Following in the footsteps of [orac](http://scienceblogs.com/insolence) and [PZ](http://www.scienceblogs.com/pharyngula) among others of my fellow SBers, I've taken the survey to find out which historical lunatic I am. And I must say, I'm pleased with the results!
Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.
I've actually had a fondness for Emperor Norton since I first learned of him by way of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic. He was a silly, nutty old guy, but remarkable for his good nature, humor, and general goofy eccentricity. Something about his particular kind of nuttiness actually made me feel an affinity for him.
So just call me the Math Geek Emperor of ScienceBlogs from now on!

C'mon. You knew I'd fall prey to temptation, didn't you?
No. I am Emperor Norton of the United States. You must be an impostor Math Geek Emperor.
I ate at his pizza place in San Jose last year...
You just made me think of a new online quiz: "which member of the Endless are you?"
Oh, zut alors. It already exists, and is laden with pop-up ads to boot.
By the way, I'm Dream and Pope Stephen VII (or possibly VI).
If you're really Emperor Norton, then you should know that San Francisco has a parade in your honor every year on your birthday. You may wish to attend....
:o)
Huzzah! I like Emperor Norton. He's a credit to my name. ;)
Woo-hoo! I'm Nicola Tesla.
Thanks for the pointer!
No, *I* am Emperor Norton. This world isn't big enough for the (n+1) of us!
