> Since you used the question I possed in this thread as the reader poll can I get a pen. It's sorta like I already one the contest. Kinda. In a way I'm not sure of. Maybe. I think. Perhappes.

Nope. Although you may submit the question as a contest entry. (Similarly, Mousie can submit the Dum Dum pop and soda questions, if she desires.) As the contest rules state, I may (and probably will) use questions that don't win. This whole contest, of course, is an excuse to get people to send me suggestions for reader poll questions, so I don't have to think them up. Originally, I was going to put a notice right on the Poll page, saying, "Please feel free to submit question suggestions," but then I had the contest idea (yep, way back then!) and decided to hold off putting that notice up until after the intended contest ran its course.

The other thing is, interestingly, I had thought of that question myself several months ago, during one of many meaningless conversations I have with my co-workers during lunch and breaks. A friend of mine posed the question of what superpower one would ideally like to have, above all others, and we actually tackled the question with deep, if bizarre, analysis. Your thread reminded me of it and provided a relevant, timely opportunity to pose the question to RinkWorks readers. So thank you for that, at any rate. :-)
