What's with all the Facebook quizzes?

Just wondering - how many of them are there actually? I've been clicking the 'Hide' button on the homepage for quite a while now, to hide all the FB quizzes and still a bunch of new ones appear everyday. It's guaranteed. Both them appearing on my homepage and me hiding them, that is. But I get a kick out of seeing them too, I must admit. I mean, there are people with all kinds of imagination - I can tell that just by looking at the kind of topics they choose for these friggin' quizzes.

I saw one the other day that tells you how well you would survive a zombie invasion! How cool is that, knowing in advance whether you should run or fight back when there is a zombie invasion. Note that I didn't say "if and when". Why would I? If FB says, it must be true right? There are zombie invasions - you can not convince me otherwise no matter what. Then another one says whether I'll marry from an arranged marriage or a love affair. I can only imagine what people in love would go through if they happen to get the result that they will marry from an arranged marriage. Oh well, maybe they can arrange their marriage and be done with. There is a clear loophole. Then there's another one that tells you whether you attract good guys or bad boys. All good for the fairer sex, but I didn't even think of taking that one. It's a no-win situation for a guy, except if you're gay. Maybe the one who put that up could be gay for all we know. That reminds me that there was another one titled How gay are you?. God! But the things doesn't stop there. Another one says if you'd make a better man or a woman. Holy tolido! So are we supposed to change sex if it says we're in the wrong side? Jeez.

In case you're in doubt, there is one that helps you to find out that if your better half loves you as much as you love them. It's the end of cheating guys. And girls. Beware! The madness doesn't stop. There is some kind of chocolate calculator that tells me my age. WTF? Maybe we should make all the ladies take the quiz while that 'Truth Meter' thing fixed to their heads. That'll help. There's more. How addicted to FB are you? Yeah right. As if we didn't know. How common is your birthday and How common is your name! Surely a jobless statistics graduate. Another one tells me how confident I am. Too bad I wasn't confident enough to take that quiz. But you could always try How cool are you?. How cool is it to be judged cool by a cool FB quiz? But there are apparently jobless doctors too - who else can come up with a How good is your medical knowledge? That follows by a How lazy are you? Oh I don't need FB to tell me that - mom's been telling that all the time. But it also lets you know other important things such as how many people have a crush on you. It's only good it doesn't tell you that who has a crush on you. Otherwise things could get a lot messier and the girls might run out of shoes. Apparently, every FB user is going to be famous someday, in case you didn't know. Worry not people your time is coming. Just take the quiz. It says how you're going to be famous. Doesn't say whether you're going to be famous at all. So I came to the earlier conclusion. Cool eh?

Things get weirder when you take the three quizzes When will you get married, At which age will you die and How many times will you marry. Apparently I'm going to get married at the age of 46 and end up marrying three times.

The only glitch is I'm going to die before I marry.
