Hell, yes!  What constitutes a point?  

As far as predicting numbers go, all points will be accidental.  
You know that, but I thought it might be worth mentioning 
anyway. You'll have to give points for timeliness, cosmetics, 
creative excuses, etc. if you want any design points.

I want this to be perfectly fair, though.  Whatever a point is, 
the aforementioned airhead should get a handicap to be 
determined later.

I'm ready to post my predictions.  Are you?  Since I won't be 
wasting time looking at the unrelated stuff (past draws) or 
worrying about totally meaningless things like odd/even, sums, 
"hot/cold," etc., I bet I can be first to post my predictions 
for the entire duration.
