Yeah, you're in the black sheep/prodigal son club. :lol:

American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each salad served first class.

We need something like that today so we can jump start the economy during this recession, like they did back in the day. Or was the recession in 88? I don't know I was 0 or -1 then.

Please... Don't write things like that... You make me feel old... I was 20 at that time...

Daniel Inouye has represented Hawaii for it's entire existance as a state. (4 years as Representative, the rest as Senator).

Just listened to a speaker who used the phrase "you know" 91 times in 15 minutes. That's six times a minute!

I didn't bother counting the "like"s.

The sum of any two opposite sides of a dice equals seven.

I'm not really big on pedantry but it's almost a fun fact on its own that the word 'dice', despite the way it is often used, is actually a plural. The sum of any two opposite sides of a die equals seven.

Since we're pickin' on the capn - Some dice also have more than 6 sides.

When throwing dice in a game of craps, you are always one facing side away from a seven.

Interesting observation.

But not exactly, now that I think about it: if you throw two sixes or two ones, a probability of 1 to 18, you are not one side away. In any other combination, you are one side away.

This is why the casinos let you throw the dice... although they don't let you roll the roulette ball.

No two dice have ever been rolled.

Both English and Latin have the phrase "the die is cast" ("Alea iacta est"). In both cases, they can refer either to a cube for gambling being thrown or the hardening of molten metal in a mold.

However, in both languages the phrase is most often used allegorically to refer to events which have passed a point of no return.

"The sum of any two opposite sides of a die equals seven." [Rhiane]

Instead of die being the singular, I think it should be douse.

Brain storming @ Walt Disney. The best job on earth.
