And closed. Very amusing and funny entries - thanks to all for entering.
Random.Org chose #24, making this post the winner:
carlosjuero: Oportet ea omnia colligam Syndrome
A particularly sneaky affliction which tends to affect those who play immersive Role Playing Games on computers (RPGs). The reward systems in such "RPG"s tend to have people focus on gathering "loot" or "mats" in order to become better/advance with their in game avatars. This can lead to the afflicted looking at the real world with a skewed perspective, seeing trees and wondering "How much wood can I get from that?", or "I wonder what type of potion I can make with that mushroom"
Symptoms include: Staring at seemingly normal objects in the world with a slightly dazed look; Fingers moving as if "clicking" on an object when there is no peripheral in sight to use; Randomly stating things to others in a way that may question ones sanity (eg: "I wonder if that dog drops hides").
Treatment: None known yet. It is theorized that a massive bombardment of electrons to the cranial region (eg: "Electro-Shock Therapy") then again this might accelerate the condition and cause the subject to think they have "leveled up".

:p Poorly written I know, but fun to think of :) Congrats to carlosjuero. PM forthcoming.
Thanks again to all entrants! :)

Wow, thanks for the gift :) - didn't expect the RNG to favor me, it has had a grudge against me for years :p. A nice bright surprise to come home to after a not so good week/year. Thank you again.
