Since it's already Dec 15 in the GMT zone where the random number of the day has been posted, the drawing can proceed for the winner of the prize for the user who voted on all entries! Given that we are a bit shorthanded and I am sick as a dog, I won't be validating each of the 64 entrants
in this thread, which would take hours, but I will instead validate the actual winner to be sure that s/he is eligible. In the event that person is ineligible, we'll chose again tomorrow and so forth
OK! Now, on with the drawing!
