Emcee:  GROUND ZERO™ Type:  Moderated
We all know we're going to bomb the living crap out of Sadam, but when will that happen? Here's your chance to try your luck at military strategy and tactics... enter your guess... please post your guess right down to the exact minute without going over, and if you do underguess you can simply guess again, it's open season on Sadam Insane, one of you will bag the prize... second, third, and fourth guessing is allowed, just keep guessing and try to nail the exact time, there are no limits... we'll use The Price Is Right rules for guessing the time, all times will be based on Eastern time, all entries will be postmarked by SI time stamp and must be postmarked prior to the first bomb, illegal where prohibited by law, execpt in Nebraska, you'll be billed later, allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery...

The Grand Prize is the noble distinction of being the best guesser on SI, with recognition and honorable mention to the runner ups...

Here are the common definitions of the word bomb...

1. a missile containing explosive or other destructive material...

2. a device that contains explosive material, especially one designed to explode after some time...

3. the atomic bomb considered as the absolute weapon of mass destruction lived in dread of the Bomb during the Cold War...

4. a performance that is a commercial or artistic failure...

5. a long high forward pass, especially one that results in a touchdown...

For the sake of this contest, please exclude 4 and 5...

Good Luck to all, and good luck to Saddam, I say he's toast...
