Question:
I ended up getting sick this weekend and it’s a long weekend with MLK day. Do I always get sick at long weekends?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (100%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
Unfortunately a unanimous result, but it does seem like I pick up things when the holidays are upon us. My one and only Covid infection was during a Christmas holiday. Oh well, I think I’ve only got one more holiday left and then I’m done with them (unless I get another job).

Question:
I only really have one question I can ask this week. If you came across a sign from a failed fast food restaurant in a shop, would you buy it and have it as a decoration?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (75%)
- No (25%)
Analysis:
I guess McDonalds needs to look out before you lot go and pinch their Golden Arches to hang on your living room wall. This question does actually refer to a friend who now has a green cow light up in their living room. In all fairness, I do actually like it. It’s just not something I’d ever think to do.

Question:
I’ve actually got a busy week of non work things going on over the next couple of weeks. It starts with another trip to the vet to get boosters for my little babies. Now, I’ve let them out (although only one is really taking advantage of this new found freedom). I’m going to let him out tomorrow morning so he can go for a poo after his breakfast. Will I be able to get Zaphod back in to go to the vet after he’s been for a poo outside?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (40%)
- No (60%)
Analysis:
Well, the answer to the question was yes. My little baby boy tends to go in and out of the house all day long. He goes out to do his cat business (he has very important meetings he needs to attend) and then he pops back in every now and then to make sure I'm alright. I let him out and then when he came back in, I locked the door on him. I then managed to get both the cats in their respective carry baskets. Got the baskets in the truck .... and then the truck wouldn't start. Yay! So I ended up ubering the cats to and from the vet. Nothing is straight forward these days.

Question:
When are you going to book your vacation on the Middle East Riviera?
Results:
Later was the clear winner with 43% of the votes from the following selection:
- Soon (29%)
- Later (43%)
- Never (29%)
Analysis:
Yes, probably best to wait before you make your next vacation destination the Middle East. Seems like Trump's stirring the pot here and we'll wait to see what happens. Talking about going round in circles, Trump was at the Daytona 500 to lead the formation lap in, what they said was, a 22,000 lb limo. Clearly the weight being the armored protection. That's a very heavy car.

Question:
An article in the news today caught my attention about Pathfinder 1 being an attempt at reviving the airship. This got me thinking as to whether I'd go on an airship or not if the option was available. I have images of the Hindenburg disaster in my mind, but I'm kind of thinking any modern airship would be using a gas less flammable than hydrogen. Still, the question remains: if there was an option to fly on an airship, would you take it?
Results:
Yes and No tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- No (50%)
Analysis:
There’s mixed feelings on this. I actually ended up opting for yes based on the try anything once principle, but I’d probably be plopping my pants while on it.

Question:
I think we need to do a study to determine if you’re worthy of being an EBR subscriber. Can you write 5 bullet points on your achievements last week?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (33%)
- No (67%)
Analysis:
Wow! The EBR readers are more worthless than a government official. Who would have thunk it? Well, you best be keeping your eyes out for Mr Musk. We’re sending him round to you right now to deal out your punishment.
Interestingly, I thought there was a get out of jail free in the official ask as you were not to include anything sensitive. I really, really, really hope someone replied with “I could tell you my achievements, but then I’d have to kill you”.
