Incidentally, it was *during* the time I was writing my post that I read yours. :) It was a pleasant coincidence! <a href="#comment-1050" rel="nofollow">@Shiv</a> Oh yeah... I just keep blocking them as they come! :D And yet they come up with more ridiculous quizzes. I like the ones on movies, though! <a href="#comment-1060" rel="nofollow">@Archana</a> Ha ha! Your issues with poking reminded me of a University of Pennsylvania based a cappella band called "Penn Masala" who sang The Facebook skit! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FahBBnfHAQ" rel="nofollow">You must watch it</a>! <a href="#comment-1065" rel="nofollow">@rads</a> :D Don't worry, you are not alone! I think most bloggers are like that! *Ahem* <a href="#comment-1068" rel="nofollow">@Anubhav</a> Thanks Anubhav! I must confess that creativity lies in our profession - looking at data and trying to come up with something that will explain why it is so odd :D Every PhD is going to vouch for this. If they contradict, they are lying! <a href="#comment-1070" rel="nofollow">@Nikhil</a> You are not one of us! In other words, you actually have a life! Aaah... I miss those days! :( <a href="#comment-1074" rel="nofollow">@Reva</a> Hello LaFemmeReva! Thank you so much for the compliments! What brain are you? Literally? Left and right!? I feel the categories should be - useful, useless, will do something great someday, expendable, pointless, waste of oxygen, will prevent something great from happening someday... :) <a href="#comment-1082" rel="nofollow">@Kadambari</a> Thank you Kadambari! You know what, your comment gave me a great idea for a new "Thoughts in 2D" graph. It will be coming soon - you'll be the first to know! :) <a href="#comment-1093" rel="nofollow">@iswarya</a> Hi I-still-love-the-way-you-spell-your-name, I am not judging you, don't worry :P Thank you everyone for the amazing comments! @Nikita

Your charts and graphs! And Facebook quizzes are the biggest joke. Especially its latest layout makes it a pain to scroll through that useless stuff in search of worthy 'information', if any! Most of those wild quiz takers are off my home page visible list now! But the number of quizzes there are increasing at an alarming rate! Now, that's scary! :) Lol! Your charts and graphs!
