The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:
Which is worse? X or Y?And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
Y, by a mile. Let's face it:
- You won't find any buried treasure at the spot marked Y.
- Brand X may be second best, but Brand Y doesn't even rate a mention.
- Nobody now remembers Malcolm Y.
- Y-rays don't even penetrate glass.
- Agents Mulder and Scully never bothered looking into the Y-Files.
- Y Windows and Java Y are platform-independent in the sense that they don't run on any platform.
- Mutant Alien Body Snatchers from Planet Y would have been met with derision in the fifties.
- No books have been written about disaffected Generation Y youngsters.
- Y500 directories, which list only first names and inside leg measurements, are generally not considered to be very useful.
- Nobody is going to visit your Website to view your YYY-rated JPEGs.
- Along with the Fantastic Fourteen, the Incredible Bulk and the Mighty Sore, the Y-Men were one of Marvel's less successful creations.
You owe the Oracle a Z chromosome.
