I should also note that I can only ship the book within the continental US. Gold membership will be given if that is not the case.

On Sunday, you don't need to be gold to enter chat, so no, you don't need to be gold for this event.

Oooh and a quiz by Greg! Quizes are great fun, even if you do not plan to answer, they are great fun to watch, and you'll be surprised that you'll find yourself answering and maybe even winning!

Perhaps, I should have asked a less loopty-loo question.

Reboot; "Why did Wisconsin forget to move their clocks ahead last week on March 8th?"

Actually, minimario posted the correct answer at 12:19, gracy repeated his answer at 12:22. Due to the error, both will get a point.
