After seeing today's poll for "Worst Rules Ever," I think the situation now warrants a "Worst Poll Ever" poll.

Which poll did you find the most meaningless?
Which poll offered the worst possible array of choices?
Which poll was the most poorly worded, rendering either an objective or even logical choice virtually impossible?

Or maybe those should all be separate polls?

Nominations for the list are now open.

And yes, you are free to nominate "This one."

Except I already just did. wink

"Who is your favorite Olsen Twin?" Limited choice…

And yes, that one was mine. I think I double-dog-dared Bill, and he happily complied.

Are they working now?

BTW, if it makes an actual Poll, Bill should post links, so we can make informed choices.

This poll thing is getting out of hand. Is the 'Poll of all Polls' a Poll itself?

I always prefer the ones where someone, somewhere has made an off-hand comment and we are asked to agree with it (or not)

"The Romans are totally useless!" says tournament loser Eric Trout. (We are not told whether Trout has said this about every army he has ever lost with). Are Romans totally useless?

"I shouldn't have eaten that chicken vindaloo!" says military historian Claude Mould-Eton. Should Dr. Mould-Eaton have ordered a milder curry?

I like those polls too, MJS.

However, as they only appear when Bill has a dearth of 'proper' poll suggestions, I fear we won't be seeing any more of them for a while ;)

Any in the past month qualify.

I'm glad that Claude has finally owned up to it – I have always thought his conclusions were a bit rushed.

"I always prefer the ones where someone, somewhere has made an off-hand comment…"

..and not on TMP! It is unfortunately all to easy to visualize Bill upon the Seat of Ease with his choice of reading material, saying, "Hmmm. There's a poll in that!"

Have we ever done "Britney or Lady Gaga"? Bill should take "People" to the can more often that "Slingshot" or "Miniature Wargames".

How about the "limit number of choices" but have select as many as you want for this poll.

SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER17 May 2010 6:29 p.m. PST

I nominate Is this the best curry we've had since Wolverhampton?

mmmm I find a lot of Polls about new obscure subjects annoying IE Do we need a War of Jenkins Ear Board or I think giant spider RPG's should have their own board etc etc etc….
