  Hi everybody! I want to thank everybody who took yesterday's poll! (If you haven't already seen it or taken it, please do. It's not too late, and it would really help me out) those of you who took it really gave some great answers! I was particularly impressed with your answers to the first 4 questions (the ones about interpreting song lyrics). #2 was probably the hardest one, and you came really close to nailing it!
Since there may be a few people who are yet to take the quiz, I won't give away the answers for #1-4. But, weather you've taken the test yet or not, these should help you out. I took the section of the song that contained the lyrics I gave you so you could hear how...well, how it sounded.

Here's question #1:

And here's question #2:

I couldn't get the audible segments from #3 or #4, since I don't own those songs. Sorry.
Tomorrow I'll post what the songs are supposed to mean (though I'm just asking you to interpret the lyrics, so there's no right or wrong answer within reason), along with some closure to some of the more confusing questions.
I see that nobody made a run for the bonus of identifying the songs, though. Since they're given away by the little Media-player tabs, I'll just get #1 and #2 out of the way:
#1 was "Disposable Heroes", and #2 was "The Shortest Straw", both of which are by Metallica. \m/^_^\m/ You can still try #3 and #4! Hint: Both of those are also by Metallica. ~_'

Artwork that Deserves a Mention :

Check out these awesome Easter-themed pics! The first is by Akane the Fox, and the second is by The-Pie!



And this amazing sketch work is supposed to have been done by ElfofHyrule, but she has recently been accused of stealing this pic. So until we know if she's the real artist, let's praise whoever the real artist may be. (I'd also like to dedicate the posting of this pic to our EAMR, as well as all you other awesome LOZ fans)


Blurbs :
*In case you've been hiding under a rock for the past few days, Lindsey is back on The Otaku and healing as we speak! She is also home from Spring Break meaning she is now back to her turbo-internet! But Lindsey currently has 80 PM's to go through, so if you need to send her something that is not an emergency, you may want to wait a day or 2.
*Miyoko-chan is back on The Otaku as well (just got back from a church conv. and then an anime conv.), and has submitted several new pics with more on the way!
*Adam has recently revamped some of The Otaku's structure, and leaves some convenient new features to be explored!

And on a very small side-note, I have something to chew on for some of you fellow anime fans. Recently in biology, we took notes which contained the 4 terms for species parts: The anterior, posterior, the dorsal or something, and something else. Basically just fancy names for top, bottom, front and back. Any who, we had to draw 4 small pics of an organism showing front, back, side and top. I chose to do a turtle, since it's pretty simple. Here's the challenge: Can anyone guess which turtle I drew? I'll bet you dollars to dip-switches that Miyoko-chan will get this one right. ~_'

Oh, and one last thing. Many people say that my polls are a bit too long. Is that true? Would you be willing to answer shorter polls, but do it more often?

Thanks everybody, and I'll see you tomorrow!
