Fishing still more popular than the internet

Yes, folks, according to a Harris Poll, fishing is still more popular than the Internet. The poll surveyed adults on their leisure habits, and as usual, the top three were "reading (35%), watching TV (21%) and
spending time with their families and children (20%)". Numbers four, five, and six were "going to the movies (10%), fishing (8%) [and] computer-related activities (7%)", making the oh-so-addictive internet less popular than fishing.

Of course, this is a survey of leisure activities, so it doesn't take into account all of the time spent surfing at work. But then, consider how many adults can just turn on the computer when they get home every night; going fishing is typically a major event.

A little bit of a reality check.
