Sweet!

Yeah, sure jeni. Whatever makes you feel better about losing.

but...i didn't lose anything.

by spoiler, all I meant was someone dumping in the answer, having seen the pic already on MSNBC.

that was likely as it was in the same rack of pics as the colorful storm, previously posted in IotD.

i didnt' think that guessing would be "spoiling"

it was about time someone took a stab at it.

damned if i would have know what it was!

Basically, Nic didn't want myself or Tony to "guess", because we already *knew* what it was. So...

So, how does one navigate to MSNBC Week in Pics from the msnbc homepage? I have tried numerous times and can not figure it out for the life of me.

Sometimes I can find the WIP page directly with a carefully crafted google search, but I never did learn what path you're supposed to take from the homepage.

Go to MSNBC.com.

On the left, click on the News item.

It is always at the bottom of the Top Stories section.

You can also get there directly from the front page - in the lower right hand corner, in the MSNBC QUICK LINKS section, there is a bulleted link to "Week in Pictures".

or you can use this link: http://www.msnbc.com/modules/theweek....asp?0dm=B1FUN

With apologies to those who hate links, but would prefer it in my own words. In which case, I can't do any better than the post above.

Ahh, okay. Thanks guys. :]
