That's awesome John. The Macheist guys really did an amazing job this year. All the fun and success, and still look at all that was given to charity.
One question, when you guys topped the charity donation off, which charity did you guys give to? Or did you spilt it between all 10?

NICE!
Whatcha got ain't nothin new. This country's hard on people, you can't stop what's coming, it ain't all waiting on you.
That's vanity.
This is great.
By next year, the MacHeist community will have donated well over a MILLION DOLLARS to charity!
Awesome!
You can also add $100 dollars to Save Darfur that John is personally donating because of a little side bet.... 
wow, i'm shocked to see the WWF up there at the number 3 spot! Very interesting to see these results, cheers

Shocked ? Why ?
WWF is doing great things compensating for what we stupid humans are doing to other species...
Unlike some environmentalists I know of...

well. . personally. I could never give any money to help any animal, no matter how cute and cuddly they were, as long as there are humans suffering somewhere.
and the WWF really pissed me off with all the bitching and money they waisted over the initials W, W, and F. Apparently loads of people were confusing the two organizations 
really!? yeah right!
I just assumed that more people would want to help with say, the fight against AIDS.
Fantastic list -- it's great to see how the charities break down and put some real numbers to the donations.
Wow.
Whatever the charities for MHIII are, this sets the bar nice and high - here's to breaking the half million mark next year!
