This poll was remotely suggested by ShadowSakura. If you don't know your sign, go look it up! Google is your best friend. (And no "I don't know" option because I don't want lazy answers.) I'm predicting fairly evenly distributed answers.

This fun little poll was suggested by scottishmanga. Pretty self-explanatory in my opinion. You are what you eat. No forum thread for this one. By the way, I could really use some all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ right now...

Wow, more whites than Asians. I was kinda thinking it'd turn out the other way...
This is my own poll on what you most consider yourself in terms of ancestry. Unfortunately, the way polls are done makes an option of "Mixed" very challenging to get any good results, so I left that option out on purpose. Make due with what you got. No need for a forum thread on this poll.
