BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - Research has discovered that taking polls makes you more physically attractive to the opposite sex. A ten year study of poll-takers were compared to a control group of people with pollaphobia (fear of polls and/or multiple choice questionnaires) and their physical attractiveness was rated on a scale of one to ten - ten being hot and one having the face of a bulldog chewing a wasp.
Researchers were surprised to discover that poll-takers were one hundred and five times more likely to be rated hot than those who refused to answer. "We really weren't expecting such dramatic results," admitted Ms. Abigail Bespectacled, lead researcher at the Grants R Us College. "Altho frankly, some of the pollaphobes are pig ugly. I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot clipboard, and I'm not normally picky."
The study involved a variety of polls, ranging from political opinions to the more quirky. Asked what the point of the research was, Ms. Bespectacled answered that she has been personally satisfied with the results, especially by a pair of Danish twins on a surfing holiday. "We've also discovered, for instance, that, given the choice, most people would rather French kiss a puma than listen to Bluegrass music, and that 23% of people have never had sex with someone who owns a NASCAR T-shirt but are not completely ruling it out."
The research was funded by The Polish National Tourist Office who didn't read the application carefully enough.

68.Did the last person who voted know, perchance, that 68 is a
happy number? QUOTE
A happy number is defined by the following process. Starting with any positive integer, the following process can be applied: replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits, and repeat the process until the number equals 1 (where it will stay), or it loops endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1. Those numbers for which this process ends in 1 are happy numbers and those that do not are unhappy numbers.
I like to think that they did.

Internet diary. 8/21/07. Poll has stalled at 68. Despite Dean's courageous attempts, interest in the poll is flagging. Some members demanding doughnuts. Have no money for 68 doughnuts and no logistics system for distributing. Repeated emails to Michael Brown for help have gone unanswered. Must remain optimistic.

CHARLOTESVILLE, CAROLINA: A woman has regained her sight and has noticed that her fingers have grown back after taking poll.
Shirley McMuffin, 39, lost her sight when she was 23. "I was watching a Richard Marx video on MTV," she recalls, "and I wanted it to stop. Unfortunately, I had lost the remote and I was too fat at that stage to get up and switch channels. So I gouged my eyes out with a spoon." The following year, all her fingers were severed in a bizarre accident involving a popcorn maker and a Slinky, although Mrs. McMuffin is hazy on the details.
The miracle occurred late last Saturday night. "I was logged on to VisaJourney [an immigration internet site] and took the Biggest poll EVER. The result was instaneous. My sight returned in a flash and all my fingers began to grow back, even the blue nail polish that I used to love." Doctors have examined her eyesight and her newly-grown digits and are baffled. "It's like she never lost her sight at all," said Dr. Snuffleofflegus. "Her fingers are in perfect working order. I've only just met this woman and I'm genuinely gullible in all aspects of my life, so I can honestly say I have no idea what's happened here."
When pressed on how she managed to log onto the internet while being blind and having no fingers, Mrs. McMuffin changed the subject to her recent weight loss and asked how much she was being paid for this article as Frank is coming home from his meat-packing job soon and she wanted to take him over to Shirley's Bar & Grill for a cold one.

Internet diary. 8/22/07. Not a good start to the day. FEMA have finally responded to yesterday's request for brownies. Brownies have indeed been dispatched.

No one is picking up the phone at FEMA. The Brownies are hungry. Are asking for doughnuts. Is this, I wonder, the definition of irony? *sigh*

Dear Michael Brown,
Thank you for your swift response to my plight. However, we seem to be on crossed purposes somehow. Having returned the bears' claws, I was not expecting a shipment of
camel toes instead. (The woman is question is very difficult to manage. She is threatening to eat one of the Brownies. In response, they are practising their knots on her. Send relevant badges.)
Please advise.

Dear Michael Brown,
Thank you once again for your swift response to my request for supplies. However, may I suggest that you reconsider FEMA's decision to outsource your call center to Mexico? The charming lady I spoke to was trying her best to be helpful, but I fear she may not fully have understood what I meant by 'pancakes', despite my descriptions.

One of the Brownies drew this impression of the shipment we received this morning. Thank you for the 72 crates of these critters that you have supplied. Please send face masks and some Febreze.
The large woman you sent earlier is attempting to gnaw through her restraints. She can smell the roadkill and she's licking her lips.
I remain your most humble servant.

Captain's log. Stardate 75201. We have been transported to a parallel universe in the year 2007. Mr. Spock has determined that we are caught in a computer network, possibly known as The Internets. Analysis has shown that a new world order is in place here, where beings are ranked according to mysterious Blue Squares and Red Hearts. One of these beings, named Stevel Aura, has picked up our distress signal and is attempting to transport us back to our time. He has configured a computer program, based on a polling system, that will create a tear in the space-time continuum when it reaches 100. All we can do is wait. In the meantime, Spock is running a datasearch on this woman:

We feel that she is somehow connected to our plight.

"Your analysis, Mr. Spock."
"Data suggests we are still locked inside The Internets, Captain. I have been able to determine that we require a further 25 votes before we have any chance of release."
"Scotty?"
"Aye, Cap'n?"
"Engine status, if you please."
"Cap'n, we've tried every combination of manouevres I can imagine - an' sum I canna. The engines are at full stretch. I gotta pull back or we'll be losing full power."
"How long before complete engine failure?"
"Two hours, Cap'n. Maximum."
"Dammit, Scotty, we need more power!"
"Aye, Cap'n, I'll see what I can do."
"Uhuru, open a frequency."
"Yes, Captain"
"This is Captain T Kirk of the Starship Enterprise. If... you can hear us... we need... doughnuts."

Internet diary. 8/24/07. Mixed day so far. Poll numbers are rising, but despite a care package from Sister Marilyn of the Blessed North - eh, we still do not have enough sustenance for the masses. Vick is calling every hour now. He's heard about the Brownies and wants to get a fight arranged. Says he knows someone who has a basement and a $1,000 on Troop 9. Kirk is also bugging me constantly. He has been affected by the shift in time and space and is delirious. Half the time he sends messages about the delithium crystals. The other half he's trying to get me a better deal on a hotel room in Deluth. Dean is on edge. Heard him talking on the phone about 'white goats' and 'stray jackets' or something. I'm worried about him. Keeps trying to feed me tofu.
Gotta run. The large woman has bitten one of the pitbulls. Gotta get it to a vet for a rabies shot.
