...ME! I won a contest on Mental_Floss! They've been running these "Ridiculous Board Games" on their office white board (labeled "Board @ Work"). For the first game (which I missed—didn't tune in till it was already over), you had to randomly guess what flag someone had drawn (without seeing it, obviously). It turned out to be Singapore. For the second game, someone else drew an animal. Out of 270 wild guesses, mine (#153) was the right one: It was a meerkat! So now I get to pick a T-shirt! I can't make up my mind. I'm torn between "Simple as 3.141592..." and "Marco Polo" and the regular old "Mental_Floss" one. Andy is pushing heavily for me to choose the "Easter Island" one.
I read Mental_Floss every day (and even subscribe to the magazine), because it's filled with interesting, funny, clever bits and pieces about everything under the sun. And now I get a T-shirt. Go me!
Update: I decided to go with the Mental_Floss logo T-shirt. I'll show it to you when it arrives.
Cool! I guessed 3 times and it was hard to come up with 3 countries that hadn't yet made the guess list. Yahoo!
