The other day I wrote one of those time-killing quizzes for the web empire Buzzfeed.<\/p>\n

This is what it looked like:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will you be murdered by a robot?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

1. Do you think you\u2019re better than a robot?<\/p>\n

A. Yes<\/p>\n

B. No.<\/p>\n

C. Hard to say, it really depends on the robot.<\/p>\n

D. Generally, yes, but very specifically, no.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Would you ever consider marrying a robot?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes, absolutely!<\/p>\n

B. No, marriage is a union between two animate beings.<\/p>\n

C. I\u2019m very curious about robots.<\/p>\n

D. Been there, done that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Do you take public transit?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes, I ride the subway everyday.<\/p>\n

B. Occasionally, but it\u2019s not a habit.<\/p>\n

C. I believe that the subway is a robot snake that lives underground devouring commuters.<\/p>\n

D. Never.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Do you think 9\/11 was an inside job?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes! I mean, come on, Building #7!<\/p>\n

B. No, it was the terrorists, and they\u2019re definitely not robots!<\/p>\n

C. The Illuminati are robot gods from the future.<\/p>\n

D. Robots worked tirelessly in the aftermath of the tragedy of 9\/11! They’re heroes!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Do robots hate you for your freedom?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes, they really resent humans for enslaving them!<\/p>\n

B. No, robots can\u2019t feel emotions, so they don\u2019t know anger or jealousy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Do you like to watch robots fight?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes, it\u2019s entirely awesome!<\/p>\n

B. No, I think it\u2019s barbaric and should be outlawed.<\/p>\n

C. First rule: There is no fight club.<\/p>\n

D. Rock \u2018Em Sock \u2018Em Robots was my favourite game as a kid.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Feeling curious and maybe a little bit excited, have you ever ventured into Robot Town late at night?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes, but I didn\u2019t do anything.<\/p>\n

B. Yes, but it was part of a stag party.<\/p>\n

C. Yes, quite a bit.<\/p>\n

D. No, I didn\u2019t even know that there was a Robot Town.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. If a robot had a favourite National Hockey League team, what do you think it would be?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n

B. Minnesota Wild.<\/p>\n

C. Robots wouldn\u2019t watch hockey, I can\u2019t even pretend.<\/p>\n

D. Toronto Maple Leafs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. When referring to something you think is \u201cstupid,\u201d do you often say, \u201cThat\u2019s just so robot!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes.<\/p>\n

B. No.<\/p>\n

C. Probably in the past, but not now.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. Do you currently socialize with any robots?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. A robot and I were great pen pals, but then I had to block it after things got weird with the Snapchat pics.<\/p>\n

B. I joined a Choir! Choir! Choir! group that has several robot members.<\/p>\n

3. No, robots are tools that aid my life, not friends!<\/p>\n

4. I like to watch the robot that lives across the street, but I am too shy to introduce myself.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

11. Do you have a robot taxiderimist?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A. Yes.<\/p>\n

B. No.<\/p>\n

C. Only for my owls.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Give yourself 10 points for every answer that corresponds with A, 7 points for B, 5 points for C, and 1 point for D.<\/p>\n

If you scored 60 points or above it is a certainty that a robot will murder you. Repeated blunt trauma is the most likely method by which the robot will kill you, although the possibility that it uses knives or crossbows is still very much in play.<\/p>\n

If you totalled between 35 and 60 points, it is very likely you will be murdered by a robot, just like the rest of humanity.<\/p>\n

If you scored between 25 and 35 points, it is more likely that you will die from non-robot-related causes than be murdered by a robot. However, your death remains inevitable, and you should avoid public transit if at all possible.<\/p>\n

If you tallied less than 25 points, you probably won\u2019t be murdered by a robot, but will likely perish at your own hand, as do nearly 80% of Toronto Maple Leaf fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
