ZBB Census

Post by sirred »

[Edit: Typo]

I'm sure something like this has been done before but I didn't see where. In one thread we were trying to decide statistical percentages so I figured that I'd ask it specifically. I don't ask anything I don't feel comfortable revealing so:

Age bracket: 25-40
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
State/Province/Other Subdivision: Kansas
Occupation: Student
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Status: Single
Native Language: English
Secondary Languages: None
Languages I Want to Learn but Don't Have the Time: Spanish'd be nice
Religion: Christian (Protestant)
Politics: Democrat
Handedness: Right
Who Would Win in a Fist Fight Between Michael Dorn and a Zombie Benjamin Whorf?: Dorn.

In every U.S. presidential election between 1976 and 2004, the Republican nominee for president or for vice president was either a Dole or a Bush.

Damn! Now that this typo's pointed out, I'll have to maintain a complicated deception that the site is now Zompist's Zomptastic Board! Any help on that from the powers-that-be?

Well that's one way of doing it. I suppose that would be less time consuming than an elaberate scheme.
