  • What are the odds of four players playing poker all being dealt Royal Flushes in the same hand?

    I was playing a little video game poker today and this question popped into my head. There are only 4 possible royal flushes in a deck. So if 4 players are playing a normal game of poker (no wilds), what are the odds that four people can be dealt a Royal flush in the same hand?

  • How can a player....?

    ....be a 7 time All Pro Selection and a 7 Time Pro Bowl Selection (when it actually counted for something) and not be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Steve Tasker revolutionized the Special Teams position. Numerous times he swung the game for the Bills with his Special Teams play in the late 80's and early 90's. If Special Teams is truely 1/3 of the game then he was the positions best player ever.

  • What percenter are you?

    So the Occupy protests have really died down recently, but it was funny to see how many people have no clue where their income places them in percentage of earners. So my question is do you think you are a 1%er, a 5%er, a 25%er, etc? If you could post what you make, you might be shocked at what you perceive you make and what you actually make.

    My wife and I are in the 25% until she graduates college. At that point we'll be in the 10-15% range when she gets a job.

    My wife recently left her job so that she could concentrate on school full time. She has just over $5000 in a 401K that has to be moved out of her former company's plan. I figured a Roth IRA is the best option, but wanted to see what other ideas there may be.

  • In Dante Alighieri's 14th Century poem Divine Comedy Dante, described the nine circles of hell...?

    During his journey into the depths of hell Dante describes each circle of hell and the people who he see's there. However his references are to historical figures who were alive prior to his writing of the poem. So lets have some literary fun and update the poem with recent historical figures and in which what circle each person would be found. Provide why you put a person in a certain circle and if you disagree with someone say why and what circle you'd put them. I'll start:

    Adolf Hitler - Second Circle (Lust) While Hitler was a cruel man, his greatest sin was his lust for power and domination.

    Henry VIII - Third Circle (gluttony) Henry easily had the sin of gluttony. Having a waist of 55 inches is proof enough.

  • Private Party Price for a 2005 Honda Civic w/ minor frame Damage?

    My fiance and I are looking to sell her 2005 Honda Civic LX Special Edition private party. The car has about 48,000 miles on it however it was in one accident. When we had the car fixed the repair shop took the easy route in fixing the car and ending up cutting the frame to remove the drive side rear panel to replace it.

    Due to this the car technically has frame damage cause they welded the new piece into place.

    According to KBB her car would be worth about $9K in fair condition and about $10.5 in good. It is between those two. However with the frame damage what do you think it is worth?

    Lets say bases are loaded and the ball is hit. The fielder makes a play to the plate but over throws home. The catch recovers the ball and dives towards the plate and tags it with his free hand (hand without the ball). Is the runner coming home out on the force? References would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Would you like/dislike a change to the US Constitution requiring that at least one parent be a US citizen?

    In the heated illegal immigration debate the argument over anchor babies is a major topic. Parents entering the USA illegally and giving birth to their child here. Under the laws and articles of the US Constitution this child is given birthright citizenship and the parents are allowed to remain in the USA illegally yet are able to receive numerous benefits for this child.

    The birthright clause of the constitution is greatly outdated. It was done to help slaves and immigrants back in the 1800's become US citizens and prevent prosecution and deportation. However as we know the days of slavery and boats of immigrants entering the USA are long over. Now potential immigrants have to jump through numerous hoops at a high cost to become legal resident of this great nation.

    So my question is, is it time that the US Constitution be revised that requires that one parent must be a full fledged American citizen in order for their children to automatically attain birthright citizenship?

    Think about it, with this information you could plan your life better however you may discover you only have months to live or decades.

    So the question is would you take this opportunity?
