Full Version: How well do you know your science fiction?
Are you a science fiction buff? I get the impression we have quite a few here. Have a go at this quiz about classic sf from MSN, and see if you can beat my 10/11.
A poor 5
7/11 one was a pure guess though.
A disappointing six.
An expected 6 which included one guess (the Kirk one).
Tied you, baby......10/11!
(Now I MUST know which one you missed....)
(Now I MUST know which one you missed....)
9/11 - Never read Dune so I was guessing with that one and the one about Dejah Thoris.
MajQa'!
Guess work really

Dejah Thoris is the one I missed, Raven. Nailed that Dune one, though... 
7/11 - don't read much (if any) Science Fiction...at least that is my excuse.
9/11 !! Muaddib Muthafukka !!!!!

6. All my guesses were wrong.
6/11 ... & some of those were guesses.

For those not entrenched in all things Dune, that was not in fact an Islamic reference to September 11th.
(Though that'd be 11/9 for the UK contingent, so never mind....)
I applaud you, Usul.

6/11 - Paltry...
I have to admit to a couple being guesses, but darn were they good guesses.

You talk the talk, but would you know what to do in an alien invasion? You got 10/11 correct.

The lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning - 9/11

Heeee. That reminds me, Dourif was certainly one of the best things about the Lynch version. *nod* He's almost always a highlight, tho.
Hell, I figured we were all at least making a few educated guesses. (I definitely guessed on the source of the name "Tiberius"...)

I managed a rubbish 5. I have no excuse.
7 with one correct guess.
6!
pah! scandalous!
pah! scandalous!
4/11.
I am nonplussed

I got a rubbish 5/11. All my wrong answers were guesses.
7 with a guess...
A very poor 4...
7 with a few guesses including on the Tiberius question, but most I got right from my own knowledge. I'm both impressed and dissapointed with this result.
8/11, and a lot of my answers were total guesses.

If we are, and we manage to be in London and L.A. at the same time, we are the coolest person EVER. (And that right there is science fiction...no wonder we got 10/11!)
I am such an sf geek that I found this (from Usenet) hilariously funny.
