Leaving Lottery Post (LP)Reply
Well, do need a new roof since it was built in like 5 stages, BUT, the $5M would also cover the following; New Insulated Metal Roof, New Commercial AC system for the house (I like having a 65 degree year round house), Dedicated AC system for the Pool Room (yes, the pool is already indoors, just would be nice to completely enclose it and keep it temperature controlled year round), a pool water heating system (would have to be electric since our neighborhood does not have gas), Refinish t

This thread's getting a bit long. Nobody in his right mind is going to read it all through and probably nobody will even read this far. That's the reason I think it's time to wrap it up, tie a nice bow around it, and let it slide into the scrap-heap of LP history. That's also the reason I feel comfortable making what I hope will be the final post on this tread. The people I've been referring to as jackals, the people someone else referred to as pirahna (sp), aren't members of the lot

I've seen this guy above before and he is definitely great. I've also seen another guy, Chris Angel. He is just as impressive. He did a feat of walking up the side of a 20 story building, to the top and walking back down. He walked as if walking down the street, upright. The reason I br

Ken Ring on the Moon
A Case for the MoonWe all know the Sun radiates heat to the ground and causes evaporation, from the puddles on the footpath to the oceans and rain forests, yet there is no way the Sun can cause the evaporation to fall back to the Earth. Moreover, it can rain at night, when there is no Sun in the sky. The Sun cannot make it rain or snow, something else must be responsible. There is only one other thing in the sky capable of exerting the necessary huge forces that would be required. The Moon has
