Understandable mistake
I couldn't remember how to spell "pomegranate" either (but fortunately I have a spell-checker.)
It's tasty juice, though. :-)

“ Escapism has value, even if I don’t know what its value is, exactly. Maybe it’s just part of some healthy way that we deal with the world. I didn’t want this book to say, “Set aside your childish fantasy world and live in the real world, because the real world has its own magic.” The real world is horrible. And horribly, we need them both. ”— Lev Grossman, about his [utterly brilliant] novel The Magicians

“—You have a great need for other people to like and admire you. You have a tendency to be critical of yourself. You have a great deal of unused capacity which you have not turned to your advantage. While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to compensate for them. Your sexual adjustment has presented problems for you. Disciplined and self-controlled outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You pride yourself as an independent thinker and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. You have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be pretty unrealistic. Security is one of your major goals in life.”
A fake, generic "personality profile" by psychologist Bertram Forer, that was rated 84% accurate by subjects told it was specifically for them.

It's just from some FaceBook game, but I like the mechanism and these diagrams. (It's supposed to be on a black background, though.)

Really thought-provoking essay by SF writer Charles Stross on the social and political challenge of keeping a society going in a closed system: "You, and a quarter of a million other folks, have embarked on a 1000-year voyage aboard a hollowed-out asteroid. What sort of governance and society do you think would be most comfortable, not to mention likely to survive the trip without civil war, famine, and reigns of terror?"
