Odds & Ends: Caller ID, Polls, Kissing, Formspring, Mario, Headlines

Thoughts while sitting in boredom for hours at the hospital today:

• My cell phone has had caller ID on it for years. When I get a call, I KNOW who it is 90% of the time. Why do I still always answer with "hello?"
• I love online polls that provide three choices: Yes, No, and Undecided. Undecided somehow always has about 10% of the vote. What kind of person wants the world to know that they have absolutely no opinion on a given subject? Do they love answering polls that much? Can't they just click "View Results"??
• Years of watching TV and movie makeouts has made me really curious about what I look like while kissing. I suppose it doesn't matter, since generally no one is watching me. But even in the absence of an audience, I think I'd still feel embarrassed if I was as bad as some actors and actresses are.
  
• Formsprings seem like they should be more exciting than they are. They remind me of a porn film without nudity. The promise of anonymous questions makes it seem like you'll get some really juicy stuff, but I, for one, would feel dirty asking juicy questions just because I can maintain anonymity. And why would the recipient feel obligated to answer stuff like that anyway? I guess the harmless questions that get posed are still sort of amusing, but why not just ask those in ACTUAL conversation? If there's no nudity, why not make it a ACTUAL film instead of a porno, you know?
• A good nickname for Mario (of the Mario Bros.) would be "The Round Mound of Ground Pound."
• Headline on CP24 today: "Pakistani cricket player and Indian tennis star wed." I wonder how that cricket dude feels knowing that he's a mere player, while his new wife is a star.
