*Shameless self promotion warning*

Today i ordered some pizza and while i was eating it i got the idea of trying to define normal.
Its now almost 6am in the morning and i have finally written a draft of what normal is. If anyones interested you can read it and vote your option here:

Normal already has a bunch of definitions. Yours doesn't really make sense. Perhaps that is a result of having stayed up all night.

I agree.

A normal is a line the protrudes from a polygonal face at a perpendicular angle for the purpose of giving a computer a coherent way to render a surface.

dun dun dun!

Even in this thread my point has been proven. The only way its possible for someone to agree is to make a personal choice or if a larger percentage of viewers agreed as one.

The only way the results will be fair is if an large number of users participate without reading the current posts so its a 100% personal choice(no one here is a lier or a sheep but its simply how things are).

"Normal" is whatever the society at large says that it is.

If the general consensus in your area is that "all dogs go to heaven when they die." Then someone who comes along and believes otherwise would probably then be considered "abnormal," or even "weird."

It's quite stupid and trite. But that's just how people are. In general, anyway.

Absolutely right, but as the scale increases this is less and less important and the more potential "enemies" or more people to disagree with you the less likely you are to flaunt the option and while the chances of finding someone that agrees on that exact matter is lower the chance of finding someone that is mutual in that option is higher due to randomness.

This sentence also does not make sense. Is English your first language?

Yikes.

I agree, but we don't need to dogpile the guy.
