Thank you for the suggestions. The creative input can certainly be helpful.

However, you haven't finished these polls. At least I presume that you don't really want the last choice to be "etc". So you'd like someone else to finish the poll choices?

It can be fun to whip out a quick poll suggestion and it is pretty easy to come up with an interesting topic and a couple of interesting choices. But the hard part of coming up with a poll is figuring out exactly which choices to include. If one really wants to help out with getting better polls created, then doing the hard part of the work is going be more appreciated than doing the (sometimes) easy part (sometimes coming up with a topic is difficult in a different way).

So I thank you again for the suggestions and I'll look at them again when I think it has come time for a new poll and I may use one of them as a starting point.

And I also thank you for giving me an example to let me clarify what I mean by "do the work".

There will always be options that some will think should have been included even though the poll author didn't think so (sometimes as an oversight, sometimes as a difference of opinion). When I've been involved in or seen polls being composed for PerlMonks, quite a lot of effort goes into looking for choices that should be included.
