Wait! There's a correct answer? I didn't know that. Oh noes. Are karma points deducted for the incorrect answer? Post-poll stress, mentally reviewing all my answers...

ShortNCuddlyAm · 06-03-2009, 05:03 PM

Vote for al of them, to be safe

Curly · 06-03-2009, 05:05 PM

But its too late I've already voted -- what will I do now?? (wailing loudly) Maybe the poll fairy will come along and help me out.

No it doesn't! It's highly contagious, and only a few seconds touching a keyboard connected to an infected thread will render the user a victim. There is currently no known cure, but it is believed that ZCDs do successfully exagerate the effects.

There is, or are, correct answer(s) only insofar as there is an opposite of incorrect answer or answers (which doesn't, or don't, exist until such time as another poll has been completed to establish their values). Fortunately, only negative Karma points are deducted for the answer that is the opposite of the correct answer. It is expected that when the last poll is completed, this will trigger a recursive unwinding of karmic calculations causing massive karma inflation. It is interesting to note that several universities are currently planning to establish Karmanomics departments to establish a scientific underpinning of this phenomenon. As yet, no names for the heads of the new karmanomics department have been released.

Great, I won't worry then, it is good to know that forward thinking universities are planning karmanomics departments despite the economic downturn. Right, so, karma inflation will only occur after the last poll has been completed. As long as desertgrandma is around, I don't think we will need to worry to much about a recursive unwinding of karmic calculations. Do we?

Is there ever a right or wrong answer to any of these polls? For all we know the correct answer could be as simple as right-, left- or inbetween , up or down, heaven or unheaven. Those Universities throughout the land will need to get their clipboards sharpened up and their pencils well and truely oiled, 'cause MR will be needing the research to initiate the next stage of poll casting, in order to avoid many of the wrong answers and poll-rigging that occasionally goes on here and there in the Llounge and elsewhere. I've even seen an occasion when doughnuts were offered as a bribe to corner a vote - ppfffttt .... It would have been more effective to get the big stick out ....

I've never noticed such a thing going on.

You must be referring to another forum somewhere.

It's just what I've heard . . . have never graced any other with my presence though, so can't swear to it.

This is the only one I've ever haunted.

Lady Blue · 06-04-2009, 02:13 PM

I've voted, and nobody bribed me with anything.

That's why it's more fun if we get only one vote for multiple choices.

Truthfully, I didn't really vote yet.

Too many choices.

I can't decide.
