Thank you for the wonderful compliments on my silly post.  It was totally meant for a good laugh on a Friday... which happened to be the end of a very stressful week for me.  SearchBuzz - Nah, your pokes are perfect.  Thank you for the permission to "use" and "abuse" you in my post.  ;)

IgorTheTroll - I’m a bit confused.  Maybe I am missunerstanding your comment.... How is what I wrote bordering on the fine line between white and black hat?  I try to write at least one funny post a week.... this was one of them.  I know a bit about what black hat is, but I’m still learning.  Can you please elaborate.  Thanks.  :)

Nanny, I love your post and I think it is great an clean viral marketing.But there is a border line that we need to respect and walk. If we Sphinn it too much it will look like link bait or advertising but if we are careful and creative it is magic.Keep up the good work.

@Igor Sorry but since when was linkbait a blackhat technique? Lets be careful not to start applying that term to any self-promotion (besides that linkbait is neither automated or done in volume - two key aspects to blackhat techniques). @Shana - it was a fun weekend article, thanks. I don’t think *every* article on sphinn needs to be deadly serious or informative, it’s good to see the occasional one like this.

Good creativity, Shana.  That was a fun story to read, albeit a bit weird.  Still pretty original and got my interest.

I hesitated, kept on looking for other Sphinns, and scanned back up and then decided to see what this piece was like.  SO GLAD I DID.  Well written, funny account.
