    I got -2,580.

    I'm a black, intersex, gay, transgender, Jewishy person from the Middle East. I'm also a homeless, disfigured and blind scientist....also a midget!

    Is that bad? That's bad isn't it?

    While I'm all for considering your privilege and your situation and trying to be emphatic for anyone who doesn't have your privilege/situation, that test is far too broad to be anything other than stupid.

    I hate being a poor, black, homeless, disfigured, blind, transsexual, gay, Muslim from the Middle East. And my job as a scientist, that's the worst part.

    Is a croke the collective name for Bulls? I would have thought it should be a herd of bulls but maybe not...

    You can name it if you like. Something classy, like...I dunno....'The Truffle Pig Centre for people who aren't the right type of anything club'? For midgets, of course.

    In fairness, Dad still pays my phone bill, rent and gives me €200 a week 'mad money'.

    We could team up for a movie like the expendables. Maybe 'The Unfortunates'?
