MING CALCULATES YOUR SNIVELING SCORE:

20 -- You're either a huge drug addict or a huge nerd; either way, get help, minion!

15-19 -- Ming admires your knowledge and offers you a place in his oppressive organization. You will learn to wreck planetary economies with viruses and inflation while you cause chaos by letting violent criminals run in the streets. Ha! Ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA!

10-14 -- Ming tells you to study more and has you flung out into the space dumpster.

6-9 -- Ming scoffs and tells you to go back to school. He also calls you a blockhead and a nincompoop, which makes you cry a little. Then he has you thrown into the space dumpster.

1-5 -- Ming sends you to work in the ice mines. Ming likes his frozen daquiris, and he drinks a lot of them, so you'll be very busy mining ice for him. HA HA HA HA HA!

  1. Next iteration could be "Fictional Planet or Brand-Name Prescription Drug or Chinese Brand Name on Amazon"

    E.g., Minwind, Xinway, Bearbro, Homitt, Hiraly, OneBom and many many more like these.

  3. I guess our "president" must have scored 19. He's certainly done all that and more.
