For those of you who've ever been to Yahoo Answers' Polls & Survey category, this will be familiar. For the rest of you, what it is is daily I'll post (or anyone can) a gag question designed to illicit joke responses.
(So we get to make jokes. It's fun.)
The question could be serious if someone really wanted an opinion from everyone.
But mostly this is just an opportunity to make jokes.
Here are examples :

The yahoo questions were much more fun.
But I would never have managed to work out a reply to the girl who was stuck in her mum's bra before her mum got home.
I was much too well behaved at school. I might have enjoyed it a lot more if I hadn't been so scared of getting into trouble.
I've done an awful lot of not very nice things and prefer to forget about them.

I'm afraid i was very naughty. And i had an accomplice (my younger sister). I was the instigator, she just thought my naughty ideas were funny and would either help or watch (oh, a good stunt requires an audience or else what good is it?) We would throw small objects at passing cars, but being creative I always came up with a new better idea what to throw (much to the delight of my sister, lol) One day I decided if i took the dish detergent bottle, and filled it with water, i could squirt a stream of water quite a long way (oh yes!) and we proceeded to squirt people's cars, well, one of them had an open window, and all I heard was "My coiffure!!!" (older woman screaming). We were of course already running and dying from hysterics (Oh, laughing was the point to doing these things) Our parents used to take us with them, when they went shopping at the department store every saturday. We found a whole new universe of possibility there! One week it was the blowup punching doll (stabbed it with a large safety pin (safe my ass!) *ahem* Another week, we opened a label maker and started making labels with swears on them. We were going to the fireworks (a carnival) later, so the plan was hatched to go around sticking these on the back of people's coats. At the age we were, this seemed hilarious, and trust me we had a lot of fun doing it. There was also the great gum chewing caper (we kept half chewing wads of gum, and sticking them in the shoes, in the shoe department (ok, that one is STILL funny Ah it's a wonder i didnt end up a delinquent! Good times. Good times.

TODAY'S QUESTION: -is again a serious one. (Feel free to post the day's question if you think of one):
Who are your heroes? Name up to three people who inspire you.
HUNNY'S ANSWER:
I'm downright fond of Amelia Earhart. Every time I see her portrayed I can't help but think of all the ways to die, to end up loved and admired even through history has got to be the best way.
And I think Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad was the luckiest music artist of many decades, in that his talent seemed to be perfect and he didn't mess it up on drugs or anything tragic like happens to so many.
And Carl Sagan, for his PBS series "Cosmos", which gave so many an otherwise entirely elusive grasp of where and what the universe, and so we, are. He gave us wonder and awe, in perspective. That series still amazes minds even now.
If you have 13 hours to spend in awe -> watch Cosmos

TODAY'S QUESTION: Yep. I'm posting these daily, so answer them or miss them...
Did you party when you were young? What was it like?
HUNNY'S ANSWER: In the mid 80's I had a guitar and a race car and I was on top of the world, and we used to ..ok, I dont want to discuss narcotics explicitly, so...we used to get "enlightened" and my fellow musicians and I spent a lot of time laughing and singing in that car that way. Woo hoo! (It was a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda. It was pretty sweet.)

Hunny, washing machines get hungry.
But I do wish they would eat a pair at a time rather than leaving us with bags of odd socks.

TODAY'S QUESTION:
What disappoints you in today's society?
[/color] HUNNY'S ANSWER: piercings and tattoos. people are making themselves look like pygmies, like circus freaks, awful and the music sucks too and people walking slow in front of my car without thanking me makes me want to run them over, and i might em, at least that's how I feel.

TODAY'S QUESTION:
Do you like where you live? Why? Or why not?
[/color] HUNNY'S ANSWER: I live in Massachusetts. It has pros and cons. Pros: hills and trees, and summer and beaches. Cons: winter, awful politics. Overall: I wish I was in California where it's summer all the time. (But one gets settled into a place after so many years and leaving seems unthinkable, doesn't it.

Hmm......I think they are just talking to backwards idiots..........except maybe for the cold and Santa one.
I guess we need to make one that shows the rest of the world thinks we are all just hillbilly idiots.

I just want to assure that we don't really think of Europeans as "p**sies". That's just whoever drew the map. He was trying to be comical, to show how we think we're the most important place. You see how India is referred to as "call centers" though? Yea, that's true, they answer our phones!!! When you call a place of business here, a machine answers, and if you insist on speaking to a human, they're in India! (wtf) ..This was one of my least favorite development in recent years. That and the way nothing comes with an owners manual anymore. Oh and I think they have the location of Santa wrong, but that's another story

Thanks for the great map; it gave me a good laugh. I'm a bit baffled by the bit about 'Communists' though. Surely even the most isolated hillbilly tribes realise that Russia is now just a gangster state rather than a Communist gangster state? (And large parts of the world seem to be floating in some kind of oceanic limbo!)

And Lin, did you notice that Britain is not just irrelevant. The British Isles have been removed from the map entirely ;-)

Thanks, BA.
Obviously the map must have been drawn up by some European Union official (we know how much they all hate Britain!)
