- Well, Prince, so Genoa and Lucca are now just family estates of the Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war, if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by that Antichrist--I really believe he is Antichrist--I will have nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer my 'faithful slave,' as you call yourself! But how do you do? I see I have frightened you--sit down and tell me all the news.
- Those who educate children well are to be more honored than parents, for these only gave life, those the art of living well.
- We've all heard that a million monkeys typing on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. Now, thanks to the internet, we know this is not true.

Glad to make you laugh :) As to your question regarding polls, I'm not sure. Frankly, while I remember most results, I didn't write anything down and I'm hesitant to guess. However, I will post results from now on. And, if it matters, this is the first poll that was in any way serious...and even that's stretching things.
If it helps, I know that 6 people voted for Time and no one voted for anyone else. Also, aside from the two mathematicians, everyone answered that they use a calculator a lot in a typical day. The mathematicians agreed that they rarely use one...and then only when they can find it.
I love #5. There are definitely some idiots out there.
I also like #2. When I think of some of the people that are "role models" to kids these days I just shake my head. I know the media is more prevalent and so every illegal or immoral action of celebrities and politicians is immediately publicized, but were the celebreties in the past this bad? I'm sure the politicians were (LOL). Hopefully I can be a good enough parent and I surround myself with good people to be my kids' role model.
I like #1 too. As for #4, I've seen some future teachers, and I shake my head again. Have you seen who is graduating from high school?
P, your last comment is, of course, quite valid. I believe that is why the author used the modifier "well." However, to be fair, the author's time was far different than ours.
Dave...sorry, one other poll I forgot. Everyone prefers religious discussions of any type over discussions concerning Mesopotamian cities famous for their glasswork, save for one of you. That one disliked Polytheism so much, that he or she would rather discuss the cities.
