The Monday Poll - Official Rules to an Unofficial Poll

There are no right or wrong answers to this poll, there are just answers. "Ticky" answers are often the equivalent of "Decline to state," but sometimes not. It's existential, in a way. Or do I mean "zen"?

What is my agenda? Mostly, I don't have one. I try to cover the entire spectrum of answers in these polls, but I may not think of everything.

This poll has no redeeming social value, except to entertain. To that end, it is frequently silly. Maybe even ironic. It's not so much a collection of data, as a opportunity to participate in a data-like entertainment. ☺

I'm not saying I'll do a poll every Monday, although Mondays aren't good for much else. But if something catches my attention/irritates/amuses me, and I feel the inspiration, this is where you'll see it. Sometimes these polls are serious, but most times they aren't. I'll leave it to you decide when those occasions have occurred.

You can find past Monday polls here (although the first two are "honorary" Monday polls):
