My wife and I were married in a civil ceremony here in Ottawa 25 years ago, and we’re still together and still in love. The wedding was a bit traumatic for our religious families, but they stuck with us anyway and grew to accept us as we are.
In retrospect, the bad math might have something to do with my editing the poll to take out the disclaimer, so I could put it into the post itself — it was messing up my sidebar. Oops.
I’m expecting trauma too. I don’t think my dad fully realizes I’m an atheist.
Name's Jason Thibeault. I'm an IT guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS, science of all stripes (especially space-related stuff), and debating on-line and off. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though.

What a great idea for a wedding gift!
Their very own Pharyngulized poll.

Uh… somehow it had two votes that it didn’t also count as votERS… and that screwed up the math. So, I fixed that. Hopefully it’ll stay fixed.

* Yes (98%, 65 Votes)
* No (2%, 1 Votes)
… It’s never a truly pharyngulated poll if it’s at 100%, so to you who voted no, thank you!

I think the better poll question would have been;
“Should Jodi have asked Jason to marry her?”

You think even a 1,000,000 to 0 vote count would convince her otherwise, DuWayne?
