Because there hasn't been a pool for a few days

[ridgey]

I fully expect this poll to provide us all with the data necessary to accurately assess our chances.

And clearly the title should be "poll" not "pool". Whoops!

I like "pool" better than "poll"! Doesn't sound that academic

Best poll on the site.

I believe this poll to be a postmodernist critique of scientific knowledge, by taking their supposed 'data gathering' techniques and subverting them for its own ironic ends. Well done, Professor Ridgey. Have some funding.

Nice pool! Also, you're so beautiful, you could be a part-time model...But you'd probably have to keep your normal job. :wink:

If I don't get in, I'm thinking pastry school. So restaurant + fair trade chocolate FTW.

I'm not sure I understand what we're supposed to be responding to?

Why, thank you. I was most certainlythe most beautiful girl in the room at Dave's party. Were you surprised that your mate Dave got a girl like me to a party like that?

Clear your mind, the answer will come...

[ridgey]

I went to add new options, didn't realise it would lose the existing votes. Doh!

Good one, Dave!

(Ooh, you're a legend, Dave).

Further, it also subverts the expert/lay person dichotomy, having been written by only a graduate school applicant. Note how the author assumes a hyper-casual, 'student' voice to mock this binary system: "Like, whatever", "Bla, bla, bla, The Economic Crisis [take drink]" (Ridgey 2009).

Yup, I'm pretty subversive.
