National Knife Day Contest - 2013 Calendar Link Issue

#1

Hi everyone,
It just came to my attention that we had a slight glitch in the contest printed in the 2013 Calendar (which many of you have) for National Knife Day (today!). The link that is shown in the calendar isn't correct. If you visit, http://www.spyderco.com/knifeday/ you can enter the National Knife Day contest without issue (just count carefully - visit the link and that will make sense :) )

Good luck and enjoy!

LOL, some days... for anyone (the 3 who viewed before I edited the OP) try the link again. Forum coding for an underline was not behaving well and made the link fail. It's all good now.

Again, good luck and enjoy!

Hey Taz,
I tried the link you supplied, and still nothing.
Just wanted to let you know.
Later,
Don

Don,
Please try again, I was fixing it at the same time you were posting... :)

Hey Taz,
Thanks for fixing the link.
I've been checking all day.
Thanks for all the cool knives and having this contest!
Today, I carried my Southard, se Viele, d2 Para, and my baby Goddard sprint, in honor of the holiday.
Good luck to all!
Later,
Don

Does this count for the Facebook post as well? I entered there a couple days ago...just checking to make sure my entry went through.

I clicked on the link and there are 3 blank boxes. Is something different supposed to go in each box (i.e. contact information, etc)?

Hey Capt.,
The top left box is for your name, top right is for your e- mail, and the bottom box is for your guess at the number of bugs.
Good luck!
Later,
Don

Thanks Don. For some reason, my browser doesn't display this. I switched internet browsers and it shows up now.

Does anybody else feel like the number of bugs is a trick question?

David,
The contest just went live yesterday when it was posted on facebook. If you did something a couple of days ago... it wasn't this one.

Well, technically bugs are insects, which have 6 legs and the Spyderco "bug" has eight, so it's an arachnid, so, if an entomologist entered, he/she would say "0" :D But I don't think that would be in keeping with the spirit of the contest. After all, whatever number it is, there's bound to be more than one person who gets it right, so I think there'll maybe be a random selection among right answers or some such :)

I thought spiders could be considered bugs, just not insects.

Sure, even bacteria are called bugs, but to a biologist, a bug is a type of insect in a certain group called the Order Hemiptera. Beetles, butterflies, and so on belong to other orders. I'm sure Taz wouldn't do that to us :)

I hope not. An entemology degree is not in my résumé.

not in mine either :)

I meant more like the number of spyders is more than it appears to be

It might be easy to miss the ones on the clip, blade and box. Some are only partially visible too.
