the poll only has one option and yet it's at 99.9\% instead of 100\%. Last time I checked x/x = 1. Does fuzzy logic tickle?------------------
Ah screw it.

Maybe if you don't click in the little hole but vote anyway.

Nice. Some folks aren't strong enough to click hard enough for the vote to register. I think we should assume that those people who left a dimple should be counted.

i was wondering about that too. it must round down for some reason, so that a normal multi-choice poll doesn't go over 100\%.

Actually, cr0 must have done it on purpose to make us all wonder.

I just figured that it was cr0 screwing with us. Either way, I think the entire thing is funny as hell.

lol hehehe... yeah, recount! we use the same (i believe) poll system on icegaming and often not all the numbers add up to 100\%. probably uses the perl equivelant of floor, but still, a one option poll SHOULD come out as 100\%. probably cr0 screwing with our minds again.------------------
Ah screw it.

ok, this is lame guys. It doesn't round up to 100, because there's an error in the script ;Pnow go find other things to waste your time on.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot. The thing I hate most is that I didn't have a better idea.

and i'm glad they were counting those dimpled clicks from the start. hey, what about those military votes? or the absentees? i can see cr0bar sitting over a stack of papers going through and entering them into the poll. hehe, i'm too happy tonight.------------------
Ah screw it.
