Call for poll ideas

I'm making a formal request for poll suggestions. Obviously they should pertain to Cornell Hockey. Please send them via PM,
BUT WAIT...
I have rules. If you don't follow any of the rules, your suggestion will not be used and I'll become irate. Well, more irate.
1. These should be opinion polls, not Magic 8-balls. Don't ask anything about predicting the future, such as, "Where will Cornell finish..." or "How many goals will Bob score...".
2. There should be 2-4 clear choices. (This can be a bit flexible for a really good question, but no "Who is your favorite player?! Yay!" please)
3. Questions don't necessarily need to be opinions, if they're of a particularly interesting subject matter. "Are you going to Red Hot Hockey II?" is an acceptable question, just not a very interesting one.
Have at it. Thanks in advance!
As an aside, if you really want to know something that falls outside these rules, feel free to make a topic with the new poll feature. I just don't want them in the official poll at the top of the page.

Do existential hockey questions count?
What is hockey, really?
What is hockey, really?
- a sport played on ice with a puck and skates
- an exploration of mankind's physical and pyschological boundaries
- a manifestation of our illusion of reality
- who said it really is?
- Harvard sucks

Age, how about a metapoll of what should be the next poll question? Actually, failing that, I really like ftyuv's idea.

I think we should include "Harvard sucks" as one of the possible answers in every poll.ftyuv

It kind of destroys the point of a poll when everyone votes for the same thing, though.

Be careful where you go with this. And yes there is an emoticon for this, well at least in the ballpark, but I'd rather not use it.BMac
