I voted HP, because it was the book of the moment and fo course likely to be the fav. I really should have voted Bush: after al, i also though "Hmm, Bush is not 20th century", but the point is to answer with stupid, and what would stuppid really have said?
Than answer would have put me at 62, not 51....darn.

Why thankyou. The clue's in the title really. Don't even think about your answers, just stick down the token scape-goat or falvour-of-the-week answer, and everyone else'll do the same. Lowest common denominator philosophy.
And now I have to come up with another round of questions. Damn. I'll try and make them a little less mindless.

I have plenty of question's ideas.
Oh, and mindless is good, to a certain extent, in some question types.

I thought about Harry Porter, then said to myself, "Nah, can't be, that's not a single book."
Pah! Foul!

Harry Potter  Oh well, at least the Guide came second. That and the last one the only ones I got wrong, so 58 is pretty respectable.

Wow, I didn't go too badly, above average even!
There was more than one George Bush?

But was he a George W Bush? Isn't that the Geroge H Bush that is also mentioned for less points? Indeed, did those that put George Bush state which one? I couldn't care less that he wasn't 20th century, I know that half this board will take any excuse to take a pot-shot at him? I'm surprised Clinton didn't come higher, from the other half of the board.

drogue, everyone that put bush down, and didnt specify, i asked them to specify. in the case of skanky, he refused to specify which one, so i put him down as george H bush.

Like you can't vote for LotR as the best book, because it's not a single book.

I had frankly no idea for the best book of the 20th century, and I didn't even think of the guide or Hairy Porter. I ended up voting Zylka as the best book, because I wanted to get 2 points on this one

Best book of the last 25 years. Which rules out Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King, but still someone voted "LotR".

I did, based on the George W. Bush answer. I thought that more people would have voted for it than there were.
Didn't even think of Hitchhiker's or HP-I've never read harry pothead and don't plan on starting.
 ACK!

I have a good suggestion for a question: who will win this round?
Even better: make it so you get points for being RIGHT (on this question)

Well, I'll try to do it in the next hour (I have a few questions available already), but you can post suggestions here.
