| I replied "zombie" | Feb 26, 2017 |
but after I read other replies it dawned on me that if a zombie eats my brain it will die immediately being overflooded with words. Therefore, I'm a zombie poison!

We add:
Please, ProZ staff, prevent the post of polls this stupid, and of such a bad taste?
*Such* polls are a great waste of time.

These are really getting worse!!!
We are a serious profession and I am for a bit of fun, but this is really getting to be really really stupid lately!!!

I haven't seen a single zombie movie, so I have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry, does not apply in my case.

I was in investment banking for 14 years. The zombie apocalypse will be a walk in the park compared with that.

| Very funny poll | Feb 26, 2017 |
I am currently reading Max Brook's The Zombie Survival Guide just for fun, and it is fun and also very interesting.
For those saying this is a waste of time, why wasting even more of your time replying it?

Considering that I only know what this question means because I happened to translate zombie movie synopses for a media client, it's safe to assume I would be a scientist in this scenario - someone who works for a solution behind the scenes with her mind/brain only, but without any actual contact with the "real" world.
While I do strongly dislike (I actually really hate) this line of fantasy, I think the question is funny, and probably others would find it smart, too, if those movie...

While I do strongly dislike (I actually really hate) this line of fantasy, I think the question is funny, and probably others would find it smart, too, if those movies themselves weren't so incredibly idiotic. If the question were phrased like this: "which role in a dystopia?", the colleagues wouldn't find it so repulsive. ▲ Collapse

| My defense of the quick polls has just been destroyed | Feb 27, 2017 |
In the last post, I criticized someone who said "I'm no longer 8 years old", then this poll comes out immediately after that! It makes it really hard to defend the Quick Polls, you know? I mean asking such a question in a translators poll... In general, fans of zombie movies and translators are not in the same boat. The intellectual levels are quite different.

| Despite "everyone" finding this poll ridiculous... | Feb 27, 2017 |
23 have responded, while today's poll about rates, has been much less successful.
I too kind of like the odd "fantasy poll" on the weekend - often they give more food for thought, than say, a survey question about CAT tools

I am not the poster, just to reassure you. And you assuming I am the only one finding this funny means you did not read all answers.

| When will it happen? | Feb 27, 2017 |
Just so as I can prepare myself. 2020? And how would translating help us to prepare for it?
