Wil Wheaton Poll Results
A little while back we posted this poll:
Did you know Wil Wheaton before we mentioned him on this site?
1. Wesley Crusher, of course!
2. Gordie from Stand by Me, of course!
3. Yes.
4. No.
The results? A tie! 50% of respondents knew Wheaton as Wesley Crusher, and 50% did not know him at all.
Not know him at all? I've got two words for ya: Toy Soldiers.
What? Never heard of it? Were you even in your awkward adolescent stage in the late 80's or early 90's?
No? Well, that explains something...

Waking Up with a Song in Your Head
According to a recent poll (The Literary Brothel, 2008) most people do NOT wake up with a song in their head. Not even "sometimes."
The poll came about due to a comment from Hans Zimmer at UCLA. Zimmer always woke with some tune in his head, and when he started mentioning it to people, he was surprised to learn that most people do not share this eccentricity.
Until that moment, I had no idea it was an eccentricity. I always wake up with some song or some tune banging around in my mind. (Today it was Eternal Flame. Yes, that's The Bangles....I didn't say it was always a "good" song.") Apparently, not everybody does. Strange.
It's like finding out that you have three nipples.
Okay, not exactly.
But it's still strange.

(Yes, that's the ending. I'm writing this midday - thank you timestamp! - and by now the Bangles have faded. I was going to rant about the catchiness of 80s music and how it was killed by the Pixies and grunge, but instead...close your eyes. Give me your hand, darling...the Bangles are back! Eh, this piece is done.)

Typo in the Poll
Yes, we are aware there is a typo in the current poll question. Thank you for letting us know.
But are you aware that once someone votes on the poll, you can't change the question?
The next poll will be about typos. That way, any typo in the polling question can be assumed to be intentional.

The Results of The First Literary Brothel Poll
The results of the first Literary Brothel poll are below:
Poll: Do you pee in the shower?
Yes (28%)
Yes, but I will not admit it because I don't think this poll is truly anonymous (28%)
No (42%)
What does this all mean? That my suspicions were correct: most people pee in the shower, but only half you will admit it.
Our next poll is on the left bar. Please vote. It really is anonymous.
Really.
