My name is Patrick. Sometime during the fall of 2004, I noticed an involuntary shaking in my legs. For a long time the exact cause eluded definition.

On May 24th, 2005, however, I was officially diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as ALS or Lou Gherig's disease), a terminal disease that results in the progressive degeneration of the nerves and muscles responsible for voluntary movement. It is a fatal and incurable disease. I was 30 years old.

PSB1 Finalists Mar 24, 08, 10:26 a.m.

How to vote: Respond to this thread with the # of the finalist you would like to see win followed by an explanation if you want to add one. Votes will be counted, the ultimate decision will be made by QBN.

Narrowing hundreds of great entries down to only a dozen was a horrible experience. We stuck to Humor, Execution, and Creativity as our criteria. There are at least 30 more that should be finalists, but this is a competition, so enough of that.

Without further adieu:
