I posted this last week, asking for #Python users to fill out a silly little survey:

Use #Python at all? I would like to do a silly thing, which I hope will bring amusement to others as well as me (if it works out). If you wouldn't...

I got quite a few responses! Almost 300 at this point. I can use this! It'll be hilarious! I can still use more answers, though, because some of the answers are much more spread out than I expected, even after cleaning up and consolidating. I hope with a few more responses I get more obvious standouts answers. Please fill out the survey if you haven't :)
