    In some ways it reminds me of those cootie catchers (those little paper things that "tell fortunes") that little kids play with (or used to). I've been toying with this idea that the internet is supposed to be the lotus blossom that Buddha holds, but in reality it's just a cootie catcher after all.
That's an awesome analogy. It's not that I am anti "silly," I did take a "test" immediately following that one about which Star Wars character I am (Luke) but I am anti people taking these things seriously. There are idiots out there that are sure they're supposed to move to Barcelona now because of which Beyonce moment they most relate to.

Haha, I get you. Yeah, you know, I don't blame people for drawing comfort from rituals and superstitions, but I do draw the line at predicting the future based on the various iterations of Beyonce.

"¿Por qué vives en Barcelona?"

"Beyonce."
