    Space Exploration / money well spent?

    I just read part of an article that mentions a future project by NASA to send a spacecraft to Pluto in 2006 to explore the planet and the Kuiper Belt beyond it. Cost would be between 500-800 million if Congress approves it. Can anyone tell me why the money we throw in space isnt a waste of...

    handicapping question

    Some of you do this for a living, so I thought I would try to get someone's opinion on this. I was thinking about tracking teams turnovers in each game. Maybe someone has had experience with this before. If a team commits say 17 or more turnovers in back to back games, are they more likely to be...

    boxing question

    This may be a rhetorical question, but I am going to ask it anyway. Someone tell me exactly what it means when someone calls a boxer "pound for pound" the best fighter in the world. If I tell you that the ant is "pound for pound" the strongest creature to inhabit this earth, then I could back...

    taking a poll re: Cal Ripken's last game

    Just finished watching Cal's last game. Bottom of 9th, two out, Brady Anderson at bat, Cal Ripken on deck.....instead of walking Brady so Cal could get one final AB, Brady was pitched to and struck out. How many of you would have had the pitcher walk Brady instead of taking the chance on leaving...

    Question for IE re: NCAA Contest

    IE.... In the contest thread you have the time of the Maryland/Virginia game listed at 6:00 pm. Has the time of this game been changed? Everything I am still reading has the game time listed at noon on Saturday. If it is still a noon start time, I assume this means that no posts will be...

    am I the only one who hates.....

    ...this new "unbalanced" baseball schedule that puts an over-emphasis (IMO) on division games? It's almost Sept and here in Baltimore, Oakland and Seattle are just coming into town for the first time this year. I hope they someday go back to playing all the teams a more equal number of times.

    How much is that (+180 or better) doggie in the window?? (Analysis)

    Ok, I compiled the data from this year on all +180 or higher dogs. I made a few assumptions when compiling the data which I dont think are too far off. Since the site I used only listed the favorite line, I assumed a 10 cent line for all favs under 200, a 20 cent line for all favs in the 200-290...

    NeTeller authentication procedure???? Possibly very important information here.
