Hallo all. 😃  
It’s a weird place for my first post, but I’ve been reading this board for some time now and there’s something I’m dying to know. Manhatten, did he ever pay up?

Yeah Manhattan, spill it! Are you now 10,000 richer or not?

I’m pretty sure that had Manny wanted to reveal this, he would have availed himself of the opportunity several months ago.

And to think I _liked_ you. What are you trying to do, give us all brain attacks by resurrecting this thread? You are just _evil_. (Don’t _even_ try to tell me you didn’t know the answer to the question.)

[hijack but kinda related]  
Thank you for recommending _Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance_. It’s brilliant. I’m about half-way through. It’s hard to see the name Phaedrus without having another brain attack. At NYC IRL you recommended two books, what was the other one?
