i am going into 2007 with prediction... march 20th 2007,Giving a specific date ...is equal to the odds of me picking the winning lottery numbers-lol.

 

[ekal]

Please give a date - no need to get it exactly right. Closest wins

 

[VisualArtistFrankBonilla]

No need to get the exact date. Closest wins

What if the next guy says March 15, 1997? I think you should have to give a day. He would win, if in March?
