Test your knowledge of gross natural stuff [here](http://encarta.msn.com/quiz_134/Gross-Out_Quiz.html). I scored 7/9, which means that my knowledge of gross things is simply revolting. How gross are you? ---

7/9. Strange…I thought I was much more disgusting than that. Although I am proud to be labeled “revolting”. 🆒 ---

Man, only 6/9. You know, there’s a fundamental problem here - these tests about how disgusting you are really only measure your ability to take tests about how disgusting you are. You know, when they teach you to be disgusting, they only teach you what you need to know to get more funding for the school, not essential disgusting life-skills. I know for a fact that there are thousands and thousands of kids in this country who are more disgusting than their test scores would let on, but they never get recognized for it simply because they don’t have something to put on your resume. It gets worse too; recruiters only look for test scores when considering candidates, not at the person below. This is an institutionalized system designed to hold an entire socioeconomic class down! STOP THIS INJUSTICE FROM HAPPENING, CALL YOUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD AND COMPLAIN. ---

9/9 I am shocked. Just because I know about mushrooms. And tapeworms. And stinky flowers. And can estimate things about Rats and Elephants that makes me gross? Surely not, I cry fowl. Going back to watch the fly-trap video, I missed that. . . ---
