in reply to Sexiest Woman?

Male monks, will, in particular, be familiar with FHM's "The 100 Sexiest Women" poll. Results are published yearly in the magazine.

Um, not to be a complete dingus, but I'm a boy-monk, and I've never heard of "FHM." Checked out your site, and I haven't heard of most of these women, either. You kids and your damned new fangled Internet . . .

I thought some of the results in the FHM survey were quite dubious, so it will be interesting to see what results come up on the site.

Well, in a strictly statistical sense (and I'm no statistician, so please take those grains of salt as needed) I don't think that your results can ultimatly be used to comment on FHM's (whoever they are,) seeing as how there is no way to know if you are using comperable data sets (I mean, if I ask 100 bikers if my dog is prettier than your dog, and they vote for my dog, and then I go ask 130 beauticians and 617 Wall Street bankers, and they're all about your dog-- that won't prove that one dog is any prettier than the other (i mean, DOGS, for god's sake!), it just prove that bikers favor Dog A while beauticians and bankers favor Dog B.

Am I making any sense? All this dog talk is getting me sorta-- distracted, if you catch my meaning. Any possibility of you swapping your site over into a "100 most beautiful dogs site"? 'Cause if you do, I wanna put my dog in the running-- he's a real looker.)

But, so-- yeah, whatever.

    Pishaw. I think my dog is better looking than your dog.

      jcwren,
      This reply is in reply to the reply you made about your dog. She is quite nice. I have a German Shepherd myself. Hope that you have raised her with pride.
      Take care.

      Furthermore (and I'm not ranting, just clarifying) if I were as homely as that cur of yours, I'd shave my own ass and teach myself to walk backwards.

      Not to start a Jihad, or anything-- but you're on the rock, man. Your dog looks like a rug. If my dog were as ugly as your dog, I'd shave his (that is, my dog's) ass and teach him to walk backward.

      Also, my dog tap dances, which means he has your mutt beat in both the bathing suit AND talent competitions.

    FHM is 'For Him' magazine. There is an American and UK edition. It is very popular.

    It is just meant to be a bit of fun, not anything really serious. I'm not conducting a scientific experiment.

    Any possibility of you swapping your site over into a "100 most beautiful dogs site"?
    Well, when I release the code, you're more than welcome to set it up! ::grin::
