I posted this Facebook pole (which may or may not have anything to do with my follow-up to Annika Dash and the Unicorn from Space) in a group of old school friends. I asked if they remembered which school House they were in. The choices were: Burghley, Sargent, Newton and Tennyson. Being a little cheeky, I added Gryffindor and Slytherin.
It didn’t surprise me that someone would mess about and choose Gryffindor. What did surprise me was looking up who wanted to swap their Muggle life for a pointy hat and broom and discovering Gryffindor received no votes! Is it spooky or Magic (See what I did there?) that it shows 1%?
My programming background tells me it’s more likely to be a Facebook glitch, bug, or coding anomaly; something to make the percentages add up. Whereas the writer in me wants to believe it is some power-crazed alien AI bent on taking over the world, starting with our old school’s Facebook page.
Which do you want to believe? Coding or Magic?
What do I believe? Well, I retreat to that old maxim at times like this:
“Never let the truth get in the way of a good story“.
Of course, Annika Dash is just a story…. isn’t it?
