- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

I've got 99 references but this poll ain't one.

The reference "THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!" often attributed to Captain Piccard is actually a pointer to a similar reference (terms are not strict, so pedants fuck off) in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. This [stackexchange.com] post on stack exchange sums up the explanation nicely:

I'm somewhat disappointed that 42 isn't in the lead. After all, it's the answer to everything right?

None of these references have citations, so none of them count. I must therefore invoke the "my option isn't on the poll" reference.

Hrm.. a 0-indexed set would still have s[0]. Think you are looking for a null-reference s == 0.

640 references should be enough for anyone.
On the other hand, I think there's a world market for about five references.

I want one point twenty-one jigga-references. (yes, that's giga, but so few pronounce it the "right" way)
I would certainly expect the number of references to go to 11.
