The Lou Test, or:

So, You Thought You Knew Lou, Eh?

(Windows XP version)

Now those of you who know me, or who think you know me, may want to test that knowledge now by taking the test here. You may also leave a message any time by clicking here. If you took this test some months ago, don't feel so smug---more 30% of these questions have been at least partially altered since 2002, and a couple of small changes were made in 2005. NOW see how well you know me! (Of course, if too many of you do too well, this test will be changed again!)

And yes, I did invent the term "angloo"!
