Ahh, goo Ranking, how I love your off-the-wall surveys and the even more off-the-wall answers. This time it was asking people where they would like to stand just once.

Demographics

Between the 24th and 26th of September 2008 1,044 members of the goo Research online monitor panel completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 50.8% of the sample were female, 5.8% in their teens, 12.7% in their twenties, 32.3% in their thirties, 27.6% in their forties, 12.3% in their fifties, and 9.3% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

Being serious, I’d probably choose Everest, if silly it would have to be on Totoro’s stomach too! I’m surprised the grand staircase at Takarazuka Theatre doesn’t feature on the list, however.

I borrowed the photos from various web sites, but I got the rather nice Elvis from iconka.com. Hold the mouse over the pictures to see the description.
