[bobothecat]

You have won the honor to host next weeks Gizmo Quiz.

I finally won something ... ironically I'm having a tooth extracted next Wednesday. :)

Can you host next week?

Sure can.

[jecasc]

Perhaps you can ask your dentist if he can use one of this old extractors so you can tell us a little more of how those things work (and feel) next week. ;-)
