The Earring Contest Winner Is…

Wait! First, you need to look at my highly-scientific chart!

Yeah, I created a pie chart while watching American Idol last night. What of it?

(Did I hear you mumble “douchebag”? HUH?)

According to Wikipedia, “Genetically dominant, free earlobes are twice as common in the human population as attached lobes.”

No shit! Thanks to MY highly-scientific poll, I can assure clinical geneticists around the world that the research hasn’t been in vain! Free earlobes are twice as common! Whoorl readers PROVED IT.

I’m not just giving away earrings here, I’m validating SCIENCE.

What was I talking about?

Oh yes, the contest. I found some sort of random number generator website thingymajig, entered in the official number of comments, pressed the go button and:

I can’t look! The suspense!

And the winning random commenter is:

#186! Which would be:

Jocilyn! Who measures people’s ears! (ZOMGWTF.) You’re right, Jocilyn. There is no good explanation.

Congratulations to the Ear Measurer! I’ll be emailing you shortly.

    Even though I didn’t win, I still love this post. There not much in the world better than a pie chart! (Except maybe a Ven Diagram.)

    Sigh.

    Sorry to comment and thus require a “genetic anomaly” section of said pie chart. :)

    It seems fitting the ear measurer would win the earrings. Go Jocilyn!

    And since when did “freak” sound like “douchebag”? Cuz that’s what I muttered. ;)

    Congratumalations Jocilyn!
    I realize that I forgot to state my earlobe details yesterday. For the record one of my earlobes is “strange” (have you ever had a nightmare where your earring gets torn out through your earlobe? yeah. Happened to me when I was a kid) and the other is “free”.

    Maybe it’s best that I left that out yesterday – it doesn’t seem to fit into your chart ;)

    Either your glasses are adorably large or your face is adorably tiny.

    Which is it?

    Both! I like BOLD frames.
