Also, wildnsquirrelly proposes that points be accumulated and redeemable for something. I'm generally in support of that idea, but I'm not sure what they should be redeemable for. Suggestions?

Again, remember, this is the part of the round in which you Make Shit Up. Answers will be screened, and all answers will be posted for votes tomorrow.

And one more thing: Sociology Experiment

When triadruid, kittenpants and I were out having dinner last night, we noticed a thing. It seems like when we all go out together, we are almost always asked if we want to split the check. When triadruid and I go out together, we are almost never asked if we want to split the check. When kittenpants and I go out together, we are sometimes asked if we want to split the check, and sometimes not. kittenpants and triadruid did not provide an impression about what happens when they go out together.

We're going to collect some data and see if this is indeed true. It is our hypothesis that the three of us together generally read as "friends hanging out" or "couple taking out a friend or relative", which would perhaps involve check-splitting. If either kittenpants or I are out with triadruid only, we probably read as hetero couples, so less likely to want to split the bill. If kittenpants and I are out together, we figure that in some establishments, they read us as a homosexual couple, and in others, as friends hanging out, so the split or not-split will vary by location.

So tell me, Vast Unpaid Research Department, particularly you other poly folks or others who regularly dine out with more than one other person, are you asked if you want to split the check? What other check behaviours have you noticed as you go out?
