Zoo News Quickie

Dr. Aaron Fine, the head of Israel's Tatzpit polling agency told Arutz-7 Sunday that 75% of the public refuses to take part in polls, rendering poll results nearly useless. Dr. Fine posits that a much larger percentage of those who intend on voting for right-wing and religious parties refuse to answer pollsters than other voters. "They don’t like polls, they don't like the media and they want them to just leave them alone." (Article)

They took a poll and found out that people don't participate in polls. There is something deeply cynical about that result.

Wise words: Abraham Lincoln once asked an audience how many legs a dog has if you count the tail as a leg. When they answered "five," Lincoln told them that the answer was four. The fact that you called the tail a leg did not make it a leg.

Aisling: (Irish: aislinn; pronounced ASH-ling): A vision poem.

In an aisling, the island of Ireland appears to the poet in a vision in the form of a woman, sometimes young and beautiful, sometimes old and haggard. This female figure is generally referred to in the poems as An Spéirbhean (the sky-woman).
