Poll: Stupidest Poll EVER

Stupidest Poll EVER
As I was cleaning bugs off my bike I was cleaning them off my valve cover and I thought to myself "smacking into this valve cover has to be much worse than smacking into the headlight or mirrors because of how hot the valve cover is". So I began wondering to myself "I wonder if they die of the smacking into it or die because of the heat first ?" I wonder which kills them first ?



I think the smacking into it kills them   (67.9%)
I think the HEAT kills them first   (0%)
This is ridiculous, why did you even make up this poll ?   (32.1%)
Total votes: 28

Once the green guts are splattered about i'm sure they don't care.

Are we ruling out dying of shock? or is that part of hitting it?

I bounced a sparrow off the bike windshield a few days back. It probably lived but was flying pretty retarded.

The old rule of what goes though a bugs mind as it hits the windshield....it's a$$hole... I don't think the heat will ever be a factor after that.

I would think the smooshed bugs on the headers would be way way hotter than on the valve covers..

Whenever I am driving at dusk and watch all the bugs smashing into my windshield I think about all the planes, trains and automobiles driving all around the world smashing bugs constantly.

I have one question: how are there any bugs left????!!!!

I think there surely is an ecological disaster just around the corner as the last bug on earth runs into a Mack truck. All the birds will then die, then those animals which rely on birds (are there any???), sooner or later you and me are extinct because we carelessly drive our vehicles headlong into certain disaster.

I think a government funded study is needed. We will probably have to lower the world wide speedlimit to 15 MPH to give the poor buggers a chance to get out of our way. Also, extra thin tires with deep tread to protect the crawling critters.

Anybody else think these things while driving?

I've only bought two brand new cars in my life and the first was a 1996 Monte Carlo Z34 special ordered through GM with all the options. I'm a member of "The GM Family" thus can swing certain discounts in many ways and on that one it required that I pick it up from a dealer in Atchison, KS.

I flew up there, dealer picked me up at the KC airport, took delivery of the car and started driving the long way back West across Kansas.

Out in the middle of nowhere I stopped for gas & a coke and had to clean a ton of bugs off the just hours earlier pristeen windshield.

I remarked that there sure were a lot of bugs on this stretch of Kansas road compared to my home state of Oklahoma and without even pausing the cashier sad:

"Those aren't Kansas bugs, they're Missouri bugs that prefer our crops over the ones in their home state. Our bugs are too smart to get in the way of cars."

These bugs are kamakazee's. They all aim to try to take us out but we shall prevail. They don't like that we are slightly higher on the evolutionary scale.
