Contest Correction

Bob Dancer is not eligible for this contest. This is to avoid having to invoke rule 6.

Bob did offer an example, and I like it better than my own example offering of "People That Live in Brick Houses Can Through Stones".

It's exactly what I was hoping for, but don't worry, Bob's out of the contest.

Any last minute entires or do I award Bob the prize?

The contest is closed and I guess Bob will win by default. Oh..I'll never hear the end of it.

Not sure why no one chimed in on this one.

Next months contest will be awarded for the best idea for next months contest.

I'll post on Mar 1st.
