Hah! You're accidentally* on topic! The whole point is that some polls only include options that all give the same or a similar opinion. Some others have "<choice> because I'm stupid" or "<choice> because I'm not stupid" etc.


* I assume.

Seriously, having Myrth would give people another option, thereby removing the bias of which I speak.

Uh... I don't know if that's supposed to be funny, or what, but naturally, if you attempted such a deed, the aforementioned eyes would be violently and painfully torn from their sockets.

Myrth is a person? I thought it (s/he) was just a mystical energy field created by all living things. That it surrounds us and penetrates us. That it binds the galaxy together.

(Spoilers)

I haven't seen the movie, but my dad (SW geek extraordinaire) downloaded the script a couple of months before the movie came out. Apparently, he kills Padme, the woman he is supposed to love, in an attempt to destroy their children and keep them from causing his downfall. He impregnates her and then kills her. Evil enough for ya?

The Myrth option would be more creative than that.
For example,
Myrth created everything, all hail Myrth

And anti-Myrth options:

George W. Bush

I'm just trying to figure out what drove the vast majority thusfar to choose option three over the others.

Did people expect to choose three in order to even out the randomness, thinking others would gravitate toward one or four, or what?

I think somebody in the thread

(I think it was that annoying one whose name starts with a J, Jihaba or something like that)

said that option number three was "right", most likely joking. :rolleyes:

As did I. Suprisingly, it seems to be a popular option when compared to the others.

The rule is: If in doubt, always choose 'c'.

That rules has helped me pass more than one important exam, oddly enough 0_o

Number one is almost always c). Then 2 is either a) or d), and 3 is usually b). Somewhere in the middle there will be three d)s in a row, and you can throw in random answers anywhere you want. Trust me, you'll pass every single multiple choice exam.







Well...almost. *hides* :D
