"Anna (not Scott, Yairpot, -malai, University, teakadai, barber-shaap, -aachi moar kudunnga)" was brilliant!

And vote = index finger :) unless you meant your reaction to the results!

Tempting, but..no, You've got to read it in the right order - the order its meant to follow ;)

I stop at that lest anything else I say makes me a bad person. :P
