Tormod Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 For my birthday yesterday I posed a challenge: Make us reach 70,000 posts by the end of November 22 (midnight) EST and I will donate $100 to the Chrysalid: Katrina Relief CD project. Due to the really hard work some of the folks put into this, Ihave extended the deadline to 3pm EST today (Wednesday)! So there is still a fair chance to make it! In addition, all money made from people who sign up for Science Forum Sponsorships today will also go straight to the project. What is the Katrina Relief CD project?It is a project where 40 musicians from all over the world have teamed up to create a unique double CD. All the proceeds will be shared between the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity. So far we have raised $4,000 - even before the CD is finished! When the master was delivered for manufacturing last week, we had taken 171 paid preorders!

Tormod Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Posted November 22, 2005 And to those who received the newsletter about this...I wrote that we're at 63,300 posts - but we are at 69,300. So it shouldn't be hard to reach 70K, eh? :shrug:
IrishEyes Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 Great idea, oh FL... And just when can we expect our CDs? And don't worry, I'm sure nobody on THIS forum would stoop to POST PADDING. Aren't you? :shrug:
Tormod Posted November 22, 2005 Author Report Posted November 22, 2005 And just when can we expect our CDs? If all things go well, I'd say in two weeks from now.

Hey does anyone remember the game "Mario Brothers", the one that came out before "Super Mario Brothers", it was between that and donkey kong, it was just Mario and Luigi on a single screen like in donkey kong, but I can't remember what they were doing.
