I caught this literature quiz from k425...

Dr. Who? (perfect!) Take that, Mrs. McGreevey! You scored 280 of 290!

Hey, who smuggled in the lit prof? You're a master of belles lettres, a giant among lesser minds, or else you're really good with your browser's back button and Norton's Anthologies. In any case, you've got either the memory or the skills you need to inflict massive literary damage on unsuspecting friends . . . Lay on, MacDuff! And damned be he that first cries, 'Hold, Enough!'

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on litpoints

Incidentally, they've misquoted one Shakespeare play ("... such stuff as dreams are made on," please) and misnamed another ("The Winter's Tale" is the play, "A Winter's Tale" is a song by Queen, for heaven's sake). Not that I have nothing better to do than exercise pointless pedantry, or anything.

Queen -- or indeed David Essex ;)

I only got 90 points, which also seemed to be quite good, though nothing close to the dizzy heights you scaled. (In my defence, the last time I touched English Literature was over 20 years ago.)
