Thumbs up A True Miracle (no, not a religious lecture)

Check this out...I went to Best Buy (comp/tech/movie/music store) and was looking at DVDs. Well I had been wanting a DVD of the Superbowl XXXIX (the most recent one), but because they were $30 I decided I couldn't afford one without dropping about my allowance for two weeks. Here's the good part...I took a final look at a random copy of the DVD and when I checked the price tag to make sure a miracle hadn't happened, I noticed on that particular copy out of 20 or 30 others, the price was mismarked to $6.99!!! I took it to the counter and the techie-chick confirmed it - it was a mismark and I could have it for that price. True proof of God in my book.

You got any pics of this techie chick? If that's true proof of god, then I can only imagine.

Two total plus ones I checked after I got the miracle copy. First I picked one out to buy which was $30. Then later after I was done shopping I looked at one once more for no reason, and that was the random $7 one. Because I wanted to know if this was a miracle, I checked all the other copies AFTER I got the miracle copy and none were mismarked except mine.

It wasn't mis-marked, it's a defect. Watch out for the surprise ending.

For non-fans of Roman Numerals, at least the next one is much shorter at XL, does that mean eXtra Large?

Remember the end where on third down, McNabb threw a pass that went just over the outstretched fingertips of recevier Freddie Mitchell and into the arms of Harrison for an interception with 9 seconds left, sealing a victory for the Patriots?

Just don't be surprised on your copy if that pass was complete and the Eagles win instead.

I just specifically watched the end of both the main feature and the world broadcast, and there was nothing special.
