    Okay, I used to spend a lot of time on Usenet reading the newsgroups before forums like this began to flourish and before the whole thing got flooded by spam and trolls. One of the groups I read a lot was the coin collectors group rec.collecting.coins. ( I am also a member and Secretary/Treasurer of the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Coin Club ) We would take it upon ourselves to hold spur of the moment contests, with little trivia questions or random drawings, giving away whatever came to mind, so I am going to continue that tradition here, unless there is something in the by-laws that says not to?
    The prize: a brand new, only briefly out of the box PC game called "The Witcher", a fantasy game which apparently won a lot of awards, but my computer refuses to run it because of my wimpy graphics card.
    The rule: This is not an official GIRS function, it's just for fun, but if the moderators think it's a bad idea I'll understand. Winner to be determined by me.
    The contest: By midnight Friday, send me a PM with the answer to the following...
    In the movie "It Came From Beneath the Sea", how many legs did the octopus have?
    Have fun,
    Mark

    Oops, I will throw out a second trivia question.

    Here's one for the trekkies, I know you're there.

    What 3 scientists does Data play poker with?

    I will draw a winner from all correct answers.

    Okay, we have a winner! The octopus had 6 legs, and in one episode Data plays poker with Einstein, Newton and Stephen Hawkings. And the winner is Mary!

    Send me you address and I shall send forth your prize.
