Take The Quiz!
I have no idea why this ranks your dirtiness but I can’t say no to an internet quiz. So far the top score is held by me with a dirty dirty ranking of 350.60, followed closely by Dan with 340. These can easily be out done by you overachievers out there.

Well, I’ll be the first to share on the blog. We’re a family, right?
My score is 120, but it would be 195 if I decided that I had been in love with two people at the same time and that I sayed I loved someone but didn’t mean it, because that whole “i love you” crap, when looking back, you’re never exactly sure how much you really liked/loved somone.

Good points all, Andrea, and that’s a pretty impressive spread in the two scores. My score is something like 310+/- 25, which is maybe reassuring? Can anybody beat Nick’s 560?

I got 340 or 390 depending on whether drinking in our lab lunch is “got drunk at work”
but anyway i’m kind of dirty -.-

Chris just did the quiz. He received a score of 305.50.

Wow, this is really an incriminating thing. I’m taking the 5th.

I’m having trouble being dirtier than Qun or Michael, much less Nick. But at least, I’m dirtier than Chris!
Wait a minute… Why is that a good thing again?
Darn it! Defeated by my own overanalysis! Again!
Worst. Mad. Scientist. Ever.

looks like the 0.5 or 0.6 score can reveal your answers to two specific questions….hoho, so in a way we know what Paul and Chris did

1110.60
or at least, that’s the score that you’d have if you checked every box. That would be a bit of a wild life though.
Let me reflect on a few of my favorites…
Sex with someone on myspace/facebook? Given our techno-savvy, pretty much all of us get points for this.
Sex with a Puerto Rican? Why exactly is this dirty? We aren’t sharks and jets.
Been jumped? Again, why does that make you dirty?
Kissed someone you didn’t know? Qun is right, this is is a traceable one.
Then there are a whole string of things that should really be part of a healthy sexual relationship, hardly dirty though.
I like the question about stealing something over $100. How many people out there have a copy of photoshop? That’s $300 right there.
(I have a copy that isn’t exactly pirated, but it sort of a gray area.)
And then peeing in the pool. Seriously, everyone who’s score doesn’t end in .5 or .6 is claiming to have never done that? I call all of you liars.

I got a 180.
(not counting stealing software, which would make it 200)
Is that lame??
And I have never peed in a pool!

If one goes with the broader definitions of certain things (such as on the software question), I get up to 345. But some of these things give me ideas…
As for the pee in the pool question, I honestly don’t recal ever doing that, but who knows. I may have been 2 or something if such a thing occured and just can’t remember.
This is tempting me to find the crazy complete purity test I took a long while back in undergrad, but then again its probably not a good idea as it deliniates by category of depravity thus possibly giving away to much of the mystery.

Definitely peed in a pool before. Y’all who say otherwise obviously never went swimming as a child.
