I'm surprised nobody has started this yet. Given Jon's 2nd baby is due May 7th, and expected in less than 12 days (based on the last posts I saw), how about a contest to guess the exact date & time of the big event?
Play:
$10k per guess
Post transfer in this thread and the date & time of choice (funds get sent to Grunt Contests).
I was thinking that the closest gets 50% of the pot, next closest 25%, and Jon gets 25% on his char to play with (unless Jon declines in which case we go 65% to first and 35% to 2nd).
Contest runs until Jon posts that the baby is born (I rely on someone who finds out to post on this thread).
I've started the pot with 50k (I'll manage the game so I won't play).
Any interest?

Seeing as I may have stepped on Jon's toes, I've chatmailed to ask for permission - in the event the contest gets cancelled full refunds will be issued.

Well it looks like we will not be able to tell the winner unless Jon lest us know whether she was born before or after 5:45 Sat night (if it was before I win, if after dudemus wins)

Contest cancelled (lack of interest & potential privacy concerns) - refunds being sent.
