'Tis a sample of unusual inquiry.

Internet person and creator of webcomic xkcd Randall Munroe wants to know how you feel about food, if you will write the word “cat,” and your favorite number on a scale of 1 to 5. He’s created a survey without a purpose. Well, there’s the loose goal of generating interesting and unusual responses. The questions are straightforward, or strange, or non-sequitur. It is the less insane, less nihilistic cousin of a Clickhole quiz.

The more people who take it, the more data points there are to amuse ourselves with — and it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes — so hop on over to this Google doc to fill out the quiz.
