    The facts say Beth:
    - more in the weekly
    - more in the daily
    - more in the last update
    - roadkilled FoBoT

    But it's great that two of our team will hit the 1 billion soon

    Bring it on!

    Either way, it's incredible, staggering output. Just to add a bit of perspective (but not to give them any ideas):

    If PCZ, FoBoT, Beth, and Condor formed a team, they would be 4th, with a commanding 950 million point lead over OCworkbench.

    :shocked:

    But (and there's always a but) together, we're #1. Go Free-DC!

    </me brings popcorn for everyone>

    P.S. While I agree that all the numbers point to Beth, I'm going out on a limb and picking FoBoT for "the sneaky factor" alone. It's almost NCAA tournament time, so I'm picking the upset based on "intangibles".

    /me quietly creeps behind Anteraan and make a grab of that popcorn.

    This is going to be another battle worthy of a good commentary.

    Round 2 of the epic struggle and FoBoT

    deals out a body blow of epic proportions and RK's Beth back.

    Can the Monster from Montreal come back from such a blow.

    \grabs a handfull of popcorn.

    Thumbs up And...down the stretch they come!

    Not only can the Monster respond, the response is quick and sure -- FoBoT gets a nasty shove off the podium. This is so like playing "King of the Mountain" in the snow when I was a kid.

    Less than 19 mil. to go for Beth, with FoBoT just over 2.5 million back.... This is great stuff.

    Bravo! Bravo! As I, Nostranteraan, foresaw FoBoT had the intangibles (in this case, a most timely borg), and pulled it off by a nose. Wonderful entertainment, and congrats to both of our worthy billionaires -- absolutely staggering efforts over the long haul.
