How easily can you be persuaded to surrender personal information in return for meaningless quiz results?

I've just about had it with quizzes. Can we move on to some other gimmick? Maybe a video game where I try to type my SSN in backwards as fast as possible for meaningless points?

China


We're back from China, with pictures. It may take a day or two for us to get comments on most of the pictures. Briefly, the pictures are more or less in chronological order. We started in Shanghai. Next we flew to Hunan province, where we saw the fantastical landscape of Zhangjiajie, then the historic river town of Fenghuang and then the provincial capital of Changsha to visit family. We ended with a few days in Beijing mostly seeing the standard sites but also getting off the beaten path.
