So I'm thinking that either Sprig wrote the current poll, or "Psichosis" is someone turning psionic?

Today's poll is courtesy of Nessa, and yes, all misspellings are on purpose. May I just say that I would love to catch an intense case of Nymphoma.

They are all based on real diseases/symptoms. Some are obvious. I can post what I based them on, if you want.

Fell, you changed Tendinkenisis (to Telekinekeness). It was that way on purpose. Tendinitis (a tendon injury, like tennis elbow) + Telekinesis. Just so you know it was that way for a reason (and so no one thinks I came up with something as strage as Telekinekeness ;)).

Yes, I typically take liberties with polls that are submitted by other people. Tendonkinesis is not as funny to me as Telekinekeness, for reasons that will be clear to anyone who knows Spriggan in real life.

I'm thinking I need the back story for this one. Please tell!

Let's just say that with some words, Sprig pronounces about as well as he spells. He always adds a k into that word, and I have no idea why.

lol. It must be a Sanderson family thing. Anybody notice how EUOL always pronounces "especially" like "eck-specially." He'd say this word like that in class all the time, and it drove me bonkers.

The new poll is freaking awesome, one of the funniest I've seen, it was actually hard to pick what to vote for this time.

Personally, I think this week's poll is better. But that's because it's all about me!

So is there some reason why my vote for the last option never goes through?
