So, you think you know me? - A quiz

owen

I don't remember where I saw this, but sometime recently I passed by a nice little Flash quiz that tested how well you knew the person about whom the test was crafted.

Well, I don't have to time to assemble a nice Flash quiz today, so you'll just have to do your own scoring.  Some of the answers to these questions might be found by searching the site.  Maybe you should use the search box and see if you find anything else interesting.

This quiz should be an exercise in randomness for those that don't know me.
