you walked in the door, a sticky label was placed on your back, where you couldn't see it unless you were flexible enough to lick your own genitalia, in which case why would you be wasting your time at a party?
Each label had a character's name on it (E.T., John Lennon, James Bond, Jackie O, etc...). You had to determine who you were by asking your fellows a series of yes-no questions.
Correctly guessing my first one (Einstein) wasn't difficult, as I'd typed up the labels that afternoon, and could see everyone else's. So they made up a second one just for me (Count Dracula), which I managed to get with ten questions. This game was more fun than I expected it to be when first explained; I recommend it at your next party.
After that, since we decided not to play Pictionary, I took my Christmas bonus (a poinsettia) and went home.
Not a bad party, although somewhat stiffer than last year's.
