Paying people to compliment me.

I paid people $.05 to compliment me.  Here are the results.

For those of you who don't know what the mechanical turk is go to mturk.com excerpt from wikipedia.

"The Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is one of the suite of Amazon Web Services, a crowdsourcing marketplace that enables computer programs to co-ordinate the use of human intelligence to perform tasks which computers are unable to do. Requesters, the human beings that write these programs, are able to pose tasks known as HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks), such as choosing the best among several photographs of a storefront, writing product descriptions, or identifying performers on music CDs."

The HIT's title was "complement me".  Yea, I know it's misspelled.

It made me kinda happy actually.

Here are the results:

"You are the man"

Wow!!! You look great!
Do you have some kind of sickness? I'm sure you're a great guy - NOT!!
