When you look at the raw code, the http should end with "images/hummel.jpg", instead of "images/careless.jpg." I had to view-source on the results page.
I think the other must not even be related to the hummel quiz at all.
It wasn't lazy HTML, that's how I intended it. Did you read the text of the quiz code you posted here? You're saying my code's lazy, which is ironic, given what happened when you pasted the html right into your journal.
Yeah, I figured it out. I chose not to delete it, even after figuring it out because I don't delete things. But thanks for stopping by to point that out!
Forgive me, by the way, for not realising that your great joke on TEH INTARWEB was to put what does appear to be shitty code into a quiz that people are taking for fun and no other reason.
If you truly hate people that much to make this some kind of very large joke that about five percent of people will get, then I hope you got some satisfaction out of it. Unfortunately, I think you might need to try harder - perhaps by making the computers used to take your quizzes blow up. Most people that you've pointed this out to probably didn't get it until you did so, and it's so hard to get satisfaction out of that sort of "D'oh!" moment. After all, that sort of prank is usually only amusing if you actually know the people you've pranked - otherwise, you can assume that the people who've not noticed have the IQ of strained spinach and you've omg triumphed over them with your 1337 intarweb skillz, yo.
Or perhaps not. I don't create quizzes with humourously wrong results pictures, so maybe that's a lot of fun for you.
Yeah. I tend to get annoyed when people I don't know track me down to point out that there was irony intended in an internet quiz, especially since at first blush the error does really just look like shitty code. And given the number of comments I've got from people I've never heard of, I think that person brought friends.
No, they brought themselves. I didn't tell them to post anything. Actually I'd nearly prefer they didn't, and to avoid that I typically wouldn't share the link and only describe the situation without any identifying info...but I decided the blow-up was too entertaining to keep to myself.
Yeah, that sort of thing often happens when you post direct links. I posted your page, though, after I noticed that, so we'll see if the people I know can restrain themselves better. Also, in the most recent post of mine, there's an explanation for why those comment links don't show up in your screencap - namely, they're animated.
Or horrible CSS. Or, hell, Microsoft. Let's blame Microsoft. I think that works. They're black with a white animated outline, so depending on what browser you use, they won't show up. Of course, I like things that are evil, so I use IE and that works.
No. Because I figured it out before spinn stopped by to point out that it wasn't lazy code. But it doesn't really matter to me if you believe that or not. I'm well aware that the fact that I didn't blog it the instant I realised that the code was a joke makes it hard to prove that I did or did not realise it before spinn came around.
Those two posts are a great read. Such a contrast. It's like, "This is your Livejournal. This is your Livejournal on a PCP binge after a really bad breakup. Any questions?" You could use this as an anti-drug campaign poster.
I can't believe you people are stupid enough to not be able to get the joke. The joke is, you don't get the figurine you were matched with. I don't get the need to post these quiz results anyway. I mean, what if you could take the MMPI online and it told you that you're a sociopath in training and should be in a mental hospital the rest of your life? Would you display the results so proudly? I think getting so upset over the fact that you got code that was a joke and you couldn't get the joke shows you really do need to get a life.
A.) I got the joke without having my hand held to figure it out. Haha, funny, didn't need to blog it.
B.) You're the one coming around here. I didn't friend you, you didn't friend me, you don't have to read my journal. Who's the one who needs a life? Christ on a crutch.
In other words, I'm talking about taking some personal responsibility and choosing whether or not you actually want to see what someone else says. I didn't bring you here; you came here of your own will. Therefore, don't tell me what to say in my journal.
However, having done so, you leave yourself open to whatever I choose to say in response. But what, really, can I say to the person who misspells Clytemnestra (and if it was taken, you might want to consider a different name, love) and doesn't, apparently, have more than one person on the entire internet who meets her stringent criteria for journals she'd like to read?

Yeah, that about covers it. For now.
