As poll titles can't contain links, this one can't work as is, but someone might recommend some solution for that. Also, the topic of this one might be wrong for polls.

• telling the truth
• installing perl instead of VB on a linux box, annoyed with learning perl, making a silly joke
• 12, but joking otherwise
• older, but funny
• trolling
• flaming
• actually a well-known monk

The answers are not really exclusive, but that's not a big problem I think.
