banniNation Polling: 2008

The weirder the better

Apparently banniNation isn't weird enough. Over half of the responders wanted to see more weird stuff. Silly pictures and phoshops came next, together with the geeky choice of technology. It just shows how nerdy we are. The interest in books and movies and science means we are intelligent nerds. Politics and other political stories were less wanted than one would think looking at the frontpage.

Get back in the kitchen and make me a sammich!

Sixty-five people responded to this weeks inquiry into how many hours bNers and bNettes spend making their living quarters inhabitable. Five of y'all are lucky enough to have mom or a maid pick up your basement digs. Four respondents were brave enough to admit they are slobs and never clean up. (Hmmm... if you're having trouble finding a partner you might want to look into that.) Two community members work hard as household managers - i.e. they are MOM or Mr. Mom. The rest of us don't obsess too much, but do spend some time keeping chaos in check. See the wiki for more results.

Sexy Time

It seems that most bNers and bNettes have some experience in the bedroom. 59 people answered this week's question "How many sex partners have you had? (Sex = hj, oral, intercourse)"

Roughly 32% of respondents said that they've had 3-6 partners and 17% said 7-12 partners. Two of you, and you know who you are, need to get out of mom's basement. Two more of you - when the hell do you find time to banninate if you have 41-100 partners? I'm not sure what to make of the response "Who's counting?" (8%). Perhaps these individuals don't want to ruin a nice leather belt.

Further analysis can be found here in the wiki.
