The wording of this USA Today poll struck me as odd:
Q: Is the Triple Crown too tough?
Yes: The horses need more time to recover
No: Would dilute prestige of winning Triple Crown
What does "dilute prestige of winning Triple Crown" have to do with the question? Unreal....
BTW, out of 5712 votes:
YES - 47%
NO - 53%
53% answered the one that makes no sense.
What is 4 + 7?
Blue!
Where do I vote?
:lol::lol::lol:
I guess one could advertise the Brooklyn Bridge in USA Today and get bids! Not the brigthest bulbs on the tree, USAToday readers!

The poll is a sidebar item that goes along with an article about extending the calendar dates for the Triple Crown series.
And, I don't know if the wording of the poll has changed -- but as of a few minutes ago it said:
Is the Triple Crown too tough?
Should more time be built between the races?

They could have asked: Do you want the TC races farther apart?
Yes- we want another TC winner.
No- we want more injuries.

25% Said "Yes." "The horsey's need more rest."
38% Said "No." "I already have reservations for the Preakness for 2007, 2008 and 2009."
61% Said "Maybe." "Depends on whether or not there is a NSACAR race the day of the Preakness."
And 9% recognized that this is way more than 100% and thereafter confimred that the people doing the math were the same dimwits who came up with the stupid comment about "..dilluting the prestige...".
dcc....:lol:
35% think they are still paying 50 cents for USA Today!
