What about the frekin' numbers SW put up?


Heh - I was just letting it go on for a while just to see what
happened.

So I'll just put up the Honorable Mentions:

THE MOST IMAGINATIVE AND POSSIBLY TRUE RESPONSE:

Chuck Gould with his mathematical interpretation which, I must say as
a mathematician, was brilliant.

Unfortunately, not the answer.

THE MOST MUNDANE OBVIOUS RESPONSE:

Reggie Smithers III. Yes they are all divisible by five.

Come on Reggie - I mean really.

CLOSEST TO THE ANSWER THAT WASN'T CORRECT:

Eisboch's answer came closest while not quite getting there. It does
have something to do with ethanol, but not the price.

WTF AWARD FOR INTELLECTUAL HONESTY:

justwaitafreakinminute for admitting that he couldn't pronounce
unanimity.

WTF AWARD FOR INTELLECTUAL PUZZLEMENT:

Joe Sparebedroom for his brilliant and insightful response of "Hmmm -
That's it - Hmmmm" which basically says that I'm not at all sure of
the answer so I must appear to be intellectually puzzled without
admitting that I'm logically flawed.

NOT EVEN CLOSE BUT RELATED TO BOATING:

Longshot for his answer of price of gas the closer you get to the
marina.

THE SKIPPER/BAYLINER AWARD FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS:

Tim. Yes, they were indeed numbers and had commas and a question
mark.

THE MOST COGENT AND TERSE RESPONSE AWARD:

Jim.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY AWARD:

JimH. Sorry Jim - valiant try, but nobody important died 5/10/30 at
age 35.

MOST HUMOROUS, BUT TRUE, QUESTIONING SANITY AWARD:

Harry Krause. Yes Harry, there is more than on person in this world
who doubts my sanity - starting with Mrs. Wave.

NONSEQUITOR PERSONAL COMMENTARY AWARD:

The usual suspects. Way to go guys.

And the answer to the original question is:

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

The consensus estimate of when Global Warming will devastate the
ecosystem.

Thank you for your participation.

That is all.
