All good things.... SKGR had come to hate our morning ritual of obsessively photographing the tube so much, that she was not sad to see it all end this morning.
Alas, for us, it is not without sadness that just shy of it's 40th birthday, our loyal tube of toothpaste gave up its last drop after having it's body throttled, squeezed, rolled and twisted into increasingly uncomfortable positions for over a month.
So who won the betting? Unbelievably, no one took 39 days, but it looks like kudos go to Mary for guessing 40 and Ruth for pegging 37.
Interestingly, if you average all 15 votes, you get exactly 40.5, so - as a group - everyone did extremely well, and proved that we all know a lot more about inconsquential, mundane facts than we should. MGR

A moment of silence for tubey. It shall be missed.
Thanks for reminding me! I went and got toothpaste, which I kept reminding myself to buy all weekend (and immediately forgot).
I think you should bring to tube on Friday for a fitting send-off.
oops. "the tube".
Wisdom of Crowds ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wisdom_of_Crowds ) mentions this phenomena: averaging votes of many brings the most accurate result; in particular if the group is diverse and not interrelated in a particular manner.
