I love Steemit!

And I love all of you awesome Steemians on the platform!

For those of you who follow me but are not aware yet, there is a contest being run by

@anomadsoul where he is giving out Steempower delegation to Steemit Rolemodels and I have been nominated for the award. Not once, not twice, but by 3 separate Steemians with 3 separate posts (at the time of writing this post)! I am pretty darn excited about it. Unfortunately, there are only a few more hours left on that contest, and I didn't find out about it until last night, but you can still show your support for me. I am not sure exactly how the winners are going to be decided, but having more people tossing their hats in in support of me couldn't hurt. HERE IS A LINK to the original contest post. There are comments from

@artaddict,

@castleberry and from myself

@gogogadgetupvote in that post talking about why I would be a good candidate for the delegation. Any support and/or replies to those comments would probably help in getting me selected. Plus, as I always encourage you guys to Upvote each other in the comments sections, showing some love in the form of Upvotes on those comments couldn't hurt, either. I also want to drop the links to the posts of the people nominating me for this prize. Any support on those posts would probably go a long way, as well!

@artaddict has a post nominating me LINKED HERE
@castleberry did a beautiful post LINKED HERE
and @positivity420 did a post LINKED HERE

I really can't express in words how thankful I am to have such great followers!
Anyway, that is probably enough of me babbling about this OTHER contest, and probably about time to get on with my contest.

Learn Something New Every Day Contest. Day 12

That is a link to the previous contest!

You can see the cool facts that people submitted by following that link and scrolling to the comments section at the bottom. I took an extra day before giving out the prizes for that contest, so I decided to give out twice as many prizes in that contest. Some of the winning pieces of trivia included facts about the process of extracting liquid from coal, the effects of holding (or not holding) babies, and some of the differences between Alligators and Crocodiles, just to name a few! So go ahead and click that link, go learn something, and maybe toss an Upvote to any of the comments that taught you something you didn't already know!

Rules for participation.

Tell me Something I Don't Know.

Leave me a meaningful comment below with a random bit of trivia knowledge (if you don't know what a meaningful comment is, make sure you read the post by @ogochuckwu linked at the bottom of this post). It doesn't have to be the most fantastic bit of knowledge, it just has to be true. If you post something really hard to believe, I may ask you to cite your source or link me to something that backs up your bit of info. If you cannot provide me with SOMETHING (a webpage, a news report, ANYTHING) to back up you claim I will not consider it a valid entry and I will not Upvote your entry. If you say something like "Star Wars is based on a true story, and I speak to the ghost of Yoda all the time", I am probably not going to believe you. Like I said, it just has to be true (and somewhat verifiable).
All entrants will get a small Upvote for participating, (One Entry Per Person Per Day!!!) and my top three favorite will receive a 100% Upvote, a 75% Upvote and a 50% Upvote for teaching me something new that day.
Replies need to be in English or translated to English (If I can't read it, I can't judge it). You have about twenty three hours (give or take an hour depending on what time I get online that day) to make submissions to this post, at which time I will give out rewards and post the new Day's contest. Be sure to check the comments and support the other entrants. I highly encourage engagement in the comments section, and the vast majority of my Upvote power is used on comments. Earning rewards just for talking to each other is my favorite part of the platform, and I highly recommend Upvoting each others entries in the replies to this post! If the first three comments have Upvotes from me (the first one will be about a dollar), then I have already given out prizes for this contest, but the next one will be out shortly!
You must Upvote this post to be considered a "valid entry". This is not because I want the rewards from your vote. This is because I rent delegated Steempower to provide larger Upvotes as prizes to my contests, and your Upvote on this post helps me pay for that delegation, and spread more rewards to more users!
