Scruit

So..many..one-liners.... He just wanted to be your riding buggy.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Admitting that could make them try to claim you were partially at fault. In this case even a successful claim that you are 25% at fault would only reduce their payout by $500-$1k - not worth the hassle/risk. However, if you were claiming for massive injuries and sere trying to send them a $100k hospital bill then I could see them trying that on. I would have gone with "Normal traffic speed". (60-65 in a 55 *is* normal traffic speed where I live - you won't even get a second glance from an officer in this area)

Looks like $150 http://www.megamillions.com/howto/ BTW, I charge a $149 service fee for looking that up.

Any time a dog is hit by a vehicle in the road the assumption is that the dog's owner is at fault. Sucks that the dog was allowed out - not its fault. If the dog survives then he needs better petsitters. Here's hoping you get your bike paid for, through whatever combination of insurance/payments/subrogration is needed so your rates don't go up.

3 winners. Kansas, Illinois and Maryland. $213m each, before tax, if they take the annuity option. Maybe 50m or 60m if they take the lump sum and pay tax on it?

So did they say that every possible combination was played?

Nothing. My 1k fake ticket got me nothimg.

How do you know? Multiple people can pick the same numbers. I read earlier that more than 40k people play the "Lost" numbers.

Did you buy the 290 tickets or did someone else? Whoever buys the tickets fro a pool should never buy personal ticket also becuase it's too easy to claim your personal ticket won, not one of the pool tickets. When I used to be in a pool the pool admin would buy the tickets then photocopy them and give everyone in the pool a copy - that way we know that X number of tickets were acutally purchased, and that if any of them won then the admin couldn't sneak off with the winnings. There's a lawsuit going on right now where a pool admin won on a 'personal ticket' he bought while buying the pool tickets. With no proof of which tickets are which, I can see him losing. (even if he is tellign the truth)

No clue. In my experiment I just went with randomly generated numbers.

I am trying an experiment. Assuming I have $1k to hand (as we all do, y'know?)... I generated 1k random lottery entries on my computer, and recorded them. Once the lottery is drawn tongiht I'll see how much I would have won had I played those numbers.

If nobody gets it this week it could reach $1B by next drawing. Yes, that's a B.

I will buy 0 tickets and will be net better off after the drawing than any of you suckers who can't count.

Pretty sure that one was a joke...

Really? My wife's old Grand Cherokee 4.7v8 weighed 4800 Call it 5000 with a guy driving it). It put out 305hp. 134hp per ton 0-60 in 6.6 seconds Closest you'd get in a normal person SUV is the SRT8 which comes in at 425hp/5000lbs = 187hp per ton. 0-60 in 4.8 seconds. That's Mustang GT territory. My wee-strom weighs 485 wet, make that 700 with my fat ass on there. 62hp. About 194hp per ton. 0-60 in 3.9 sec If you are riding a 250 then sure, you'll struggle to outrun a cota bus... Anything bigger and you still have the acceleration advantage. The bike gives you advantages in acceleration and maneuverability in tight spaces. Us that to your advantage. If you need to get away from someone then the bike gives you many more options. DL650 60-0 is 122 feet. Cherokee is 140 feet. Think about that next time an SUV is tailgating you. Either give yourself more stopping distance so you can slow more grandually if needed, or just change lanes and let him past. The bike nevers wins when the "whose got a bigger dick" competition becomes the "whose vehicle protects him the most in the crash we just caused" competition.

Seeing you does not mean they care. (personal experience)

If you will 200mil then you'd better be wiping with Benjamins.

I'll post a pic of the $10 I didn't spend. Dollah dollah bills yo.

I would set up the Scruit Charitable Trust that would be administered by my lawyers (and their assigns), who would be paid a service fee from the trust. The trust would pay a monthly stipend to my descendents that would equate to about a 75k salary equivalent (with adjustments for inflation etc). Enough to keep them very comfortable but not enough for them to do stupid stuff or quit their own jobs. They would never know the balance of the trust fund. Emergencies could be loaned out for, up to 2x annual stipend, assuming trust administrators agree, but would have to be repayed from stipend deductions. Stipend could never be assigned/sold etc. No "structured settlement" companies. Only true blood descendants - ie my descendant (Bob) marries a woman who has a kid already, and then have a kid between them (Tom) then they get two stipend payments - one for Bob and one for Tom, but wifey and her kid get nothing. Stipend woudl have a clause that it could not be used as a bargaining chip in a divorce. That is, stiped payments would stop if it is found to be used to pay alimony. Stipend payments for children would be held in a seperate trust until they turn 18. They can do what they want with their own trust at age 21, and stiped payments would continue as normal. I would want the money to keep them comfortable, but not make then dependent. Nobody is living a Paris Hilton lifestyle on my dime. An airbag, not a chauffer. That sort of thing.

Trust ME to apply logic to an illogical dream. Besides, if you win 200m and spend it on the best looking girl in THIS city, then what are you going to do with the other $199,999,999.75?

Never go fast enough in a corner that you can't turn tighter in response to debris on the road. Don't tailgate. Just becuase the car in front of you didn't swerve, doens't mean there's no obstruction. Cars can straddle bricks, roadkill, mufflers etc and show no reaction - the first you know about it is when the car in front suddenly appears to sh!t a dead groundhog on the road in front of your tire.

"But officer, I was in my lane and he tried to lane split..." My word against hers. Everyone else just drove away. Another reason I've got more cameras on my bike than the columbus freeway system.

Cyberdyne Gravel Systems, huh?
