Hi everyone. This survey is purely for my and your enjoyment. I don't intend to gather any scientific or other data from it. But before you begin, let me give credit where credit is due. Tran, a regular visitor to our Trampled by Heavy Animals Bulletin board was the first person to come up with a similar survey. On his idea, I thought I would elaborate and hopefully have some fun with it. OK, that being said. I ask only that you be completely honest with yourself and the survey. But in the end, I just hope you have fun answering the questions.
