Robot exterminator

[NPOE]I recently moved down south (unlike Billfred who moved up north) and I find that the bugs down here are, well, pervasive. They don't die off in the winter, so you get these HUGE bugs all year round. And if you don't have termite traps all over the place you WILL have termites. Just one more thing to 'get used to'. So, we see exterminators a lot, with backpack sprayers... thus my input this week.[/NPOE]

In the Miss America pageant, there is a swim suit competition. For chiefdelphi users, it's a flame suit competition.

[Not an entry]OMG is this the penultimate contest of year 12 :ahh: of the competition? Ho-lee cow, that's a long time, even in Billfred years*. I am sure nobody ever thought it would go this far.

*From what I hear, a Billfred minute is about 10 minutes to the rest of us, as in when he tells a student "you should be able to get that done in maybe 5 minutes" and it takes almost an hour. I don't have enough data to get the value to more than 1 significant digit. So that means the contest is about 120 years old, give or take.

[also-non-entry]Unless those Billfred years work the other way. Perhaps Billfred thinks it should only have taken CD a year and a few months to get this far. By a curious coincidence, my first caption contest entry was last February. :p [/also-non-entry]

Um, yeah, I got the numerator and denominator mixed up. That explains the real reason judging is Saturday night and the results are posted on a Tuesday. That much time has passed (in Billfred seconds) just for him to type in the new scores and make a post. That also helps explain his driving almost 60,000 miles in about a week and a half. I think.[/a-a-n-e]
