To celebrate the fast-approaching 500,000th reader comment, ScienceBlogs is running a contest.
To enter, all you need to do is post a comment on any of the blogs in the SB network, using a valid email address. Alternatively, you can sign up to the new weekly newsletter.
When the 500,000th comment is posted, the contest will be closed. One email address from a comment posted at around that time will then be randomly selected.
One lucky reader will win a 5-day trip to the world's greatest science city, as voted by you. (Cambridge, U. K. currently tops the poll.) 50 runners-up will receive a stylish ScienceBlogs mug.

This is an open thread (and your last chance to get into the 500,000th comment contest).
I'd just comment like nuts if I were eligible for the 500,000th comment contest.
Call this an open thread. Go nuts! I'm too busy writing to blog anyway.
This crept up on me - I was unaware it was so close yet. I just saw it and had to capture this historical moment:
Maybe by now you've noticed the new box at the top of the comments, just below every post, asking you to enter the ScienceBlogs 500,000th comment contest. You have to submit your email address with your comment to be entered.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the winner turns out to be a rabid Creationist or some insane spammer that one often sees herein.
Does the comment have to be relevant? Or can we be blatantly angling for a win?
Although there's nothing in the contest rules about the nature of the winning comment, I think you should try to make it relevant, if only because you might get banned for consistently posting nonsense comments.
Well.. here is my attempt at being selected :)
