Actually, no, you made the claim, then supplied the purported documentation as "proof" of that claim, so you get to find the "right ones" if you want them found. You should have simply stuck with saying what you remembered instead of citing a misleading Google search as though it validated your memory. You've done enough Google searches to know they don't always turn up what you think they're going to turn up. The idea that a search on "Girl Scout cookies" plus "scholarship" would yield only items about college scholarships awarded for selling the most Girl Scout cookies was absurd on its face, and you knew that. ------------------------ Yahoo!
