For those of you who aren't aware, Desert Bus For Hope 2011 (http://desertbus.org/) has started! This is a event where a large group of people hang out and play a game called Desert Bus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_%26_Teller's_Smoke_and_Mirrors) to raise money for Child's Play.
They're doing pretty well so far, but I figured that they could use all the attention they can get.

So, yeah.

Yeah, I remember this from last year. Child's Play is always good to give to. You should probably mention who's doing the marathon, for those who don't know.

EDIT: And Grant Imahara from Mythbusters is now Q&Aing through skype!
EDIT2: He's gone now, as of about 10 mins ago.

When I went to sleep last night I was sure I would have to miss out on the final minutes this year. I had calculated them to stop somewhere in the early morning, my time, and I didn't have the opportunity to stay up all night much to my displeasure.

Come morning, I checked out the site for the heck of it. Turns out they were just wrapping up, having been driving for three hours longer than I initially thought.

Internet, you guys prolonged their suffering for three whole hours. And for that I thank you, I got to see the final minutes once again!

It was a nice year for Desert Bus. And now I'm off to play QWOP.
