Guess This Spiral Galaxy's Age!
at Owner's request! See accompanying statement under photo for cancellation reason.
Want to make big bucks in foundation grants by making "educated guesses"?
Want to talk in big numbers and impress friends?
Then here's your chance to prove you can guess just as good as any other cosmologist (or just look like one).
Send your guess of how old this spiral galaxy is to agnusdeipresents@msn.com
The first 50 responses will receive an e-mail back thanking them for their participation! (What, you wanted more?)
The winner* will be determined by how outlandish their guess really is!
Guesses over the 1 zillion mark will be disqualified!
First-prize will be an all-expense paid trip to your local cosmetologist to discuss the importance of whether the Universe is expanding or contracting. (The steady-state theory is no longer up for discussion.)
Second-prize runner-ups will receive another e-mail thanking them for their participation and explaining why their guess was wrong (we have a low budget for this).
All entries become property of Agnus Dei Presents!
Contest rules will be made up as we go along.
Everything is void where prohibited by law.
Residents of California add $3,000.00 in a participation sales tax.
Entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges consisting of one cosmetologist from each beauty salon that is availabe at that time.
The decision of our judges is final.
Contest ends at midnight, January 1, 788,992,484 trillion A.D.
All entries must be postmarked by then. No exceptions!
* Odds of winning are 1 in 8.8 billion, give or take a million, based on amount of entries received and how many are handwritten on cereal box tops. Entries will be verified for validity and safeguarded to ensure that none have been tampered with by the Anderson Accounting firm, with assistance from Enron and MCI executives, as well as other corporate bigwhigs who have not been exposed in any scandalous wrongdoing outside of private videotaping, which is currently in progress. Voided entries may not be returned for any reason except in cases where tampering might be involved. Sealed entries will not be opened and kept in a pickle jar until January 2, 788,992,484 trillion A.D. or Common Era if that is how years are known by then. We will not accept entries stamped "made in China."
This is even smaller type which has no meaning at all, but is sure hard to read so just in case we've missed anything we can say you didn't read the fine print good enough.
Consolation prize for all those who have gotten this far in this silliness:
hopefully, a good smile at the absurdity of it all and a chance for some more in our article:
