Quiz #2 results:

Well, Bard who was born in Oklahoma and lived most of his life in Kansas, nearly got bumped out of 1st place. He's been doing 'the dance' everyday in hopes no one would! A fellow Kansan almost did! Actually, I was surprized by the results ...

2. 61 ♥Flower♥ 800 gps
3. 55 partyof5dj 600 gps
4. 55 jspinelli 400 gps
5. 54 Nada 200 gps

The mean was 28/100.

I decided to give out a few more gps (probably tomorrow). Due to another generous gift from a WDC friend, I need to get rid of these gps. Never had so many and they are burning a hole in my pocketses. And growing hair on the bottom of my feetses.
