This time around, I tried to pretty up the results a bit by copying the format of my Bi-Weekly Poll Results. People have responded to this survey much more quickly than my first one, which I suspect is because it's only half as long. There are a couple of interesting findings in here, but for the most part, I was interested in funny answers, and I got quite a few.

Question 1

What gender are you going with this week?
Male (186)	66.0%
Female (50)	17.7%
What's a gender? (That's okay, Ralph Wiggum, just lay your head down and have a nice sleep) (14)	5.0%
That's none of your business, punky! (8)	2.8%
Still waiting for the tests to come back! (24)	8.5%

Paul, The Gleeman of Rock, said he was male, and hoped he would be the same next week (I would keep a fair distance between you and a scalpel, then). Lord Frog XXI has 'moved beyond such human concepts as gender', which shouldn't be surprising since he's a frog. Big Hills asks, 'Is hermaphrodite a gender?' I'm sure Howard Stern knows the answer. Kaggzz clicked on 'male', but notes that 'I was female at the start of the series'; Kaggzz and Paul need to get together and compare notes. KMAC adds, 'Last time I checked I had an Oath Rod'; he must be happy, since all these women want to get their hands on it. Ozymandius says his gender is male, '...since it's a Tuesday'. Mondays must really suck for that guy. Bela din Calon White Horse scratches his head: 'I'm not sure. It depends on what the Dark One's got planned for me today'. If He asks you to go lingerie shopping with His girlfriend, DON'T DO IT!!! It's a trap! Kevin B says he's male, but he's also 'occasionally attached to a woman'. That must be hard on the back. And finally, Lord Bill embarks on a voyage of discovery: 'Um... let me check... oh my God, I thought I was female and here I have a...' It's a tadpole, Lord Bill. Ask Lord Frog XXI about it.

As in the first survey, most of the respondents have been male, which proves my theory that men have way more useless free time on their hands than women.

Kaggzz would ask Jordan, "WHERE THE FRIGGIN HELL IS THE REST OF MY BOOK?!?!?!", and then 'I would slowly kill him using a bucket of salt, a roll of ducktape, and a dull knife'. Lucky for Bill Clinton that Hillary isn't this creative. Ashaman wants to know if 'he's been watching any Police Academy movies' - hey, I loved that guy who made the noises with his mouth. Ravriem wrote that 'I would congratulate him on his clever plan of extending the series to reap in the profits, and would blackmail him by threatening to uncover this plan, thus increasing my personal wealth'. Thanks for stopping by, Dogbert.

Most people have wanted to be polite, which was a pleasant surprise, although there are certainly some Mat sympathizers in the crowd. If I were Jordan, though, I'd keep my door locked at all times just to be safe.

Lord Frog XXI insists that Dashiva is really a nice person, and compared to someone like Saddam Hussein, I would agree. Kaggzz points out that 'you can't really rap "Dashiva, Dashiva baby"', but I would also like to point out that you can't really rap 'Ice, Ice Baby' either. Steve Yosten made this discovery: 'Vanilla Ice'gar'. Spooky. The Lord of Darkness insists that Dashiva is 'really Stone Cold Steve Austin, a new mysterious forsaken'. Does that mean his channeling is faked, too? The Duke figures that Dashiva 'saw the chicks and wanted his own harem'. Well, who wouldn't? Ryan Early suggests that 'the voice in his head sounds like Charlton Heston. I'd do what it says, too'. If you see a half-buried Statue of Liberty, you're in the wrong movie.

This was a close race; I didn't realize so many people still remembered Vanilla Ice (quick, what was his real name?). I'm also disappointed in that I only got one death threat from an NRA member; come on, people, that's why you have guns, isn't it? To kill people you don't like?

Honest Bob wants to read about the 'gratuitous sex of Randy Rand and his harem' - now, really, folks, is there such a thing as 'non-gratuitous' sex? Ted Turner, please sit down.

Everybody wants to know what happened to Mat, which is a clear indicator that Jordan really made a big boo-boo by not even mentioning the lad once in Path of Daggers. He better be in the prologue of the next book, or there will be some severe retribution by WOT fans, like, say, waiting an extra day to buy it.

Ashaman's idea of pathetic was 'not realizing till the eighth book that the entire story does not revolve around Bela the Talking Mule'. Does Bela the horse know a talking mule stole her name? Ravriem's idea: 'Needing a friend to come out of hiding JUST to tell you how to handle your damn woman'. Poor Elyas, once king of the wolves, reduced to playing the role of Dear Abby.

Writing this question, I knew what the popular answer would be, but what surprised me was how vehement a lot of people were in justifying their choice. I read a lot of unprintable words (this is a family show, after all) intended to express disappointment in Jordan and Path of Daggers in general.
