Better Wizard Match-Up; The Results Show

As I typed the phrase "The Results Show" in the title, it kind of made me think of this post as an American Idol results show, which is totally appropriate, because this post will have about 58 minutes of time-wasting material followed by 2 minutes of actual results.

This was one of the best-received random match-ups we've had at the Worst Blog Ever, and I'm really pleased to have been the source of the healthy debate. In fact, we had more comments on this post than we did on the one detailing the birth of our boy. But don't worry, readers: I'm not judging you.

My vote on these random match-ups doesn't usually matter unless there is a tie. It doesn't carry any extra weight and I'm a believer in letting the majority rule these votes, even when the majority is wrong. This is one of those instances.

I vote for Gandolf for the simple reason that if Dumbledore is such a great wizard...why is he dead? Gandalf wins by default if for no other reason.

However, the official results came back thus: 6 votes for Dumbledore, 5 votes for Gandalf, 2 people who made a few comments but didn't actually pick either of them. And therefore, by the slimmest of margins, Dumbledore wins the title.

One final note: the voting for these wizards was split almost exactly down one particular demographic: college graduates almost always chose Gandalf. 100% of voters with advanced degrees voted for Gandalf. I'm not sayin....I'm just sayin.
