I only missed three answers which is pretty good since I wasn't alive for most of them.

I even got number 11 right even though the question is wrong. Bob Dylan didn't say it. I thought it was Abby Hoffman but that was wrong also, it was Jack Weinberg who originally said that.

Sorry to say I only missed #6. :o

also sorry to say I knew the rest so well that as I read the posts and looked back to what question the number referred to, I only had to look at the answer block. :o :o

Why do I do so well only on the tests I don't want to do well on? :hair:

What does it say about me that I missed nary a one...especially considering I'm maybe a little younger than many who missed 1 or 2?

I'm with jude on one item, I had always heard "Don't trust anyone over 30" attributed to Abbie Hoffman, tho I have no prob believing he may have lifted it from someone else (he did write "Steal This Book!")...in Abbie's obit, it was mentioned that when he supposedly said it, he was already *one who shouldn't be trusted* ;)
