    well since a lot of the videos were inappropriate (they were extremely funny though, the winner WOULD'VE been spradhan01 youtube video of the guy waking up jittering like he's being shot by a machine gun :(), i guess it'll be much more simple this time around.

    Just think of a number in between 1-100, it'll be randomized from random.org at 11:00pm tomorrow, whoever is the closest gets it.

    sorry for the trouble i caused from the other thread, just trying to get something that can make not only me but other people laugh if they view the thread :eek:

    This would be my Jewish Christmas present if I won.

    Also if your smart you could add up all the current numbers together and find the number that maximizes your chances of being closest on both sides of the graph from any two other numbers. Limits are your friend.

    I think a bad decision to nix the first contest just because it got shut down. A fair amount of videos had been posted and could of easily chosen one from that. My vote was for the dog or the dude that ran into the glass.

    But what's the fun in that?

    My guess... 3

    so i'll use random.org's integer grid generator, RANDOM.ORG - Integer Generator and use the number that's in the 9th column, 9th row (since the date is 9-9 :)).

    i'll post the winner in a couple of minutes.

    well it's also not fair to close off the submissions like 2 days earlier and announce a winner without even letting other people enter. how do you know that someone was still searching around (and could've had an even funnier video..) and then suddenly he/she is about to post and the thread got closed? if i said the date to end was tuesday night (since the thread got closed at 5:33am of 9-8-10), then i would've definitely chosen a winner from the videos. sorry but just trying to be fair :\

    and i already sent the copy to insanechinaman so you can close this thread if you wish, mods.
