Your opinion is important to us. Your demographic info is important to our advertisers. Let’s kill two birds with one survey!
(That doesn’t sound very enticing. Let us sweeten the deal.)
1. Visit mentalfloss.com/webvisitor and take our 10-question survey.
2. Come back here and leave a comment that says something to the effect of “I took the survey!”
3. We will pick 4 winners at random to receive “I took the survey!” prizes. One lucky respondent will win the mental_floss t-shirt of his or her choosing. The second, third and fourth lucky respondents will win a free back issue of mental_floss magazine. And a fifth survey-taker will win Bob Dylan: The Drawn Blank Series, a book of the sketches by the Pulitzer Prize winner. A $60 value! (Or $6 per survey question. Not bad.)
Now, I realize someone could easily scam us by not taking the survey and leaving a fraudulent comment. So I’ll ask that you also tell us your answer to survey question #7.
And if you have feedback not requested by the survey, you can always email me. Thanks!
I TOOK THE SURVEY!
And I found out about mentalfloss.com from a link on Digg.

I have conquered the survey. I first learned on you back in 1872, by telegram. It was sent to me by Missus Cellania of Newport and Boston. She and I would linger over brandy at The Breakers as we discussed the news of the day. Often she would escape into he constant reverie of this wonderous place of cotton fibre floss of the mind. I was enchanted by her tales …
Truth be told, I heard about it on http://www.neatorama.com … but I wanted attention … I’m a bad girl.

Survey Question #7:
A bunch of kids called me from a dorm room at Duke asking to reserve the domain mentalflossmag.com (mentalfloss.com was already taken at the time). They weren’t exactly sure what they were going to do with it at the time, but a year or two later came Vol 1, Issue 1 with good ol’ Al Einstein sticking out his tongue at us, gracing the 1st of one of the best magazine reads anywhere! Knowledge in a nutshell with a twist of genuine geekdom, and the rest is history! Godspeed mental_floss!

I found m_f on a blog somewhere, and I’m pretty sure the first post I read was about the baseball promotions gone bad, which inspired me to go as Disco Demolition Night for Halloween. I haven’t done it yet, but when I do I’ll post pictures.

I took the survey.
“i randomly came across it while looking for a topic for my english presentation in 13th grade (i’m German…)” was my answer for number 7
I did, by the way, end up titeling my presentation “the 15 most awesome things I found on the internet while looking for a topic for this damn presentation”, if I remember right 12 of those I found on mental floss…
I got 15 (of 15 possible) points on it, and my English teacher is for ever convinced that having his students prepare presenations on topics of their own choice is a fantastic idea…
So Thank you, Mental Floss!

I took the survey, and I “discovered” Mentalfloss.com through the magazine, which I found at the home of the family I was babysitting for.
