This article contains a startling feature of all the watchers of mine who replied in time

(If you didn't, go to the poll, and leave me a thumb. Maaaaaaybe, if I get sufficient worship, I'll put you in the next one )

Why startling?
Well, both I and my computer were reduced to terrified jelly at the thought of trawling through everyone's gallery, to pick out 'just the right thumb'. So I asked everyone to donate their own... which means, of course, that I have no idea which picture it is!
About 30 people were both reading their updates AND trusted me with their precious code._Fools And here they are...!

....
Actually, wait.
FIRST, dear readers, may I ask you to exert yourself enough to click on the rather cutesy little heart link up on the left? If you're not in this one, you may be in the next (...well, you will if you leave me a thumb! XP ) and ...well, the more encouragement and reward (ie fame, success, zombie slaves, gold, chocolate, harems....) you give me, the more motivated I am to do the little capering attention dance.
I MEAN... the more point I see in these articles as a way of promoting people

I wonder if they realised my secret plan of stealing people's souls through the thumbs they left? Y'see, the thumb acts as a sign of agreement, and the poll really said "I accept as my Lord and Master, here, please take my soul! PLEASE!" and... uh. I'll stop there, shall I..?

ANYWAY. LOOK AT SHINY DISTRACTING PICTURE
