Question: A megadeath is = to how many deaths?
(And for those playing HDYK through to the end, next week, you'll need to tell us the connection between the song Megadeth was playing there and today's theme! DO NOT leave the connection below in the comments. HINT: Use the same technique that brought you to this page.)

At long last! The votes have been tallied and checked for shenanigans, and we’re happy to present you with the results:
Coming in at 5th place, with 6% of the vote, Sword Juggler Guy.
Taking 4th place, with 12% of the vote, Mr. Don’t-Try-This-At-Home, Lightbulb Chewing Guy!
Right ahead of him, with 12.5% of the vote, Amadeus himself, Backwards Piano Playing Guy! in 3rd place.
One of our personal favorites took 2nd place, Star Wars Theme/UniPiper Guy with 28.5% of the vote. And for all you who didn’t turn in a video after our kilt-wearing piper set the bar so high in the first week of the contest, it seems there’s a lesson to be learned from Ms. Arm Rotating Girl, who was one of the last to submit and wound up with more than 30% of the vote and FIRST PLACE! Congrats to all our winners!
Now, before you go jumping on our necks in the comments, don’t forget the ‘O’ in GTFO stood for “Otherwise.” That means it wasn’t JUST a talent contest. Keep that in mind for our next GTFO contest, coming next year! Meantime, winners, please drop me a line (david ‘at’ neatorama.com) and we’ll get those prizes out to you.
So our friend over at GeekDad, Matt Blum, is on a mission which, in his words, means "trying anything and everything with bacon or bacon flavoring that I can lay my hands on. I will be trying the questionable bacon products as a public service, so you don’t have to." To-date, he's made and/or reviewed , Bacon Gumballs, a hamburger wrapped in ten strips of bacon, a hamburger ground entirely from bacon, and most recently: Fried chicken with a bacon crust.
This man has given up his job, family and possessions to build an island that floats on plastic bottles he's found and used as buoys! Talk about recycling to good use!
