What makes a question popular to vote for?

Why do some questions only recieve like maybe 5 - 10 votes tops, but other questions get well over 100 votes?

Like for example why might this question have been so popular?

Update:

cool, thanks if anyone else has other ideas for this phenomenon of rediculous number of voters that would be appreciated.

Anyway, hopefully some of those people give my answer ( my answer is the 1st answer), a thumbs up, that could really help boost my overall points ranking!)
