God Poll: This looks like a nice AJAX application that happens to ask some interesting questions. I'm showing it to you because of the technology, not because of the content. Not to encourage you to crash a poll or anything. Just because PZ does that.

It's a nice looking interface but something is funky on the back end. I cast my votes and returned an hour later and the total number of votes had decreased.

It's not ajax, that's flash.....

Will,
It may be that the poll creator is removing those votes that were placed by visitors referred by PZ's site (for instance). The referring site's url is part of the packet stream and could be saved for later reference to try and sanitize the results a bit.
The site could also be resetting the numbers periodically.

The God Poll has nothing on www.polldaily.com. My favorite poll there is what is your favorite pick up line. http://www.polldaily.com/polls/2008-11-p29-best-pickup-line.aspx
Spread the word

Strange
The poll has at the moment around 3830 votes plus or minus 30 which is possible due to the format used. Except for do humans have souls. Which stands at only 1400.

It's official now. That poll is crap. Just looked again and the numbers changed majorly from what I put up earlier
2 values at roughly 5k, 2 at roughly 3k, 1 at roughly 1.5k (Which isn't the do humans have souls)
