This page is still under construction.
When I get organised, this will have super links and will be dynamically attached to the voting mechanism, but for the time being its static. I'll categorise results by origin of voter, shoe size, and weather. There will be thumbnails, icons, and other uses for mice. |
The scoring mechanism used is crude but tells the story fairly and
unambiguously.
Numbers are the percentage of vote attracted.
