Oh, and Imran:

St. Leo – 1 (himself)

These two really should lighten up.

I can't believe Avril Lavigne got no more votes, C'mon, guys, this is the APOLYTON OFF-TOPIC! If you don't love her, why do you then talk about her, all day all night?

Should've sticked with Elvis.

...AND I THOUGHT THAT YOU MENT ENTIRE SERIES WITH THE MOVIE SEQUAL, THUS VOTING FOR STAR WARS.

I voted Laz & The Gimp.

And I blame too much SDMB for me voting Princess Bride. I didn't even watch more than about 1/3 of that movie!

And come on! There must have been more people voting War on Terror! Bastards.

I still want to know how people can put down Finland... well, if you aren't from there in the first place.

That's easy. People are supposed to guess what choices will be the most popular, and everyone guessed that the Finns will put Finland down as their choice.

Yes, but who would have guessed that most of the Finns would play this game?

Oh right... forgot, I'm an honorary Finn... that means you have a tracking device on me, don't you .

Congrats to Gangerolf. Only four points ahead. Now it's your turn to do the quiz.

The only one I got less than the maximum was the political issue, that was a bit tough for me. I put down "Conservatism/liberalism".

I did consider placing France, but I figured most would put Finland...

I voted for Bill Clinton as best solo artist (saxo) not for Georges.

Does not change the score ? OK then.

5th place biznatch! i blame myself for choosing michael jackson, but i was thinking of elvis because of the older white trash on the board.

as for who i think should have more reps i put china because i truly believe that we need more reps from china.

and stefu is the funniest one, hands down.

Gargh, I've lost many points at the humorous movie because I couldn't remember the fricking name of Holy Grail and put Life of Brian instead...
I suck

I wasn't too bad... I would put Finland, but the question was "Which country should have more representation", and we have enough Finns right now...
