Easter Hangover
Today everyone is suffering chocolate and jelly bean withdrawals. So maybe that is why I can't figure out what sport this article is talking about, but apparently the winner now enters Round 13, making it nearly as long as the NBA playoffs.

(Scroll down for some disturbing, Ron Burgundy-type photos from the 70s.) Einstein did his best work in the fifth grade, then coasted on his early success the rest of his life.
