Wow - what?

You might need to fill us in on some back story here...

While we're all waiting - Look two posts up and vote for HVC on Facebook *shameless promotion* #BoneCancer!

* shakes fist @ cayars *


Ok - thanks once again for everyone who guessed - for those wondering, the correct answer was The Church of St. George in Lalibela: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_Saint_George,_Lalibela

And now for the winners:

A big congrats and a round of applause goes to gstarcev you are the winner!

And for the other prize positions:
2nd place: wrok
3rd place: combo
4th place: CoinExchange
5th place: devvienuis
6th place: crovasco
7th place: incin

I have a special mention also for NeuroticFish, who answered correctly, but unfortunately in a subsequent guess. This was a pretty harsh decision on my part - but at the end of the day I think I need to stick with the rules as I wrote them. In any event, NeuroticFish will also receive 500HVC



So gstarcev, well done man, feel free to let us all know how you figured it out so quickly!

Thanks for playing everyone - winners - I'll start sending out your prizes now, if you didn't send your address with your entry PM it to me.

Cheers,
M

Hey guys,

Mumbly here - For those asking, Bumbly is doing fine.

I pulled all of the plugs in his room, but he's not on life support, and *apparently* it doesn't work that way.

Then they started calling me "Sir" and telling me I'm being a "danger to their patients" - hospitals, right?

This site is dedicated to a saint who is best known for slaying a dragon.
