2000
Well, this is it.
#2000
I was thinking I would do something grand, something odd, something. Maybe a contest of some sort. Yeah, a contest. What kind of wonderful prize could I hand out?
| A water clock? | A GoBot? | A bag of Candy? | A catapult watch? |

nah…that doesn’t make sense, oh, and I am poor….
I know, something everyone would want! An autographed picture of the Militantplatypus!!! Official, signed and numbered!!

Okay, so now I need a contest.
Poetry?
Quiz?
Short Story?
Dare?
Something totally random?
Yeah…totally random!
Okay, most of you know that I am based in Seattle. And if you have heard of Seattle, you have most likely heard of the Space Needle, so here is the random question for the prize
drum roll…..

I will give you two clues.
Clue #1 – The number is less than 100 blocks
Clue #2 – I am calculating 12 city blocks per mile
So, that is it. The person who posts a comment with the closest number by midnight tonight (PST) will get an autographed photo of the Militantplatypus mailed to them. Good Luck!
Co-workers, irl friends, and relatives of the Militantplatypus are excluded from this contest, and will be summarily shot, beaten, horse whipped, purple nurpled, shot again, and flogged for posting a guess.

Seattle! That is so COOL! I want to get stationed in McChord so desperately, just so I can be near there. Anyway, I’m to lazy to look it up Google World-style, so I’ll just guess: 25.

Dear Mr. Platypus, I am going to guess that you work about 47 blocks from the Space Needle, wich according to your caluclations would make it about 4 miles away, and I bet you could even get there in about 8 minutes.
