~|  The title of the referenced article reminds me of a contest I saw once.
~|  The goal was to create sentences with as many prepositions at the end as
~|  possible.  I recall the winner had six or seven, but unfortunately I
~|  don't remember the sentence.  Any suggestions out there?

The classic is:

	What did you throw that book I wanted to
	be read to out of about Down Under out for?

Strictly speaking, "Down Under" aren't being used as prepositions,
so you might want to take out the "about Down Under".
