For what it's worth... At the Y::E auction (to raise money to deal with any shortfall of conference expense, with the balance going to the Perl Foundation), which is usually an odd event anyway due to the auctioneering of one Greg McCarroll, Schwern won a bid for the opportunity to arm wrestle damian for the right to get two opcodes in parrot. Someone in the audience suggested that damian take off his shirt for this. He responded that he'd do it for a bid of 50 euros. It was pledged. Schwern said he'd do the same for the same bid. Again, the condition was met. So, basically, by doing it this way, they raised and extra 100 euros for the Perl Foundation. Just be glad we haven't been discussing the point in the auction where schwern auctioned off his pants. :-) dha -- David H.
