Know your 'Simpsons' characters? Candy bars? Quiz yourself

I'll likely be giving up Multi-link Monday as we transition to a group blog. It may not be a regular weekly thing, but I'll still throw in a good time-waster link or two now and then.

For now, how about an all-quiz edition?

• Which superhero are you? I'm Superman. Hmm. I guess I should be flattered, but I was rooting for Wonder Woman.

• Which supervillain are you? I'm Dr. Doom, followed closely by Lex Luthor. Awesome.



• Can you name all these "Simpsons" characters? Just type...they don't need to be in the order the photos are shown. And you don't always need full names. How could I forget the Simpsons family doctor's name? I really wanted to type "Cliff Huxtable." (If you want more quizzes like this, you've got plenty to choose from on this list, including Johnny Depp movies, "Star Trek" characters and more.)

• While we're on a "Simpsons" kick: Troy McClure film, or actual movie?

• Can you identify these candy bars from cross-section photographs? (Thanks to Paige for that link.) Here's the original candy bar quiz, too, from my own Minnesota Science Museum. I am ashamed at how well I did on these two.

Multi-link Monday was the only day I actually looked forward to your column.  I'd be disappointed to see it go.

Gael, please please PLEASE don't stop doing MLM's...  I don't always get to them on Mondays, but I always look forward to them.  Sometimes I ration out the links for the rest of the week.  My coworkers are amazed at some of the links that I show them and all wonder where I came across them at.

I LOVE MLM-please keep it around.  It's a fun way to start my week.  I really missed it while you were on maternity leave.

Emily, Washington (Sent Monday, June 30, 2008 7:53 PM)

I'm Dr. Doom, too! Always a flattering look, for a woman!

I'm venom and Superman. The Troy McClure quiz was great. I wish Phil Hartman was still around to be on that show.

Mike F, Schaumburg, IL (Sent Monday, June 30, 2008 9:51 PM)

I hope the "group blog" thing doesn't mean we'll be hearing less of your voice overall and I looooove MLMs!  We had to go so long without them (and you) while you were out on leave, don't deprive us again.

(And I'm Spider-Man (superhero) and Venom (supervillan) Which makes a kind of twisted sense)

Please keep MLM, I love it and would miss it greatly.  I am glad its back.  I know you are busy, but this is one thing I look forward to each week.

By the way - I am also Superman.

Please keep MLM!! It is my favorite part of this blog!

Megan, Des Moines (Sent Tuesday, July 01, 2008 5:29 PM)

Please don't get rid of MLM it is my favorite part of the week.  I enjoy looking at it before work...helps me get through the day!

AGS, NE (Sent Tuesday, July 01, 2008 10:43 PM)

MLM rocks!!!!!!  I am not sure I can survive w/o MLM.....I made it through your Maternity Leave (barely), and now you are taking it away for good?  Oh where is the love?  Please re-think your insanity!

Melissa St. Louis, MO (Sent Wednesday, July 02, 2008 10:24 AM)

I have limited internet access at my job but the moment I go home I look up Multi-Link Mondays and I absolutely love them! If we all post our love for MLM will you consider keeping them? I hope so :)

Jessica, Southern California (Sent Wednesday, July 02, 2008 1:17 PM)

I'm Superman, too.  Go figure.

I'll echo everyone else - please don't take away our MLM :(  It would make me sad not to have these time-wasters available.  They're always so entertaining!
