Wow! Wih capitalism like that, who even needs social programs?

[c9.livejournal.com]

Sounds fine to me!

[c9.livejournal.com]

It's true. When has any form of social program given me a widescreen TV?

I was checking the rules to make sure jdhorner and I were eligible (we are...so, no need for anyone else to enter), and I found this: in order to win, the selected entrant must correctly answer, unaided, a time-limited, mathematical skill-testing question.

That still cracks me up. :)

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

I thought we gave all homeless people widescreen tv's now. Or was that under Chretien?

[nihilicious.livejournal.com]

That makes is about skill, and not a matter of gambling.

I entered but doubt that I would win. If I do, I'll make sure to give you a portion of the prize. :)

Damn you Canada and your decent prize packages!

On a side-note, we entered a contest at the grocery store for some free ham last week. We lost.

[joecdn.livejournal.com]

It's always something like

(14+9-6)x2+8/5(6-1+18)=

Not very skill testing by any stretch of the imagination...but I guess it *looks* difficult LOL

[c9.livejournal.com]

That is like four times more complicated than almost every skill-testing question I've ever seen. :)

[primary-suspect.livejournal.com]

Entered. Now you will have to sign up at a university in case you win to maximize your profit. ;-)

If they tell me I've won, I think I would quite quickly look at what I spend each day doing, and whether I want to continue doing it for the year. At the very least I'd sign up for something somewhere... I should probably investigate so that I can do it quickly. :)
