Remember, remember
The fifth of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, killed and forgotten. But 400 years later an idea can still change the world. I have witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I’ve seen people kill in the name of them and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man. A man that made me remember the fifth of November. A man that I will never forget. - V for Vendetta.
drake?
so first I filled out a poll asking people how many first cousins they have, but it looks like most people have over 8 and the results aren't very informative beyond that. and I made an updated poll with better brackets, but I forgot to set the time limit to a week instead of a day, (and thank you to everyone who commented, the results were really cool) so - (and add your ethnicity in the tags!)
Please reblog this so that I can get a bigger sample size, but DO NOT include anything in the tags about the results, as that could influence other responses
Ok, I have been blessed with polls but up until now I couldn't find a good use for them XD
But I am very curious about those polls where the distribution of votes is the point of the poll - so please join me in this experiment: vote and reblog but NO CHEATING (don't write in comments or tags what the poll looks like when you vote, don't vote from multiple accounts to correct your guess, don't message your friends etc). Vote blindly and let's see what happens :D
The ideal result would be having 1 at about 2%, 2 at about 4%, 3 at about 5%, 4 at about 7%, 5 at about 9%, 6 at about 11%, 7 at about 13%, 8 at about 15%, 9 at about 16% and 10 at about 18% but honestly I would still be impressed if every number got some votes AND they were in a gradient from low to high percentage. I don't think it's gonna happen but I WANNA KNOW.
(Setting it up for a week because I want maximum data)
