Why would the Bible talk about the planet that Angron and Ghaz invaded?

Because the Bible predates WH40k by a very large margin?

Jesus had the best painted Khorne Bezerkers evah.

Interesting. Apparently I speak like someone from Florida. Jacksonville and Miami. Go Jaguars/Dolphins?

I got North East Texas, which North West Louisiana (Shreveport) pretty much is.

And the correct answer for a generic carbonated beverage is Coke.

Only if it's dark brown in color. You can't call a Sprite a Coke.

Yeah, kronk. That's just silly. It seems an encyclopedic knowledge of how to woo the ladies does not extend to perfectly understanding soda pop vernacular.

Yes. Virginians know that means it's sunny & raining...

Sure they do:
"I'd like a Coke."
"OK, what kind?"
"Sprite."

The Hwangster is 100% accurate on both counts.
"What kind of coke do you want?"
"Pepsi."
"coming right up."

Having lived all sorts of places, the quiz places me in NYC. Which is a little amusing, as that was only 5 years of my life, and it was all upstate...

I got New York, Boston and Providence.

My most distinctive answer for all three is that I pronounce Mary, marry and merry differently to each other.

My least similar and the answers which are least distinctive of those areas are Des Moines (no word for night before halloween), Little Rock (first syllable of lawyer rhymes with boy, I can't even make myself say it with the first syllable rhyming with flaw it just sounds so wrong! ) and Springfield (firefly).

Out of int erst, how do you pronounce them? Because they are all the same to me.

You'd fit in well in the north of England. Had a friend at Uni from Yorkshire and she said them all the same, too

Mary is mare, as in the word for a female horse, with "ee" added afterwards, it rhymes with hairy or canary. Marry rhymes with Harry, parry or carry. And merry rhymes with Jerry, berry etc.

Ummm, what about taking the fairy Mary down to the dairy where she has to choose to marry Larry, Gary or Barry and then a very merry Terry gets with Perry down in Derry?

For myself, I pronounce Mary one way, and marry and merry the same.... The difference is, when saying something like Mary got married last weekend and it was a merry affair... the 'A' in Mary is slightly more emphasized/pronounced than it is in marry or merry.

Also, how long until DINLT comes in to tell us about how the English speaking countries of the world are separated by a common language?

That was fun. And yeah, it pegged me as either NY, Yonkers or Jersey so obviously it's 100% accurate

Still, "The devil is beating his wife"? Does anyone actually say that?

I got Columbus, Lincoln and ... oddly enough Akron. Akron is just right up the road from me. Pretty interesting.

Also, who calls a Rolly Polly a centipede?

You find these whenever you pick up an old piece of wood or something in the back yard.

We used them milk bugs. Certain times of year they will flood the back porch. TBone the Magnificant would have a grand old time and eat them until he burst, then he would purposefully step on all the rest.

I've always known them as "Roly Poly Pillbugs".
I love those little guys. I used to keep them as pets when I was a kid.
