:shock:

I agree. I'm going to vote for Antarctica instead.

Haha. You put an Antarctica option and actually expect people would tell the truth. (don't know about you, but I'm laughing)

Considering having such a small percentage of the world's population (even when combined with New Zealand), Australia has a large number of users.

/cast "Bubbly Prison" on="necromancer"

I kinda like the results, but I'm surprised there are no people here from Latin (Middle) America!

Well, what you're seeing is a strong bias towards countries with a high standard of living, people having lots of spare time, computers, and an internet connection to actually end up on a site about something (when we're honest) completely pointless.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.

Should I regard that as smartassery or bitter distaste for my post?

What I meant was I like the fact that Antarctica and Asia are tied for fourth place.

You can safely assume that people voting antartica just want to cast magic missile at this poll.

Too weak, I think they're going for disintegrate or fireball. Possibly even Summon Monster IX.

I play third edition if anyone's in for a game over IRC.

I was watching the Discovery channel once and saw these epic f*cking mountains in Antarctica. Ever since, I've had this desire to go there sometime and climb them to their summits.... <Tingles at thought of laying down in the snow and viewing the vast emptiness around.>

Who'll be casting magic bullets then!? :twisted:

I did not vote for Antarctica.

Neither. Bitter distaste for the realities of life on this planet.
