How the Votes Have Been Cast
You've found the EastBayRag vote page. Here, you get the opportunity to let us know what you think. Each week, we will have votes on important issues. Well, probably not important issues, more like trivial things that come to mind on a Sunday morning after a belly full of beer from a Saturday night.
This week's current vote is shown above. After the votes are in, EBR will provide in depth analysis of the results so you can find out if you are running with the crowd or if you're out there on your own. You never know, you may even learn something, but that's highly unlikely. Analysis of last week's vote is shown below. If you want to see historic votes, checkout the vote archives.
Oh! And the cool thing before I forget, the graphs update as you vote ...... Wow! And what's more, the colors are allocated randomly, so each time you refresh the page, you will see different colors on the graphs. (F5 is normally the shortcut key to refresh, but may depend on your browser.) Go on .... try it.
Analysis of Last Week's Vote
The following question was presented:
Alright, so I can't let my cat out now as I have to monitor him going to the toilet to make sure he doesn't get blocked again. I've bought a cat harness so I can take him for a walk outside and I'm planning to try it out tomorrow for the first time. I am, however, worried that he will escape the harness and run off. He'll come back, so it's not going to be a problem, but it will mean that I can't take him out again. It seems that if he walks forward, he'll be fine, but if he manages to pull backwards, he'll slip out of it. Will Zaphod slip his harness when I take him out for walks this week?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 75% of the votes selected from the following:
- Yes (25%)
- No (75%)
Analysis:
Interestingly enough, he didn't slip his harness, so most of you were right. That said, he didn't exactly like the experience. He really liked me putting the harness on him. I think it was because of the attention and fusses he was getting whilst I was doing it. When it was on he tried to bite the straps which was pretty normal. As soon as I attached the leash, he sat on the floor and refused to move. I thought I knew what to do so I opened the French doors and he literally flew outside until he got to the end of the leash. He then proceeded to sit down and not move, then suddenly fly somewhere. I did think about this and he needs training on it. The problem is that I can't pick him up when he's being awkward which makes it difficult. I have to tug at the leash and that's met with meows that seem to signal that he doesn't like it. We may have another go. I'm not sure yet though.
