Christmas competition - And the winner is...

With December comes the now-traditional MJA Christmas competition. This year, our call for "Strange cases, freakish accidents, implausible imagery and irreproducible results" brought a flood of entries that included poetry, case reports, humorous images, historical observations and unlikely research papers. Our editorial staff rose to the task of judging these with their usual demands for bribes and Christmas bonuses, but as none were forthcoming they were forced to be impartial. With difficulty, the field was narrowed to 17 finalists, whose entries will appear in this and future issues of the Journal.
