I was just in Vegas and there was a clock in the poker room where I was playing. And by playing, I mean where I was losing $60.
Is it sad that I knew all of these except for 8, 9, 10, and the exact year and monetary figures for 16? I knew that the method discussed was used by American Airlines in the mid 80's.
Is this further proof that I'm the geekier one?
rachelle you are obviously lying because the internet is never wrong and it never lies. It must be you who lies and gambles.
It's true. You caught me. I lie. I gamble. Right now I'm getting drunk on cough syrup. I'm pretty out of control.
