Wild stuff about asteroids... Message 4586754 Unfortunately this is only the beginning. The failure of G-4 is a good precursor to what will probably happen in November of this year. At that time, the Earth will orbit through the remnants of an old comet, the result being what we know as the Leonid meteor shower. Pretty to look at from the planet's surface -- but deadly. Every 30 years or so, Earth's orbit hits the center of this patch of rocks, pebbles and dust, and the planet gets pounded. Fortunately, we sit under several miles of atmosphere which deflects or burns off most of these celestial missles. Our satellites are not so lucky. Face it - you wouldn't work very well after being hit by a grain of sand traveling at 20,000 miles per hour, and neither will a delicate piece of unshielded electronics. Forget "Deep Impact." Forget "Armageddon." That's fantasy time. In reality, major chaos is just around the corner, falling one grain of sand at a time, so get your backup systems ready before it's too late. It's just another example of humans getting ahead of themselves and leaving their technological fly open. "heads up!!!!"

OEX staying ahead of the SPX today... OT no he played the dark side but only on the dont pass line never makes any other bet including don't come bets... I like playing the dont side...but then I also tend to buy puts...it must be in my nature...I have trouble reaching the dont pass line though on some parts of the table. the system I tried was just money management waited for 1 or 2 points to be made then on the dark side if 1 point made...I would start with 1 unit...2 units.... 4 units(and some variations) and after three tries losing I waited for the next shooter and only did odds on the 4 and 10..because I was being conservative if I waited for 2 points to be made...I started with 2 units... and then sometimes on the very first point I would do 22 or 44 inside for 2 or 3 rolls and then take it down if i deviated from this..leaving it up too long ....not waiting for 1 point to be made.....doing insides on more than the first point.... I lost my ass.... very few dont betters on that boat...but they pack the big chips...dont shoot and are serious as hell and tend to be the "professionals" there was one guy who was placing both sides on every roll and playing for the odds...and ended up losing 7 dollars after several hours...not enough action for me I guess.....if I want that I usually just do the guerilla tactic and ask someone if I can play their odds... I ask this guy with a big cowboy hat if he ever did that...he said "No ma'am, I don't think they would let me do that" I just laughed at him and told him to try it but he looked at me like I was crazy...
