I'd drink all the 7up they want me to for $200,000, but no way would I fly into space. Too-frequent experience with earthbound mechanical difficulties to want to go somewhere that air isn't.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can buy a house with that.
See, I can't, but it'd make a good downpayment.
Still ... space!
I'd go to space, but I hate 7UP. They couldn't attach this to Coke?
Cuz 7Up is a sponsor of X Prize Foundation. To the tune of over $1M.
It's not like they'd just give you a lump of $200k, it'd be some sort of annuity.
There is a girl in my office who won about 15 itunes in that Pepsi contest. Unbelievable. Alas, since I'm also not a Pepsi fan, I couldn't get on the itunes gravy train. It seems my taste in carbonated beverages is hindering my ability to get the good free stuff.
Also, I had a conversation with a co-worker from Texas and she swears that you can use Coke to refer to any type of soda. For example, a Texan might offer a soft drink by saying "Want a Coke? I've got Sprite, Pepsi and Orange Crush." Can it be true?
Can it be true?
Yep. Very Southern. I say "coke" for any carbonated soft drink.
Yes. It's true most places in the south.
Yes. That's my usage.
It was not uncommon in Phoenix as well.
What do you ask for down south when you actually want a Coke?
