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.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
