IMO, anybody who manages to pick "The number 5 will win with Junior driving
relief" (in any context other than the public plan of Rudd replacing Stewart
last year) and be *right* should get a helluva lot more than three points.
Maybe three points, an arm chair on Moral Victory Mountain, and a gift
certificate for a piece of pie at Baker's Square?
LOL

Wonder how slow the laps were at the end when they ran single file sweating empty
gas tanks?
Bob Margolis had this item:
On lap 123, while leading a train of five cars that included himself, Casey
Mears, Jimmie Johnson, Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch, Gordon recorded a lap speed of
199.371 mph!
Immediately afterward, Gordon got on the radio and told crew chief Steve Letarte,
"Man, that was an amazing lap."
That's seriously fast!

OK. That's two votes in favor of either-or picks so far.

Agreed.

12-Q-4 only applies when the moon is in the seventh house
and Jupiter aligns with Mars.

I beleive we'd be happier if they were not picked to show, however.
And I beleive the modbot would probably be happier if we gave over
with double entendres. :-)

I don't see this as any different than "2 Fords in the T10",
which we've accepted as a valid single pick as long as RPG has
been around. Indeed, with 10 Fords in the field it's a lot
more likely to happen.
