Poll results: you're pretty young

If you're reading this, you're probably fairly young. My recent poll regarding the ages of readers shows that only about 10% of visitors to GFL are over the age of 50. Around 37% of readers are in their twenties, making this demographic group the largest on this blog. Click here for the full results.

Ah yes, of course the blog's 3rd largest demographic is the "under 10" group. That explains a lot of the comments on here.

I don't usually question the results of these polls, but that one looked a little fishy to me. Unless an entire class of 3rd graders visted the blog on the same afternoon, I'm not sure how that demographic jumped from 0% to over 10% in a matter of hours one day. Why would there be almost twice as many readers in the "under 10" category as there are in the "10-19" category? I wonder if someone thought it would be a good joke to skew the results...perhaps to poke fun at the intelligence level of the average GFL reader? It just doesn't add up.
