Congrats to the winners.
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. 🙂

I know that some of you would have preferred me to pick the comments based on the contents of each comment, but it just wouldn’t have been feasible. There were so many great comments – it would have been impossible to fairly decide.

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 did write something witty/funny get left out in the cold. Oh well :) I like the code you used to select the winners!
