#1 I got 41. "If everyone lived as you, we would need 9.3 planets."

So, can I get a job at Haliburton?

#2 Damn, only 5.3 planets. I'll have to talk the wife into getting that humongous SUV with the gas-guzzling V8.

#3 I liked the nice green background color. That was the most interesting part. 22 acres / 5 planets. Color me tickled pink, lol!

#4 Footprint: 54 acres, 12.1 planets. And I don't give a fat rat's ass, either.

#5 Everytime I see something like this, it makes me start to wonder what hippies taste like. I mean, assuming you washed them once or twice. Seems like we could cut down on the acreage needed by processing this whackos for their meat.

#7 Odyssey 2001: "All these worlds are yours except Europa".

So, I don't worry. ;-)

#8 WooHoo! 100 acres, 22.6 planets. I gotta get out and do more mudding. Now if they only had a more realistic selection for air travel. Only 100 hours a year? Pshaw.

#12 Guess I'm average (scored a 23, the U.S. average is 24)! Man, I need to strive more too! I don't like being average!

#13 I got a 19 and use 4.3 planets worth o' stuff. How did I, who eats meat for every meal, score lower than mucky the vegetarian? What're you driving, mucky? An Escalade?

#14 Dave D. and ed: I'm not worthy to compete against you (I only got a 6). I'm surely in the presence of greatness.

#15 Xb - ROFL!!!

#16 BH, 19 and 4.3 for me and Connie the Short Bus Lady, too. There were no questions about how many and what kind of animals a person has. Horses take a lot of land. We actually have 11.3 acres at the Deacon Blues Pork Palace, Potables Parlour, and Home for Wayward Animals and Women. I would also like to know how electricity consumption was factored in.

#17 3.1 Planets.
Walking to works seems to be a big factor. I still say we need more planets.

#18 39 Acres - 8.8 Planets.

There were no questions on beer consumption. If factored in I'm sure I'd need double that acreage for barley and hop production. Another 9 planets for the nectar of the God? Sounds about right.

#19 I just love it when they denote certain fields as optional (zip and e-mail) and when you decline to fill them in they say they are required. They can kiss my ass.

#20 I forgot exactly what my "score" was, but I was just below the so-called average. But if everybody was as smart as me, we'd have 4.8 more planets! And that makes just about as much sense as "if everyone used as much (fill-in-the-blank) as you do..."

If frogs had wings, they'd be pigeons©.

#21 3.1 planets. Good for entertainment, but that's about it for me.

#22 Sh*t! Don't I get any credit for re-cycling?
Dammit! If I don't get any credit for it, I quit!

#23 This quiz is biased against billionaire senators; it was designed merely to embarass me in front of my tree-hugging voters. Karl Rove created this quiz. When I was in Vietnam, I never had to worry about this sort of thing. Really! Don't they know who I am?

#24 44 acres required for my big behind!

#25 "Dave D. and ed: I'm not worthy to compete against you (I only got a 6). I'm surely in the presence of greatness."

Thanks, Xbalanke; that brought tears to my eyes.

#26 60, 13.4 planets. You guys gotta start eating more meat.

#27 But everybody doesn't live like me, and if they try to I'll nuke 'em. Natural selection at work.

#28 Way cool! 5.5 planets!

NASA better get busy and develop an FTL drive so we can start colonizing! Let's start with the Moon, Mars, Titan, Europa, Iapetus (no, wait, according to Hoagland that's a spaceship), heck, let's throw a colony out to Pluto and another one on Mercury for unique property metals of opposite temperature ranges!

Gods, these people are stupid, naive, and intransigent in their views that WE'RE ALL GONNA' DIE AND IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT!!!

Gimme' a gun. I gotta' go hunting...
