I don’t have any money! – Jose Villalobos, to disguised cops
The great singer-songwriter Bill Withers died late last week at the age of 81; this seemed like the most appropriate of his songs with which to honor his passing. The news and video came courtesy of Scott Greenfield; the links above it were provided by Kevin Wilson, Elizabeth Nolan Brown, Jesse Walker, Tim Cushing, Liz Brown again, and Mike Siegel, in that order.

I don’t think I trust that personality test much. Some of the characteristics shown at opposite ends of their sliding scales aren’t really opposites. The worst example would be the scale that had ‘Artistic’ and ‘Scientific’ on opposite ends. Most people who know me would rank me very high on both of those. (Makes you wonder if the test creators have ever heard of Leonardo da Vinci.)
But I guess it’s still an improvement over every other personality test I’ve ever seen.
The best match it provided for me (ignoring the characters I’ve never heard of) was Arthur Weasley, followed by Leonard from the Big Bang Theory. I definitely have similarities to both, but I’m not sure I’m that close.
It does say I’m 74% match for Luna Lovegood. I do like that one.
