Nope. Why spoil the fun?

Now for the really scary bit - the Survey Results.

About 70 % of fishheads I asked picked another another number (six or ten
was common) and a different vegetable (but no trends were apparent).

Of the normal people (???) I tested about 85 % picked seven and carrots. An
interesting comment that many of these people made was that they didn't
actually pick carrot as the answer, but just said it. And then realised that
they where thinking off carrots.

The test pool was relatively small - about 30 normal (???) people and 20
fishheads including the definite weirdos on the RML.

For the record I picked six and brussel sprouts???? And most of my
genetically related relatives picked something different too - they are
mostly fishheads also.

Thanks for playing.

Byee,
