Keith, you have to refuse me permission to create polls.  Every time I have a random thought, I seem to make it into a poll.  It’s not good.  I need help!

Please don’t complain too much about the lack of options.  I know there’s a heck of a lot that isn’t listed here (different possums, roos, gliders, etc, not to mention bettongs, quolls, bilbies, koalas, tasmanian devils and bandicoots), but the poll is limited to 12 measly choices. 

If you’re not sure what a mammal is, take a couple of refresher courses;

I’ll have to do a little studying before I cast my vote, since I’m unfamiliar with some of the options.  They may just turn out to be my favorite. 

Quokko?  I hope it has a long snout.

Quokkas have teeny little noses:

I can’t believe a didn’t put in potoroos as an option.  I held one last weekend and they’re just unbearably adorable.  However, so is a sugar glider.  So many choices!

Does your edit screen look like the attached image?

Yes, that’s it.  You’re going to tell me there’s a edit poll option on there, aren’t you…

No, you’re going to tell me whether or not there’s an edit poll option…

There’s no edit poll option.  That I can see.  The sun may be blinding me, of course. 

No, no, there really isn’t.  I can see it on your image now, but I don’t have that little feature (yes, i’m trying it on my original post).

I have finally cast my vote (noticing as I do that Scriners, like most Americans, make lousy voters).  I have gone with the echnidna because of its snout.  Also, if I were an animal, I think I might look eerily echnidna-like.

Echidnas are amazing.  I can vaguely recall holding one when I was a young girl; not at all spikey, just rather cool and bumpy.  I don’t think we’re any better at voting, it’s probavly just the threat of a fine that does it.
