Random Shit

Drew Bledsoe's career as a starting QB might be coming to an end very soon. He's had a long career and I'm surprised he's lasted this long considering the amount of times he's been hit.

Kenny Rogers cheated, but we'll never really know for sure.

There's a camel on Route 206 in Broome County. Swear to God. I was driving there on Thursday and passed by signs saying "Caution: Camel." I thought they were a joke, then I saw a camel chilling in the front yard of a farm house.

Boston Billiards has the hottest waitresses and bartenders in the city.

XM Radio is broadcasting too much talk on its music stations. XM 66 Raw used to be my favorite station due to its non-stop play of uncensored hardcore rap. Now, for some shows, its about 30 to 40% talk. It is aggravating because I love XM for its high volume of music and low volume of talk.

If you're driving somewhat fast (50 MPH or faster), stick your hand out the window, place your finger right behind the rear view mirror. There is no wind there. Then place your finger at the bottom edge of the mirror. The wind is warm there, even if its cold out. Then place your finger below the mirror. The wind is cold there. Physics!

The Italian chicken sandwich at Burger King is back!

If you answer this question right, you know a little something about Hold Em. You hold Ace-Queen of clubs, your opponent holds pocket Kings. The flop is 2 of clubs, 3 of clubs, 5 of hearts. Are you more likely to win the hand, or lose the hand?

My wireless keyboard is awesome.

The St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers have a combined payroll that is about $20 million lower than the New York Yankees.

While driving on I-87 south of Albany, a New Jersey unmarked police car used its flashing lights to convince drivers to get out of the way so it could pass them. It was an instance of aggressive driving that has given me new respect for New Jersey, and inspire me to consider installing flashing lights in my car.

Cars with the bumper sticker "This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" should also carry the bumper sticker saying "There's a Road to the Top of Mt. Washington, and as far as mountains go, Washington isn't that big at 6,288 feet"

The Mount Washington musical is still in pre-production.

The answer to the poker question was that Ace-Queen of clubs is more likely to win than the pocket Kings. Although the pair of Kings held by your opponent is the better hand at that point, AQ has a massive amount of outs. Any Ace makes a higher pair (3 cards to help you), any 4 makes you a straight (4 cards), and any club makes you a flush (8 more cards). There are 45 cards left in the deck, and 15 of them make your hand a winner. With two cards coming, you get 2 chances to hit those cards. Moreover, the pocket Kings has little redraw potential. There's only one King in the deck that will improve his hand to the point at which it eliminates some of your outs. The King of clubs gives you a flush, but it does give him some outs. Even so, if you turn the straight or the flush, the hand is over and you've won. If you hit an Ace, he only has 1 out. If you hit a Queen on the turn, it gives you 2 additional outs. You will win this hand 52.93% of the time, lose it 45.25%, and tie 1.82% of the time.
