It appears to be locked. I'm not sure why. Let me chat with the Powers That Be.

That was a GREAT little read! I have some things to think about...and some things to do. Thanks for the recommendation!

Okay, I have one more recommendation under H: The Hundred Greatest Stars by James. B. Kaler. I had an Astronomy course as an undergraduate, years ago. I learned more from this book than I did from that class.

Wow, we're already seeing some great debates in the Regional semifinals. Should be a fun couple of days!

My 3.5-year-old discovered a pair of my d6 yesterday. After a little time with me, now he can count the pips. I've just taken the first step toward turning my son into a gamer.

The matchups in the next round will be: Firestorm (4) vs. Aquaman (8) Scarlet Witch (2) vs. Invisible Woman (3) These matches will be posted on Tuesday morning. Thank you all for your votes this week. We'll see you all back here on Monday!

Stay tuned for the results of the Blue Regional later today!

One and a half grams of caffeine is rather a lot, isn't it?

Cubes

What is LD50 for caffeine, anyway?

Results are now in for the White Regional! There were actually a couple of close matches in this one. Imagine my surprise. Anyhow, here are the matchups for the Round of 16: Power Girl (1) vs. Zatanna (5) Human Torch (3) vs. Big Barda (2) These matches will also be posted next Monday.
