Anyone ever thought of going after one? A friend of mine, who's from my hometown and goes to the same college that I do, is taking a shot at building the longest paperclip chain in a 24 hour time period.

"In an effort to justify the large number of hours involved (which aren't limited to the game-day 24), Dan has established a pledge drive to benefit the National Mental Health Association."

Appropriate choice of beneficiary, doncha think? :)

I'm not sure how you understood it... I meant it as a good-natured jibe at Dan's mental health for attempting such a random feat. As for answering machine messages - well, yeah, I am mean. But ZV will have to explain that. :)

I'm living in the dorms. She called my parents and left this on the machine:

"Hi, Aaron. This is your girlfriend. We *really* need to talk about birth control, as soon as possible. Something unexpected has come up. Thanks"

Thankfully my parents know me better than that. :) It was a good joke though.

And yes, Paige was dared to do it, but I didn't think that she could make it through leaving the message without laughing.
