If that is true, that is just incredible!
I vote that we all become gamblers. Anybody with me?

Not if we become part of the industry. We will go in together and buy a big casino and make tons of money. Works for me.

All kinds of my favourite betting Sports have started...if only I knew how to pick consistent winners instead of just betting on the cutest quarterbacks! I think I should be watching how good they play the game, instead of their cute faces and tight uniforms!

Fact 1140:

Whoopi Goldberg's real name is Caryn Elaine Johnson.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Why would she have changed her name; I liked her real name better! I don't know why, but I'm not a Whoopi fan...

Fact 1348:

In Holland, you can be fined for not using a shopping basket in a grocery store!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I find that hard to believe; that's not true, Vautrin, is it?
