This didn't ask what I usually had for breakfast; it asked which one appealed to me most. There was no way I was choosing oatmeal.
You Are a Hearty Breakfast |
 You are down to earth and mild mannered. You don't tend to make a fuss. You can be a bit stubborn at times. You know what you like, and you don't tend to change your mind. You like to stay in your comfort zone. You don't really like surprises or change much. You aren't complacent... you're just practical. Why mess with what works? |
From Neatorama:
There are some inventions and inventors you just grow up knowing about – Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone, Thomas Edison and the lightbulb (even though he really just improved upon it). But there are a lot of inventions lurking out there that you didn’t learn about in your elementary school history and science books – inventions from geniuses known for other creations and discoveries, and inventions from people you didn’t expect to be inventors at all. Here are a few of them.
This is a fascinating article. Among the inventions: Marlon Brando had patents to tune drums, Thoreau invented raisin bread, Margaret Thatcher helped invent soft serve ice cream and Zeppo Marx owned the company that built the clamps that held the atomic bomb in the Enola Gay.
Unexpected Inventions from Unexpected People
Who reads which paper:
1. The Wall Street Journal is read by the people who run the country.
2. The Washington Post is read by people who think they run the country.
3. The New York Times is read by people who think they should run the country and who are very good at crossword puzzles.
4. USA Today is read by people who think they ought to run the country but don't really understand The New York Times. They do, however, like their statistics shown in pie charts.
5. The Los Angeles Times is read by people who wouldn't mind running the country -- if they could find the time -- and if they didn't have to leave Southern California to do it.
6. The Boston Globe is read by people whose parents used to run the country and did a poor job of it, thank you very much.
7. The New York Daily News is read by people who aren't too sure who's running the country and don't really care as long as they can get a seat on the train.
8. The New York Post is read by people who don't care who is running the country, as long as they do something really scandalous, preferably while intoxicated.
9. The Miami Herald is read by people who are running another country but need the baseball scores.
10. The San Francisco Chronicle is read by people who aren't sure if there is a country or that anyone is running it; but if so, they oppose all that they stand for. There are occasional exceptions if the leaders are handicapped minority feminist atheist dwarfs who also happen to be illegal aliens from any other country, or galaxy, provided of course, that they are not Republicans.
11. The National Enquirer is read by people trapped in line at the grocery store.

According to the comments below the article and analyzer, this thing is pretty accurate. As is often the case, I bring down the average.

I had just checked angieslist after seeing an advert on TV (no listings for this area) and had plugged in "wiley" into the address bar to check the spelling for a previous post. (It's spelled "wily", duh) I had also checked the Mega Millions site because I had a ticket for the $200 million+ jackpot. (and as hard as it was to get into the site, so did 200 million other people) The rest of the sites I visit nearly every day.
My results:
Likelihood of you being FEMALE is 54%
Likelihood of you being MALE is 46%
So I guess this means if I want to get in touch with my feminine side, I won't have to go very far.
