Baleful had a link in here a couple of months ago that led to such a list. I'd find it for you but I've got to run to lunch. I'll snag it for you after lunch if you don't already have it.

After an overwhelming response, El Fiendo has agreed to short-change the local prostitute to cover International shipping. Now you EU guys have no excuse not to "bring the pain"

Cause I'm slow and the like, is there anything specific you have to do to enter, or just be Crunching and Folding during that time, and those responsible will sort the winner from active people?
