That reminds me, Itās time for a showdown!
Iām gonna recap, then weāll have a vote-off. To that end, I think itās time to end all new submissions.
Entry 1
Entry 2
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Then I stare at them for a moment before finally turning around and walking away intently while never making any movement with any part of my body from the waist upā¦ then probably have more pints, because, well, pints
Entry 3
The blue ringed octopus lives in rock pools, not in the open ocean. Sharks are adorable, pools kill more people than sharks . Also surfing in a pool is even more boring than scuba in a pool.
And anyway your not safe on land either:

Noā¦ donāt do this. Iāve explained this elsewhere, but basically you are going to burn shit out.
A button is a simple device. It shorts two contacts. Thatās all. Itās literally just a piece of metal that you physically press down that shorts two conductors together. Typically speaking, the circuit designed to detect user interface button presses (basically all low voltage digital devices) has itās own ideas about the electrons it wants to push down one of those conductors, and detect coming bacā¦

Do you like the xG3?
Do you like it, between you and me?
You should get one if itās free

This experimental implant case report may be of interest. It describes a set of magnetic implants affixed to ocular muscles and orbital walls, to ālock downā the gaze of a patient with nystagmus - for lack of a better ultra-short description.
The interesting bits are the construction of the magnets themselves, and their attachment to the muscles:
Implant Design
We designed a 2-part rare-earth magnetic implant consisting of a small cylindrical ocular part designed to be sutured to an extraoculā¦

Fun Fact:
Amal actually has a twin brother Juan. Their mother only keeps a picture of Juan in her wallet though because if youāve seen Juan youāve seen Amal.

Looking pretty split so far. Place your bets now.
Just wondering how that poll looks to a colour blind personā¦oh well, now we know maybe a bar graph would be better for next year

Thats what I thought,
you can however hover or select the pie slice and it will tell you
option:number of votes
ie. 02:3 in this example
Also starting at 12 Oāclock going clockwise, the options remain in numerical order (zero votes are not visibleā¦ obviously) regardless on vote numbers, whereas the Bar graph adjusts to display highest number of votes first.

Early voting looks evenly split. I guess that means we got a lot of top-notch posting going on in the forum

Now that 2020 is over (thank God) I thought itād be a good idea to announce the results.
Looks like a tie for the best post, with 5 votes each for #4 and #12 .

Sadly, I must disqualify entry #12 on grounds the joke does not work with the actual correct pronunciation of my name. Therefore I crown myself winner of the best post of 2020!

I object!
Reason 1: The āPhonetic Inconsistency of the English Languageā.
Reason 2: This ambiguity of pronunciation adds further value to the joke,
leads the reader to the 'Experience of Understanding.
Please consider my appeal!
