Results
Well, my friend. If you chose even a single “B” on that quiz, I’m sorry, but you’re a robot. No if’s, and’s or but’s about it! However, there is no need to fret. There are many benefits to being a robot. For starters, you don’t have to worry about contracting bone marrow disease because you don’t have bones—you’re made of metal alloys. This will also drastically increase your chances of survival in a car wreck. Being a robot is cool! Who knows, maybe you’re able to transform into a dinosaur or something stupid like that. I wouldn’t know, it’s not like I’m a robot or anything.
