You seem to have a healthy balance in your life when it comes to the internet and life away from the computer. You know enough to do what you want online without looking like an idiot (most of the time). You even have your own Yahoo club or online journal! But you enjoy seeing your friends and going out to enjoy life away from your computer.

As a preliminary note, I hope this doesn't break the no religious commentary rule of the forum. I'm not trying to "preach" anything here, it's just a Bible trivia quiz that I found online (though not an online quiz itself) and nothing more. I don't think the person who made it even knows much about the Bible, since it erroneously refers to the book of "Ecclesiastics" in the answers. The game show Jeopardy often has categories on Biblical trivia, so I personally don't feel like this is too religious of a subject matter. But just as a warning: no interpretation or exegesis of the Biblical passages herin shall be allowed, for the sake of upholding the forum rules. Without the proper context most of them don't really make much sense anyway. And the quiz follows:


Which of the following 40 quotations are found in the Bible? For each quotation, indicate with "True" or "False" whether it is a biblical passage or whether it comes from some other source.

Also, the Bible passages are from the KJV (if you don't know what that means then even if I tell you it's not likely to be of any help, so I'll leave it at that).

N.B. None of the following are from the Apocryphal books.

1. The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

2. Open rebuke is better than secret love.

3. A fool and his money are soon parted.

4. Every day is a messenger of God.

5. No man can serve two masters.

6. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.

7. Cast thy bread upon the waters for thou shalt find it after many days.

8. It is a wise father that knows his own child.

9. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

10. Fair weather cometh out of the north.

11. The good deed drives away the evil deeds.

12. Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

13. Not life, but a good life, is to be chiefly valued.

14. There's a divinity that shapes our ends, roughhew them how we will.

15. I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

16. Let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

17. A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

18. Make haste slowly.

19. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.

20. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

21. Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.

22. Cowards die many times before their death.

23. Wealth maketh many friends.

24. Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

25. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.

26. The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.

27. There is no new thing under the sun.

28. Character is much easier kept than recovered.

29. Man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

30. Lost time is never found again.

31. The sleep of a labouring man is sweet.

32. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

33. A word to the wise is sufficient.

34. No prophet is accepted in his own country.

35. Be not righteous over much.

36. If wishes were horses, beggars might ride.

37. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.

38. God helps those that help themselves.

39. Pride goeth before destruction.

40. One picture is worth more than a thousand words.


If you don't know anything about the Bible, it's still possible to figure out which ones aren't from the Bible by deduction of the quotations that you know came from another source. Besides, even with knowing quite a bit of the Bible I still found it tricky myself, and I did worse than I thought I would have.

Anyways, if anyone else wants to try it (without googling!), go ahead. I know the answers now, so I'll post them later if anybody's interested. And as an extra challenge for the true Bible thumpers: also give the book, chapter, and verse of the ones that are Bible passages. (Cat, maybe?)

Also, if you recognize any of the non-biblical quotations, see if you can determine where they're from as well. Most are either from important historic literature or from quotations of famous persons/authors but which are not found in their own written works. Others are adages or proverbs from particular countries or eras, and even a few English proverbs that aren't specified. One is also a motto.

While you do get a bit of sleep every night and sometimes leave the house, you spend as much time as you can online. You usually have a browser, chat clients, server consoles, and your email on auto check open at all times. Phone? What's that? You plan your social events by contacting your friends online. Just be careful you don't get a repetitive wrist injury...

20 Questions to a Better Personality

You are a SRDF--Sober Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a Fountain of Knowledge.

You are cool, analytical, intelligent and completely unfunny. Sometimes you slice through conversation with a cutting observation that causes silence and sidelong glances. You make a strong and lasting impression on everyone you meet, the quality of which depends more on their personality than yours.

You may feel persecuted, as you can become a target for fun. Still, you are focused enough on your work and secure enough in your abilities not to worry overly.

You are productive and invaluable to those you work for. You are loyal, steadfast, and conscientious. Your grooming is impeccable. You are in good shape.

You are kind of a tool, but you get things done. You are probably a week away from snapping.

Addendum, 2004/07/19: this fits me 99%, there is a slight inaccuracy however. We are not necessarily completely unfunny. If we have a sense of humor (I do) it surfaces on the occasion with well-timed, completely dry, very sarcastic, wit. - Chase

What Colour are your Anime eyes?


Red! Your eyes are red! You're a very distant person, and you tend to hunger for power. In a Manga, you'd be the sexy evil villan. Nothing wrong with that, although you may want to think about toning down the killing.

20 Questions to a Better Personality

You are a SRDL--Sober Rational Destructive Leader. This makes you a Mob Boss.

You are the ultimate alpha person and even your friends give you your space. You can't stand whiners, weaklings, schlemiels or schlemozzles. You don't make many jokes, but when you do, others laugh out loud. They must.

People often turn to you for advice, and wisely. You are calm in a crisis, cautious in a tempest, and attuned to even the finest details. Yours is the profile of a smart head for business and a dangerous enemy.

You have a natural knack for fashion and occupy a suit like a matinee idol. Your charisma is striking and without artifice. You are generous, thoughtful, and appreciate life's finer things.

Please don't kick my ass.

I think I'm more of a mixture between WEDF, SRDL and SECL

Purple! You have purple eyes! You're a dreamer, artist, poet, whatever. You enjoy all forms of art and literature, and tend to be quite good at creating them as well.

I reached the 7th Level of Hell

[Jeysie]

Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis

You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

You seem to have a Type B personality. Your personality draws characteristics from each of the other personality types, that is, Type A and Type C. Either you adjust your behavior depending on the situation, or you tend to be moderated in your attitudes. In any case, you are the most balanced of the three personality types.
