Title: Caption Contest: CD RW/DVD ROM up for grabs
Post by: Chris on February 09, 2007, 06:01:59 PM
This month we're going to go with a very simple contest - something that everyone can participate in (With the exception of blind people, and people without computers). This month's contest is going to be based on who can come up with the best (and most original) caption for the following image:

(http://www.gotthegeek.com/images/caption_contest_feb07.jpg)

There are some obvious captions for this picture that I am sure we can all come up with on a moment's notice. The key here is to be original, and witty. Contestants may enter as many submissions as they would like - there is no limit. After a period of two weeks the moderators will each nominate one caption that they think is the best, and those selected captions will go on to the final round in which a poll will be created and voting will be open to the rest of the members.

Here is a picture of the item up for grabs:

If anyone has any questions, please contact me via PM this way the thread can be kept free of any clutter, as there is the possibility for numerous legitimate replies.

Secretary Rice approximates the size of a "Small WMD" - should they find any in Iraq.

Substituting in the values in part b), we get

That's it guys. Thanks to all of you that submitted captions.

The moderators and I will review the topic and each select one caption that we thought was the best and then create a poll for you guys to decide who had the best caption.

The winner of the polll gets the booty.
