Duct tape is like the Force. It's got a dark side and a light side. It holds the universe together.

Ok. Now the whole thing begins to make sense. May the duct tape be with you!

I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Its tape surrounds us and binds us. Adhesive beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Duct Tape around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

So never use force on ducts?

That might make them hard to install!

If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

How the elephant do you create a poll?

I really don't want to hijack the lounge, but I cannot find the elephanting path to starting a poll in contrast to starting a raging argument in here.

You can't... you can only suggest a topic.

Go to the survey, upper right corner, next to "Watch" there is "suggest a survey"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Well, Chris posted about it in the Lounge quite a few years back, so it can't be that secret.
And it can only be used by Codeproject users if I recall correctly.

Might be... but the user base was not that spammy / trolling / idiotic / moronic back then

I hope it has a high rep limit or something like that... if not... I suspect we will get a new kind of spam / troll waves...

@Chris-Maunder I think you should think about this topic a bit.

Not sure what time period "back then" entails but I doubt that statement is true. Which doesn't mean that similar problem doesn't exist now but rather that any difference is trivial.

Well we'll probably find out soon enough.

Survey Results - Should the edit survey page be available to regular users

You have to change the polls page filter to "all types" to find it, so the abuse potential is somewhat limited anyway.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

there is no argument. After seeing poll after poll, I thought it was a feature. Seems to be cleverly disguised and somewhat hidden for reasons listed above.
