You should have a vote amongst all the entrants (any anyone else) for the best one. Can't vote for your own though! See what popular opinion says. Congrats to the winners.

I agree with James, randomly selecting the winners was the only fair way. That way he didn't have to worry about subconsciously playing favorites or anything like that. :) Congrats to the winners!

There were so many great comments – it would have been impossible to fairly decide.</blockquote> Another approach would’ve been to filter out those ‘great’ comments first, then randomly selecting five of them. It just feels a little bit off that a silly comment like “Because I haven’t read it yet?” wins a prize, while some other people who actually <em>did</em> write something witty/funny get left out in the cold. Oh well :) I like the code you used to select the winners!
