Yay!

Like always, I'm doing "the post of each month with the most comments", not the first or last or some such.

January:
The Winner: Fox News: "We don't know about the moon."
The reason it got so many comments: Bill O'Reilly claims that God is why tides work, and that no other explanation is possible, let alone plausible.

Honorable Mention from Jan 2010 because it still got comments in 2011: "The Book Of Eli: A review in five words."
The reason it got so many comments: To this day I maintain it is the worst movie of 201X. This *may* change next year, but I doubt it. I also doubt it for all the other years of 201X.

February:
The Winner: "I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence" - God
The reason it got so many comments: Yet another thing "God" is wrong about. NEXT?

Honorable Mention: "On Valve, me, candy coating, and why that doesn't matter:."
The reason it got so many comments: The best video game of all time, available for current platforms.

March:
The Winner: Today's complete touchpad UI failure: Strangely, not Apple!
The reason it got so many comments: It's a UI failure! That isn't Apple's! That's WORSE than Apple's worst! That's INSANE. That NEVER HAPPENS, except HP somehow did it.

April:
The Winner: A question for the barbecue afficionados.
The reason it got so many comments: I asked a question about COOKING MEAT WITH FIRE.

May:
The Winner: "Four deaf people in hospital after being stabbed at a bar by someone who thought ASL meant they were throwing gang signs."
The reason it got so many comments: I used "deaf-mute", an offensive term, taken from the original source, in the original post. When this was pointed out I corrected my post. Other people, when told that something was an offensive slur, felt the need to defend it TO THE DEATH.

June:
The Winner: And people keep telling me that some religion, THEIR religion, is different.
The reason it got so many comments: Your religion is not different. If you think it is, you are wrong, and that is sad.

July:
The Winner: Am commenting on A Dance With Dragons. There are spoilers in the comments. Beware.
The reason it got so many comments: SOME DUDE WROTE A BOOK YO.

Honorable Mention: "Dell is driving me to drink."
The reason it got so many comments: It didn't. It was just the first post of mine with a post number over FOUR MILLION.

August:
The Winner: the combination of Because MATH, that's why.
The reason it got so many comments: Some people are bad at math, some are bad at word problems. Some are bad at both.

September:
The Winner: "An informal poll: Movies where the bad guys win, outright.
The reason it got so many comments: Oh come on, how can that NOT provoke arguments?

October:
The Winner: Nothing. I posted, apparently, NO interesting things in October. The closest I got was "I, Memesheep" and "How about a nice game of chess?"

November:
The Winner: Mormons once again ruin everything for everyone.
The reason it got so many comments: Mormons ruin everything. Which could also be the description of February's entry, really.

December:
The Winner: YOU do not know Ysgramor. But I do.
The reason it got so many comments: I hear Skyrim was popular in December or something.
