The original question was: where am I being stupid, at the gallery or at the garage? So if Ephesos doesn't like galleries, he should vote gallery. It does sort of make sense. I like this poll, although I find it impossible to answer. It would depend on whether I myself liked the vase in question. It I found it aesthetically pleasing, then I would say you're stupid at the garage. And conversely if I thought it had about as much appeal as Tracy's unmade bed, then I'd vote you stupid at the gallery. -------------------- "Blink and you're dead...

Anyone else read the instructions? I got a feeling someone was feeling a wee bit whimsical when he wrote them. quote: quote: quote:Late night was it Jeff?

quote:I guess because a lot more people have 19" monitors than 9" ones. Though that line of thought raises the question of why the tv ratio is called 4:3 rather than say, 12:9. Edit: Double D'oh.

The poll also allows you to tick every box. Somehow, I managed to resist the temptation. Others may not be so restrained. -------------------- "Blink and you're dead...

The Awakened founder would be Ellrah, and the Drakon Taker leader would be Easss, I believe. I voted Awakened (GF2 incarnation), because I liked that ending, although I suppose the Trakovite ending to GF4 was similar in some ways. -------------------- "Blink and you're dead...
