Silly poll

Just wanted to check out a theory I have about the people in this community.

Will the findings be written up in the Journal of Irreproducible Results?

This is an actual publication, BTW, with scientists satirizing science. Some recent articles:


Academic Tipping Guidelines
Advice To Mice
Annals of Emergency Medicine
Beeper Pathological Syndrome
A Brief History of Scholarly Publishing
A Conversation at the Academy
A Cause of Terminal Death
The Clark Kent/Superman Syndrome
An E.R. Patient's Complaint
Fatherly Advice
Insect Rights
ITOT
The Joy of Baking Statistics
The Language of the Future
To Marrow, to Marrow and to Marrow
Mass Fainting at Rock Concerts
A Modest Proposal
New Observations in Numerical Anthropology
Nonsmokers Are Hazardous To Your Health
Null Utilization of Treatment Scenario (NUTS)
A Numerical Analysis of the Gulf War
Our Spitting Image

Rich's poll would fit right in!

Y'know this reminds me. There was a sci-fi series/movie with killer androids addicted to gambling. Apparently, years earlier someone suggested to one of these robots to 'take a chance'.

Can anyone give me the title?

I don't understand the poll question. Actually, I don't even see a poll question. I'm so confused. I was called slow and a blond this afternoon, so this isn't helping.

Check out the other polls on the site and that might point you in the right direction as to why this poll was posted.

Need not understand the poll, you don't. The way the force tells you to, answer it.
