Since there is no stage, this rule does not apply (note: further discussion on this subject will be moved to the YMTC thread "can a virtual contest have virtual rules?"). Also, I would point out that the appeal was filed in less time than it took to make the ruling. Under the Billfred I-Never-Signed-Up-For-This Fairness Doctrine, special dispensation may be issued for delays in appeals that were caused by slow response times of the judges.

Besides, for those of us working on the MESSENGER mission to Mercury, the day is 4221 hours long. So it is still last Wednesday. Plenty of time for me to make another entry, have a bad ruling posted, appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court of Time Wasting Endeavors, and still make it to breakfast.

Dave, there is no Billfred I-Never-Signed-Up-For-This Fairness Doctrine. Perhaps you're thinking of the Billfred Is Working Way Too Much Rule?

In any regard, it still doesn't count. The post says 12:35 AM, which is the time I go by. (And Dave, although I know you have connections, please don't slow the earth's rotation to get more time on the caption contest. )

OK, I gotta take Dave's side now. Just because you have never heard of the
"Billfred I-Never-Signed-Up-For-This Fairness Doctrine" doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Based on some the rulings I've seen come out of the court system, the fact that you created the contest, the rules, the rulings, and serve as the benevolent dictator of the contest has no bearing on whether some other entity can claim jurisdiction and decide what you really meant.

As you may recall in "Morrison vs Martus", the court ruled that "an engineer with a hawaiian shirt can claim habeus corpus ludicrus and award himself points provided his vehicle is still operational on another planet and the vehicle is legally registered with the DMV in his home state, unless that state is Indiana whereby the vehicle must be weigh at least 120 pounds without the battery."

If it doesn't fit, you must acquit. So Dave should be awarded 1.8 points based on the gear ratio of his team's lowest speed in the 2003 competition.

To my client's (Mr Lavery) defense, if the clock doesn't fit... you must aquit...





(and to my own defense this does make sense, cause the clock thingy on CD doesn't give an option for Mars Time )
