And the winner is....

(are) Alli and Emma!!!

Congrats to the two research-driven wonders! I didn't think we'd need a tie-breaker, so that was dumb. Next time around we'll make it the medal count or scandal count or something. Oh well. You guys will split the first and second place winnings.

42 Quebec St. seems to be getting rich on this particular pool. That should work out to about $0.50/hour or so...not bad given this poor economy.

The Lytles almost made it out of the basement...losing to hockey star Craig by just a point. Losing by 22 to "Random Pete" is tough.

Alex and Sue took the battle of the Carters handly, and maybe passed off dog poop duty for a year with their effort. We'll need to see how the hockey pool standings fair.

Overall, a warm and wonderful Olympics...one to remember. Congrats to the US for their staggering victory in the medal count (though all of us really know that its the GOLD MEDAL COUNT that really matters).

Thanks everyone for taking the time to get your entries and for making all the posts online. Tons of fun.
