Ummm......Tash, I don't want to make you mad at me or anything.  But I DO NOT UNDERSTAND what is so great and wonderful about polls that you need to wet your pants over.  Someone, please enlighten me.  I'm seriously confused here.

You forgot Africa?

If you include that, you won't need Other, as your categories would then cover all possibilities and be mutually exclusive (although I'm not sure what you mean by naming someone's continent - I put Australia simply coz I live there and consider myself Australian.)

Sorry, these polls amuse me, since I'm a statistician and spent over 2 years designing questionnaires...

     Janice, why wouldn't you be excited?  Actually, This poll has gotten me VERY excited.  In fact, I wet my pants before I even opened the thread, to be quite honest.

the aliens out there...or the africans...

to those who aren't excited by the poll, just imagine if you were a poll, and you were newly added some some exciting forum, and nobody cared? how rejected would you feel? so i take it by my duty to make the polls feel welcome so they are happy :)

reminds me of back in yr8 when i wouldn't let anyone kick the bins at lunchtime cos it hurt their feelings...

Antarctica    (2.3%)

Aha! Definitive proof that there does indeed exist a top-secret antarctic piano conservatory. 2.3% of the world's pianists are there (probably the best 2.3%).

The UK in the European Union (then EEC) since 1973. Should we put it in a category of its own? What would the Sun have to say?  ;D

Well defined. Any still geographically challenged forum members are advised to consult a (world ;D) atlas near them. :)
