And then some guy in the crowd yelled - "Broken by 696!"

Wow--our team is so full of interesting ppl that there are great quotes every day.
One I really remember is from our programmer, who is a high school junior...he had been working on the program hardcore for Cleveland, I think, and had had very little sleep. He was pretty much passed out in the front of the bus and he said something that no one could understand, and someone asked "Catlain, have you been drinking?"

And his response was "Only in moderation."

So you might not find this amusing, but if you knew, if you even SAW this kid, you would understand the hilarity of the moment.
