    August,

    I came up with an online quiz in April this year. Officially,
    nobody got it right, but one person *did* succeed following an
    additional clue to one of the Eggs:

    An Easter Egg Challenge.

    You're trying to egg me on...but the yolk is on you. <G>

    I think of the Looney Tunes Cartoon, where Bugs Bunny has to
    be "The Easter Rabbit". He tells the original one that "I'll
    deliver the technicolor hen fruit for you"...but then as he's
    singing the song, he growls "Phooey!! I'm glad I don't have to
    do this for a living". <G>

    Whoa. I missed your joke the first time. I'm obviously not
    paying attention to the printed word as much as I used to.
