This one was from 2009 so doesn't qualify sadly. I hope it made Bob Silverman smile too.
http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpos...8&postcount=21 I'll have a think about my suggestion for 2011. This is a great idea for a competition, Xyzzy.

Non-physicists may not have appreciated my classic question, Paul's "QED. QED." or Fusionpower's appreciation thereof.
Sorry to hear about CMD, but I guess there was an inevitability about it. Some of his musical posts were enjoyable and relevant. Talking of which, if any of you haven't heard the William Tell overture in its entirety, you must. Ditto Antoine "Fats" Domino's Swanee River Hop I defy any of you not to weep for joy or pathos at either of these items. David |

apologies if necessary
It was "Only Human", not "Fusion Power".
One of these days xilman will explain his UN to me. Richard (cheesehead) has done so already, but I'll be buggered if I can remember what the explanation was. David |

It's tricky to find a posting which really stands out from so many entertaining and insightful ones through the year.
Still, I'll nominate this one. It actually has some relevance to this competition even though I hardly think anyone will have tried to cheat in anticipation of winning it. http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpos...8&postcount=10 |
