Have you seen this before? It's a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 36355, and it got it right! Pretty neat.

I've managed to save up roughly $64166 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?

In case you are curious, "guy" is coming from inside his paid job at the Tribune (according to his IP address). Despite Sam's post yesterday about the Mobster screw-ups, Chicagoist generally loves our pals at the Tribune (hi Mr. Zorn!). The few of us could never produce an exhaustive Chicago paper, but we can point to interesting and sometimes odd things going on around town, like The Mobtown Moxie Review. P.S. Mr. Smith, look for me on Sunday night. I'll be dressed as a guy dressed as a girl dressed as Frank Calabrese.

The difference being that the Trib gets paid to produce journalism. That being said I think I'll be doing some investigative work at this event this weekend. I'll bring Dave Savini and his blacklight along to check out the used draw's.

you're a riot, aaron. instead of doing any investigative work, you prefer to sit back, copy & paste in your web browser, while at the same time taking pot shots at those that actually do the heavy lifting of journalism...and sure, once in a blue moon make a mistake. ps - i think you can find art and underwear on ebay. granted it may not be of the used variety! ewww
