Maybe it's just me, but I didn't think there was a slip of the mind at all.

  • Having both "less polls" and "fewer polls" is funny, because one is grammatically correct and one isn't.
  • "Funnier polls" is different from "more funny polls" ("funnier polls" implies keeping the number the same, but increasing the funniness). I guess in order to maintain parallelism, there could also have been a "seriouser polls" in addition to "more serious polls". Then again, "more serious polls" is ambiguous and could be interpreted either way. :-)
  • "Magnetic monopolls" and "fishing polls" are obviously just puns.
  • "Event notification" is also an indirect pun... the original option was "Event notification (polling sucks)", but I guess it was decided that saying it that way made the pun too explicit.

Anyway, I think this poll was mostly intended to be humorous rather than serious, although we can "seriously" see from the results that people would like to see more polls.
