Earlier today I was astonished to find that asdf beats out qwerty (54 to 46).

That's one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. I had to put my name in with all my friends...

But this one really gets me:

I'll resist the urge to even suggest that we put in male and female genitalia.

"It's 52% metafilter and 48% pancakes."

You can all make your bets for Oscar night, by the way.

Will Smith 95%, Tom Wilkinson 5%
Will Smith 79%, Denzel Washington 21%
Will Smith 78%, Sean Penn 22%
Will Smith 66%, Russell Crowe 34%

You heard it here first.

rory - seems you know quite a bit about Russia? Incidentally my name is Vadim and was checking to see if anyone here was familiar with it, looks like you're the only one.

Jeez. It's almost enough to skew my sexuality; if the Internet says it, it's gotta be true.

Maybe Aunt Ida was right: "Queers are just better. I'd be so proud if you was a fag. The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life."

In case you are wondering, mr_crash_davis is referring to Rock Of Ages by Def Leppard.
