Unfortunately, I failed the application test. :'( But considering how very abnormal, unhealthy, and across-the-ditch-that-runs-alongside-the-road I am, maybe their test is full of crap. >:D
QuoteWell, you're distressingly normal and could conceivably adjust to life as a deep space pioneer, though we recommend instead that you leave the Mars missions to the serious whack jobs who scored over 130 and instead finish year 3 of law school, tuck your toddler into bed, design Web 2.0 applications, run for Congress or do whatever other normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road thing you're currently doing with your normal, healthy, middle-of-the-road life. If you're determined to give Virgle a try, though, you can submit your video here.
It's an April Fool's joke. One of at least sixteen that Google played this year. (They normally do only one.)

But I was leaning towards this one, because... well, I just sort of assumed the panel of judges would be male-dominated. Plus, you can't beat that 'Life on Mars' soundtrack.
