Why so damn absent minded ? Why so scared ?

In line with the new year resolution plan, this morning I got together two bags of clothes and a box of books and bric-a-brac, and took them off to a charity shop. There is a disappointing absence of consequent large areas of space in my room and wardrobe. Dammit. I don't understand how that happens.

However, my tidying up isn't very exciting, so instead...

Earlier today, I was making extravagant claims about Thing A being funnier than Thing B for various values of A and B. I have no idea whether people agree, disagree or were humouring me. So, to get us closer to ultimate truth, please express your preferences below. If for any question you think that neither is funnier, then leave it blank. If you think this is a pointless/senseless poll, then give over whinging and don't fill it in.

[Poll #909426]

Irrelevantly, if there are any geeky types out there who have not yet discovered http://xkcd.com, then get yourselves over there.

Wrt xkcd: The 'Can you give me a few pointers?' strip is a classic round our way...

It's good, but it's not quite as good as the "Do you expect me to do co-ordinate substitution while strapped to a centrifuge?" one. Easier to get into everyday conversation, though ;)

Oy, [livejournal.com profile] dmh - what is Pocky ?

Is it that weird Japanese chocolate-esque-food-product-on-a-stick ?
