Post by: froid on October 30, 2010, 11:56:24 am How the heck did you know that? :o Daphne, how did you all come up with that for your story? ??? I first learned about it here. http://xkcd.com/593/ I was intrigued, so I did a little more reading. When the comic came out, I didn't make the connection at first. It wasn't until I read this contest that I thought of it again. Title: Re: October 20 Contest!
