What do Charlie Sheen and Moammar Qadhafi have in common? For one thing, they’re both insane. For another, this quiz.

The writers of UK newspaper The Guardian have compiled a list of choice quotes from the two and challenge readers to decipher who said what. It sounds easy enough, but I ended up with a 4/10. Can anyone do better?

6/10. The Queen of England question, wow, tough one.

 4 of 10.

Whichever one said, "These resentments, they are the rocket fuel that lives in the tip of my sabre!" wins the prize for best mixed metaphor.

7/10 but I cheated - everything I thought was Charlie's I put as Daffy's, and everything I thought of as Daffy's I put as Charlie's....maybe the two should switch roles, since both "shows" have been shark jumping for awhile now, and it might freshen things up a bit...

Maybe it just proves that all coke-heads sound the same.

Still not as good as Al Gore vs. The Unabomber.

 Only 6, but I still have no idea which ones I got wrong - or right.

 7/10. I was going to check Charlie on everything, but I knew about the Queen of England thing, and I'm pretty sure Charlie doesn't have a sabre.

Ummm...well...complete Ricochet honesty obliges me to say that I scored an 8. 

Which is strange, because I have read nothing, I mean nothing, about Charlie Sheen's meltdown.  The sabre quote was a lucky guess; it just sounded like what someone on an acid trip would say.

I got an 8.

Anybody think ol' Charlie's wackier than the Colonel?

A mere 6 out of 10.  Ajax, Charlie's as deluded as  the Colonel, but he doesn't order an army that can kill people.  And no, I haven't watched either of them.  My statement is made completely blindly, from what others are saying about what they said.

 I scored a 4 and have actually read a few tidbits from each of these kooks.  They sound remarkably similar, and I guess my brain just threw the stuff I had read into a random "crazy guy" quote bin.  They look alike, too! 

Sadly, there is a third generation of crazy Sheens out there.  I hope his kids are shielded from this somehow.

 Martin did come out with a statement claiming the press was being cruel to his son by reporting his rants.   He said something about alcoholism/drig addiction being no different than diabetes. 

Maybe Martin should have spent more time at home parenting his kids and less time mugging for the cameras, getting arrested at protest marches, and preaching about the evils of America to the rest of us.

Got 8 out of 10. Of course I had listened to the entire Alex Jones interview. Sheen definitely needs to take his Lithium.
