Here it is.

This Monty Python sketch should be required viewing for bloggers, lawyers, and theologians:

Andy Crouch highlights the “Generation-X Aptitude Test” on Culture Making:

The first question on the GXAT [Generation X Aptitude Test, better known as the G-zat] is this:

1. Do you want to change the world?

A. Yes, and I’m proud to say we did it, man. We changed the world. Just look around you!

B.
Yes, absolutely, and I promise I will get back to doing that just as
soon as interest rates return to where they’re supposed to be.

C. Omigod, omigod, changing the world and helping people is, like, totally important to me! I worked in a soup kitchen once and it was so sad but the poor people there had so much dignity!

D.
The way you phrase that question is so . . . cheesy and absurd that I
am not even sure I want to continue with this pointless exercise.

That’s the only question on the GXAT.

  Yes, this is the real deal.  According to the National Counterterroism Center’s website, “[t]his edition, like others since the Calendar was first published in a
daily planner format in 2003, contains useful information across a wide
range of terrorism-related topics: terrorist groups, wanted terrorists,
and technical pages on various threat-related issues. The Calendar
marks dates according to the Gregorian and Islamic calendars, and
contains significant dates in terrorism history, as well as dates that
terrorists may believe are important when planning
“commemoration-style” attacks.”

I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art recently, and I was amazed to see that they had this very accurate portrait of what happens between my wife and I each morning when I leave for work:
