I am aware of these. If you search at dictionary.com you can find a lot of other meanings, too. I thought Bob is an abbreviaton, some sort of Apolyton wordplay. Why would anyone call the Planet "Bob" is beyond me.

I've just realized that I like Apolyton more, even if Bob means something more than just "Robert". So I voted "Apolyton".

I agree with you, but I voted Bob. Apolyton is the most unoriginal of the two, and one has to be chosen eventually, so Bob it is.

Will we ever have a winner on this one? A race between two not so interesting candidates. This reminds me of the Bush/Gore race for presidency.

If "Abstain" wins then yes, I would support the planet being called "Abstain".

"Bob"? Yeuch. Whatever bloody happened to calling that continent "Graceland", since it was surmised it must look like Elvis' head?

For this poll I have to vote abstain. Apolyton is boring as a planet name, anything beats Bob, and I prefer Abstain as a name.

Shame we couldn't write in our votes.

ABSOLUTELY NOT BOB. Technically not all contenents have the same start-end letters since Europe and Asia arn't truely contenents, they are parts of the contenent of Eurasia. Europe is, geologicaly, simplely one of the 4 cratons (continental "cores") of Eurasia, the others being Siberia, China, and India. The borders of the cratons are the Ural and Himalayan Mts. Geology lesson over.

I have no intention of having to leave this game completely because a court can't come to a decision.

I was the one who posted the last two polls and I thought ahead long enough to consider that I should state (for you smart-alecs out there) that a vote "abstain" was an abstention from voting, not a vote for "abstain" as the planet name... Apparently, some of you took GF's lack of such a statement in the poll as license to consider an abstention a vote for "abstain" as the name
