Have you ever had a pen pal?
- I have too many pals to waste my time on someone I'll probably never meet.
- I might. I don't think I'd be good at it, but maybe it would help me more than it could help the other person.
- I guess I could get into that, as long as they can take a joke through a letter.
- I'd love to...so long as I don't have to tell anyone about it.
- Sure. I think I'd give a lot to a friendship over letters.
If your school was having a 'cheese fair' would you go?
- If friends were going, I'd tag along.
- I'd go, but only to sample the finest cheeses. I wouldn't waste my time with cheddar and mozzarella.
- I'd wait outside and make fun of everyone going in by asking them 'who cut the cheese?'.
- I don't love cheese, but I'm always down for something new and interesting.
- I make a great brie, so I'd definitely go. But I don't know if I'd enter my cheese in a competition.
What would you do if you put on a magic show and actually made someone disappear?
- I feel invisible quite often actually. So I'd probably just leave them be.
- I'd do everything I could to bring them back. And I wouldn't rest until they were.
- If someone disappeared by being in a magic show, they probably deserved it. I'd forget about it and move on.
- Seems like a lot of work to try and find them. I'd probably just tell their friends and family what happened, and give them the responsibility.
- Um, that's a stupid question because it just isn't possible.

What would you do if you lost your grandfather's prized pocket watch?
- I'd probably just be honest with him and see if there was a different pocket watch I could get him.
- I'd never, ever admit to it so long as I live.
- Search diligently and find an exact replica just in case.
- Ignore it, who cares about a pocket watch? Those are so early 1900's.
- Buy grandpa a digital clock and tell him to get over it.
When you see a crazy pigeon person in a park, you...?
- See if the pigeon person is hungry
- Run at the pigeons and scatter them everywhere
- Make a joke at their expense
- Run away as quickly as fast as I can
- Offer the pigeons a little something to eat
How would you train for a spelling bee?
- I'd study endlessly because I've always dreamt of winning one.
- I'd take it easy and practice a little every day.
- I'd never be caught dead at a spelling bee.
- I wouldn't practice at all and spell my first word L-O-S-E-R-S before walking off stage.
- I'd seek the advice of a spelling bee champion and mimic everything they did to prepare.
It's late at night and you're alone. Would you take the subway home?
- I'd walk 10 miles if I had to, just to avoid using the train.
- Of course. I'm always down for a little adventure.
- The only person who should be scared of riding a subway at night is anyone in the train with me.
- Definitely. Nothing scary about a subway train at night. Silly question.
- No. Ever heard of Uber?
If you saw a vacant lot near your home, you would...?
- Not even notice
- Hide in it and throw water balloons at people who passed by
- Turn it into a baseball field and play with friends
- I'd never go in a vacant lot. What if it's filled with broken glass or lots of trash?
- If a friend wanted to play a game or something there, I'd jump in there.
If someone gave you a voodoo doll made of soap and said it could control your worst enemy, what would you do?
- I'd give it to my enemy.
- I'm curious enough to try it out and see if it worked.
- I'd use it every hour of every day.
- I'd lock it away to ensure nobody ever got their hands on it.
- I don't have any enemies, so I have no idea.

HEY, ARNOLD! When you think of the Hey Arnold cartoon series or Hey Arnold the Jungle movie, it’s hard not to hear that familiar screaming child from the series-opening credits. But here’s a quick refresher—Hey Arnold was a kid’s cartoon series and subsequent films created by Craig Bartlett. It aired on Nickelodeon from 1996 through 2004. It centered around Arnold Shortman and his friends, Gerald Johanssen and Helga Geraldaine Pataki. Bet you didn’t know Arnold had a last name, did you? He also had a nickname, “Football head”—because of his football-shaped head, of course.
Arnold and his friends were all in sixth grade, adventuring around a fictional city called Hillwood, with dark streets and rundown buildings as the backdrop for the series. There’s a long list of Hey Arnold characters. Take this quick quiz to find out which of them you’re most like.
Hey Arnold Characters
Hey Arnold! was a one-of-a-kind children's cartoon series and subsequent film created by Craig Bartlett, who also had a hand in directing and animating Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Makes sense when you think about it, huh? The series aired from 1996 through to 2004. Arnold, the protagonist of this 90s cartoon, had a football-shaped head, and the show centered around his life alongside his two best friends, Gerald and Helga. The show had many unique characters like Grandpa Phil, Arnold's wise and advice-filled caretaker; Rex Smythe Higgins iii, grandson of 'Old' Rex; Big Bob, Helga's dad and owner of the pager store Big Bob's Beepers; and Stinky Peterson, the guy with the southern accent and a buzzcut. Don't forget Dr. Bliss, the school psychologist!
The series was smart, funny, and amazingly original. And unlike many shows of its day, and ever since, the cartoon series took place in a ghetto where its characters traversed down dark shady streets amongst sad, run-down buildings. Not exactly what you'd expect from a kid's cartoon series. Arnold lived in a boardinghouse with his grandparents and a motley crew of assorted friends.
