So here's the contest idea: guess which top ten countries generate the most Sheldon readers, and win a free, personalized sketch of your choosing!

As you know, it's possible to tell where in the world Sheldon readers come from, by country, just by looking at the server logs. 60% from the US, 10% from Canada...etc., etc.

So, in this contest, your job is to guess the top ten countries in that list. Is Bulgaria in there? You'll have to play to find out!

Just head to the Sheldon forum to play, and enter your list of countries.

And if you've never posted on the Sheldon forums -- make this your first time, and win yourself that sketch!

New Jersey, Montana, Mississippi...it's like geography class all over again 'round these parts!

Having driven through 49 of these 50 u-nited states, I can tell you that I harbor no ill will for Montana. I like Montana. It's a great state.

And, if I may share a biographical moment with you, Montana is the coolest place in the world to get hit in the square of your back by a dried buffalo patty thrown by your brother, while your attention is focused on the elk you're trying to photograph.
