Verizon has hidden 21 DROID X handsets for you to find

How badly do you want a brand new Motorola DROID X? Bad enough to drive across the country armed with clues tweeted to you by Verizon? The carrier has planted 21 certificates, each of which can be exchanged for a brand new DROID X. Big Red has just now got around to posting the contest rules. Each week, the tweets become more and more specific until the final clue-the GPS location of each certificate-is released. An example of a tweet is this actual clue from Verizon: "Droid X designate #5 is near a grassy knoll. Shooting HD." The grassy knoll is a reference to the JFK assassination as is the word "shot". This could mean that the certificate is somewhere near Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. Click on this link for a current list of tweets. For all of the rules and legal fine print, check out the source link and Good Luck!
