The weekly humor contest in the Washington Post this week includes so many Sphericals that I thought an announcement outside of D&A was warranted. At least five or six of us are represented. And the results are paired with a new contest announcement, this one also calling for verse, so I hope others will jump on the bandwagon.

Here is the main link.

And here is a link to the contest's blog, where the results are discussed and some of us are mentioned. I learned a lot there about Mary E. Moore, who was a runner-up in this week's contest.

You'll note from the blog that this new contest was actually inspired by Eratosphere, since I told the WP editor on Facebook about the thread in D&A with limericks that summarize movie plots, and she adopted it as the idea for the new contest.

Good thinking, Roger-Bob, to share this news outside D&A.

You guys are in a class of your own. Multi-talented all.

It will be interesting to see if the mention and link to Eratosphere from the Washington Post (which gets huge traffic) will lure new members.
