Does it matter if you haven't read freakonomics?
I actually consider a lot of movies to be life-changing! I take them to my heart and they melt into my personality.

If Zeitun isn't going to get it, should I re-cast my vote for one of the top 2 to break the tie?  and should anyone else who didn't vote for the top 2 but voted for one of the others (who wants to change their vote) go ahead and do so, maybe by Saturday?

maybe I should put up a new poll with just the top two vote getters?

meh - I am not interested in Superfreakanomics - the authors lost me in their previous book with their examination of the use of Realtors. They simply proved they do not understand the market or the reason why most people should use an agent.
Hey, nice marmot!

hehe, my father, who is a realtor, also hated that part. I had so much fun defending it to him and his friends and watching them all go nuts!

I agree some of his ideas are kinda loopy but at least thought provoking.
