Battle of the Neils: Diamond Defeats Armstrong

The Parabolic Archers have spoken, and you have chosen Neil Diamond as your favorite Neil. The crooner received 74 votes (55 percent), which was way ahead of the original moon walker, Neil Armstrong, who received only 44 votes (34 percent). Actor Neil Patrick Harris came in third with 14 votes (10 percent) while President George W. Bush’s brother Neil garnered a mere 1 vote (1 percent).

I’m a little surprised by the result; this being primarily a space site, I thought Mr. Armstrong might have done a bit better. But, the people have spoken. Or someone has stuffed the ballot box. I’m not sure which.

Whatever the case, here’s a little “Cherry Cherry” for your entertainment pleasure.

A hearty thanks to everyone who voted. Vote in our new poll on which rocket NASA should use for orbiting humans.
