Boohoo. Looks like I missed the deadline, but I'll cast my votes
anyway. #9, because it just sounds impossible and #14 because it
doesn't.

As lunch approaches, I'll go for comestibles - the delicious sounding and
the unappetizing:

6 and 7 please.

The discreet ads that gmail places along the side in webview are
amusing... apparently it decided there are more defs with a culinary
flavor than other topics so it gives me a bunch of sites with recipes
and cookbooks.

Talking about gmail... i now also have 50 invites to give away so if
anybody comes across a busload full of people looking for gmail
accounts send 'em to me :)
