3	FerretAfros Mon 3/10/2008 6:05p	LOL! I feel like some of the honorable mentions are better than the ones nominated. I am kind of curious what the problems were with cheese before they were solved so graciously...

5	MissCandice Tue 3/18/2008 3:30p	Squid Recruitment Dynamics? I know it's hard to find good help but sheesh!
6	Kar2oonMan Tue 3/18/2008 3:40p	LOL!

8	threeundertwo Thu 3/20/2008 8:16p	I voted for "Cheese Problems Solved" but the relationship book is currently in the lead.
