The thrilling days of Caption Contest is now over. Each entry was counted (all eight of you) and the winner was chosen by our sophisticated computer algorithm which weighed all of the available factors, including humor, number of words, IP address, and the Mayan Calendar. Of the eight entries, a clear winner emerged:
craig@lister:~$ python Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35) [GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import random >>> random.randint(1,8) 3
The clear winner was M, with her entry: “Starbucks the crack of the new generation.”
So, congratulations, M, your book is on the way!
WE ARE BORG! WE WILL ADD YOUR TECHNOLOGICAL DISTINCTIVENESS TO OURSELVES. YOUR PYTHON SNIPPET WILL SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
M was the only one who did not enter more than once. How improbable was that? (yeah, yeah, i know, 12.5%. But in 7 of 8 other quantum parallel universes, that’s not how it happened. We’re privileged to live in this one.)
Clearly, that python snippet lies. I ran it eight times and got six different answers!
