There are 35 spots to go. Divide that by 1.55 = 22.58 days until the commencement of the next Dogfight Baktun. Looks like it's time for another
Public Service Announcement:
If present trends continue, the new date of the Apoca-Wig-Opo-Lips is November 7, 2012.
Please be guided accordingly. 
OK first the good news: I just noticed Wig (as of this writing, 11/13/12) is now at Rank 30 of the top 100. Congrats Wig!
Even better news, he missed his projected Nov. 7th target date of the Apoca-Wig-Opo-Lips! Woo-hoo! We live to fight another day!
Of course it's impossible to tell the extent, if any, to which pre-apocalyptic Hurricane Sandy impact and/or Zuperman-update impact contributed to the slowing rate of ascent. (Hmmm . . . perhaps Zupe's true objective is to halt or delay the Apoco-Wig-Opo-Lips???)
Now the bad news: We're on borrowed time folks! Looks like we need another
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Since 10/15/12 Wig has climbed 35 spots in 29 days, averaging 1.21 spots per day. There are 29 spots to go. As noted however, his rate of climb has decreased slightly over that time, by about 0.012 per day. Adding 0.012 as a fudge factor to 1.21, and if present trends continue, the newly revised projected date of the Apoco-Wig-Opo-Lips is now . . . (trumpet blast)
December 7, 2012. . . . a day which will live in infamy?
Please be guided accordingly.
PS: anyone catch the error I just noticed in my 10/15 PSA? I mean, What's the matter with you people? What do I have to do to get a math proof reader around here? Did we lose a war? . ..
