Spiteful & Delightful Game #1
Today's game is simple, fun and guaranteed to waste some valuable work time.
Step One: Go to http://www.spitefuldelightful.blogspot.com
Step Two: Find the typo missed by teachers and academics alike.
Step Three: Add a comment on this blog to note that you've found it.
Prize for winning: Affirmation for your spelling and proof-reading abilities, tempered with the realization that you probably didn't find it until it was pointed out to you that it was there to be found.
Prize for second and several subsequent places: Same as the winning prize, just slightly less self-affirming and the annoying realization that other people found it first. You can argue that this was because you were working. However, we all know that the key to working is to accomplish little but still get paid. That's why God had nerds create the internet. That's why God created lunch. That's why God created jewellry, nice clothes, breasts, men with fabulous asses and all the other things that make work worth getting up for.
Prize for last place: Jeers, taunts, and the awful, horrible realization that you've been spending way to much valuable work time actually working.
Chances of winning first prize depends on who looks at this first.
Chances of winning last prize depends on the number of entries received, and how many consecutive days of staring at the Spitefule & Delightful blog it takes to find the error, all the while, being inwardly consumed by frustration and fear and the nagging sensation that your boss is watching.

HA! So what prize do I get for finding TWO typos on this posting?!?!?!?
PS: I know the answer, but since you sort of told me, does it count? But I did actually see it before you told me...I just didn't fix it. HONEST AND FOR TRUE!
Wow. ctenor did a lot more reading than he had to. Not sure what you pointed out in an earlier comment. It may have been the one in question, then again, perhaps not...
