Are polls cool, or what?

You need more than than two choices for it to qualify as a poll worth following.

Why no, not at all. Sucking and blowing, while commonly confused, are entirely different actions.

You can't blow a golf ball through a garden hose.

I think many polls suck and don't answer them, including this one... the biggest problem with this poorly-thought-out poll is if your answer is "Polls suck and I never answer them", you can't choose that option!

Some say it doesn't matter, but how much I care about a poll depends on the size...

As long as we are not confusing polls with posts, this poll shouldn't make it to page two.

I am thinking about participating in it just to see what the tally is, but hopefully a moderator can just tell me so I don't have to feel like such an automaton.(nudge, nudge)

Umm, BINGO. That was the point of this "poorly-thought-out" poll. By the responses to the poll so far I think we've proven that 75% of people who respond to polls:

a) don't understand the questions;
b) don't care and just pick something;
c) lie

since if a, b and c were all false then no one could have picked "b".

So, I'd say we've shown that poles are pointless unless they are for amusement (as this one was intended to be) :)

Yes, of course. And if you shoot a penguin with a harpoon it bleeds red before it dies; therefore some dead penguins are newspapers!

I have mixed feelings about Pan Walensa. No doubt that he was one of people who freed Poland, and set off a domino effect in eastern europe, but the anti-abortion stuff...? In the end all our heroes have feet of clay.

Thanks for posting that, Ygmir. Happy memories. That woman certainly knew how to handle my pole.

Best thing about her, is I never had to buy beer. She always had a six-pack handy.
