Doogie Howser has been jokingly referred to as the world’s first blogger. But the kid doctor’s quasi-poignant, ellipsis-laden insights more closely resemble Twitter updates. Can you tell the difference between something I excerpted from Doogie Howser’s famous journal and something I found on Twitter?
Take the Quiz: Doogie Howser Journal Entry or Twitter Update?
[When you're done, either start following mental_floss on Twitter or go watch all four seasons of Doogie Howser, M.D. for free on Hulu.]

Ha – great quiz! I’m happy with my 9/12. Half my office called out sick today (they’re either afraid of Swine flu or enjoying the weather), so I may watch a few episodes on Hulu to spite them.

As I took this, the Celebrity Poker Showdown was on Bravo. Who was one of the players? NPH himself! Didn’t help me though: 6/12. :-/

5/12. =(
Then again, I don’t remember much about the show… although Doogie’s girlfriend was kinda cute. Whatever happened to Lisa Dean Ryan, anyway?
