Memes, etc

Based on recent public posts:

• I am apparently 59% male. Vertical or horizontal split? Diagonal, possibly? Or am I just a puree?
  Perhaps all that spam wasn't so misdirected?
  (Yeah, yeah, it's confidence intervals. But.)
  
• I write about on a ninth grade level.

I don't know how I'd answer the crush meme going around. When I was younger, I had intense crushes that usually lasted a year or more. I don't categorize "some attraction to X" in the same category at all. On the other end of things, a crush for me is something lopsided: once it's clearly reciprocated, it falls into some other category as well.

"Ruth's Chris Steakhouse" has always been a bizarre-sounding name: who is Ruth, and who/what is her Chris? As it turns out, it's somewhat stupid. Ruth bought a steakhouse already named Chris Steak House, and tacked her name on the front. It still is a silly-sounding name, though.

I used the huge tomato last night. I cut into a mostly golden, almost orange tomato that had touches of red at the bottom, and found that it had red blushes throughout. Just gorgeous.

Yeah, that's one of the many things I can't figure out how I'd categorize. And is a crush 'secret' if no one knows about it, or the crush-object doesn't? And what about the difference between a mild "X is attractive to me" (for brain, body, interest in wombats, whatever), and a "need to know X better NOW" sort of intensity? Etc, etc, etc.

Lots of people do not seem to have my difficulties, though, and I'm fascinated by the numbers....

I had the same kinds of difficulties, but that didn't stop me from filling out the poll.

I guess things are just too distinct in my mind to be able to do this poll.
