A fascinating place, especially when looking at the relationship between questions and number of poll participants :-) In there I found the cheesburger poll, especially the one questioning the "toppingness" of the cheese. To share my own confusion locate that poll and click on it. You will see and amazing -41 votes in favour of cheese being a valid cheesburger topping ... How can there be a negative number of voters ???

Well, I've seen post counts on UBBs go down to negative numbers at times. I'm not sure how to explain it, but it happens. As (someone, I'm too lazy to press the "back" button) said, the number of votes on that poll probably went over some unset limit, therefore reverting to negative numbers. On the UBBs where I've seen them, it's because someone went on a deleting spree. Maybe Sam deleted a bunch of votes..? (If that's possible... but I doubt he'd do that, although I don't know him all that well.)
