SRSLY?
Yes, SRSLY!
Okay this is the deal, the kind people of Good Year are giving me four tickets for a Zeppelin flight on the 3rd of July. Which happens to be the day of the Tour De France prologue, and that’s exactly where we’ll be flying, above Rotterdam.
This should give you a feel of what it should be like: http://www.goodyearzeppelin.com/
In my infinite goodness I’m giving away two of those tickets. (okay, this was imposed upon me)
To be eligible to win a ticket you have to do the following things:
1. In the future, and for the remainder of your lifetime, say nice things about me to other people.
2. Click this button:
and pay with a tweet. (A: there’s no money involved B: ignore the download part, there’s nothing to download, as soon as your tweet appears you’re good)
3. In the comments here, post a link to your favorite Wikipedia entry.
About #3: This is what the judging will be based on.
Tip: It’s a wonderfully strange and exciting world out there. And Wikipedia documents even the tiniest, obscurest, arcanest, weirdest fleckle of it. Pick one that will learn me something I didn’t know or make me gasp in awe at what a weird/wonderful/strange world we live in.
Sort of like these, but not these:

That’s it!
The flight is on the third, so the contest is closing, say, next Tuesday (29th).
Have fun!
