POLLS
INTERESTING FACT- My brother has got a Japanese dictionary & while looking through it I found out that "Chii" means level, position, rank or status. however it is written in Kanji & the Chii we all know is written in Kana therefore the Chii from Chobits might mean something else or it is just a name with no meaning at all.
