Survey says!
Hey all, here are the results of the Very American Poll for my sister's 4th of July Patriot Crawl, which was held on the wrong continent entirely. Original questions and answers from the internet were here on lj and here on dw. If you squint (or don't), you can guess which answers came from fandom. :P
1. After area 51, which US city or landmark is most likely to be a top secret military repository of alien artifacts?
2nd with 9% of responses: Mount Rushmore, SD
And the number one answer was: Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Colorado Springs, CO
[aka, 'that place in Stargate' and 'NORAD']
[Note: this answer was eventually guessed after my sister looked at me through a ring made with her two hands and said, "Bacon! The food that makes other foods worth eating!" This did not help the Australians feel any less confused about the whole thing. :D]
