So. Is it a Yes? Tongue
Yes
My other avatar is a Porsche

Most definitely.

And it particularly throws me off when people change their avatars, because I sometimes don't know their names. Shocked

I gotta say, I had to do a double take when I read the poll! I thought you were on mushrooms or something to ask such a thing. XD

I answered no. I just read the text in a tone appropriate for its context.
A negative number was raised to a power that is not an integer.

Hard to say, as I don't really talk to anyone on here.  I just post something occasionally that usually gets ignored.

Yes. 

And yes, I'm a dog, a Japanese dog. Japan is so advanced that even dogs can browse the web.

I get confused with Paul McGann all the time. Well, an older, fatter, uglier version of Paul McGann anyway.   

And to answer the question, if the avatar is a picture of a person, then yes. If it's a picture of a rock, a horse, a cow, a dog, a cat, etc., then no.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

All of us are dogs, except for some of us who are not, and others who aren't either one.
