And Our Favorite Clue Character is...

The Spoon's first poll is over and the results are in... And it's a tie!

Miss Scarlett ties Mr. Green as the readers' favorite Clue characters.

Congratulations to co-winner Miss Scarlett

The strong leader for most of the week, Mr. Green saw his winning margin suddenly disappear in the poll's final hours. Between approximately 12:00pm and 4:00pm on Thursday, July 26th Miss Scarlett's votes spiked by nearly 100%. When asked about the fortuitous outcome Miss Scarlett credited her "killer sense of luck" while kissing her personal good luck charm shaped like a 3 foot metal rod.

Amid cries of foul play by those in Mr. Green's camp, an impartial third party has begun investigating the voting process for signs of possible wrongdoing. Early findings have been inconclusive and the lead investigator has chosen to hold onto his cards before filing any accusations.

Mr. Green could not be reached for comment.

Transformation Underway

The Spoon thanks you for your patience as we undergo the painful transformation towards an upgraded template. All links and other flashy objects should be up later today. In the meantime vote for your favorite Clue character in the sidebar poll. Yes it's a terrible poll idea, but it can only get better from now on. At least that's what we keep telling ourselves.

Some Heroes have all the fun

As I watched Heroes last night, I couldn't help but feel left out. Seemingly ordinary folks like you and me were learning how to cheat at cards (Hiro), avoid the law (Nikki), and pick up women (the mind reading guy can sooo do this) using their emerging super powers. I wanted some of that action.

But while I'm very familiar with my desire to use superpowers to cheat, lie, and pick up women, I'd really like to know what you, my dear furry readers, want in your greedy little hearts. Do you want to use your mind-reading powers to always win in strip poker? Maybe you'd like to save on airfare for your vacation? I'm intrigued beyond safety regulations.

For convenient fantasizing purposes, I've put twelve powers together for your perusal. Vote for which one you'd most like to have and I encourage you to explain exactly (and in great detail) what you'd do in the comments section.

Spoilers may reside in the following poll. Sneaky bastards.

Which Heroes' superpower would you most want to have?

• 
  
  Read people's minds


• 
  
  Paint the future (brushes and other accessories sold separately)


• 
  
  Fly


• 
  
  Split personality that can do anything and get away with it


• 
  
  Manipulate time and space


• 
  
  Be invulnerable/fast healing


• 
  
  Temporarily move through permanent objects (like walls, locker room doors, etc)


• 
  
  Burn things


• 
  
  Super learning ability


• 
  
  Absorb other people's powers (this one's speculative)


• 
  
  Manipulate machinery and technology (also speculative)


• 
  
  Physically visit the past (admittedly, a wild guess)


• 
  
  No powers for me, thanks. I already have a job
