Dalai Loves S&M, I Mean SNM!!!

In this economy, one has to try to save a buck wherever possible.  So, if there is a way to use my perverse talent for profit, I'm always game to try it.

Just after I diligently paid my annual dues to the Society of Nuclear Medicine, I discovered the following contest, sponsored by SNM:

So without further ado...  If this isn't worth a year's membership, I don't know what is.  Maybe they'll give me two years worth if I erase the whole thing!
