With the proliferation of "What _____ are you?" webpages, you knew this one was coming. I figured I'd share it here since most of us seem to really identify with Office Space.http://maybe-someday.com/victoria/thequiz.htmlI matched up with Michael Bolton. Almost forgot to mention: If you're curious how the page determines what character you are, the source reveals the complex javascript algorithm they're using.  --"I'm always doing that. I'm always messing up some mundane detail."Edited by - nlocklin on 02/11/2002 22:17:21 |

 I think we may end up with a few Michael Boltons.quote:

I guess it's safe to say that you don't celebrate the guy's whole collection? You have something better for your money than when he sings "When a Man Loves a Woman"? Personally, I think I'm a big mix of Michael Bolton, Samir, and Peter. Some of the questions I could have gone either way on. I have Samir's road rage (I even hit my steering wheel that same way sometimes), Peter's burning desire to do absolutely nothing (although I would have picked two chicks at the same time if that was an option), and Michael Bolton's attitude toward his work and his company.--"I'm always doing that. I'm always messing up some mundane detail." |

| Well unfortunately, the poor girl who has the website has had to delete the whole page (with some other things.) Apparently, just a mere 12 days into the month she's gone one gig over her three gig per month data transfer limit. (160 dollar bill to boot also.)Ouch.----------------------"O Theos mou!

Actually he's also the third of the three tech geeks in the movie. I think that's who the quiz was referring to when they said someone was Michael Bolton. The fact that he has the same name as the singer is used as the basis for numerous jokes.===============================================Creating tomorrow's legacy systems today.One crisis at a time. |

Wow, that stinks. Fortunately, there are several sites now that archive web sites, so that nothing really ever disappears from the World Wide Web anymore. Here's a link to a copy of the site on archive.org (no graphics, but it works):http://web.archive.org/web/20020202011938/http://maybe-someday.com/victoria/thequiz.htmlWhoops, just noticed the forum software doesn't like having a second http in there. Just cut and paste that text into your browser window I guess.--"I'm always doing that. I'm always messing up some mundane detail." |
