I like this one, but it's a trap (the wording tricks ya into forgetting the real price = $25, not $30). Eeach man overpaid $0.666666667 on the $25 dollar room leaving enough for the clerk to get a coke and a candy bar from the vending machine.

I think it's simpler to say: Jimmy's rate = 1 house per 4 hours Jane's rate = 1 house per 3 hours Unknown = 1 house per x hours Jimmy + Jane = unknown: 1/4 + 1/3 = 1/x or 3/12 + 4/12 = 1/x or 7/12 = 1/x or 12/7 = x = 1 + 5/7 hours or 1 hour plus (5/7*60min/hr) = 1 hour 42 min 51.4 seconds (1'43" is close enough for a DIY project).

A 12th floor tennant takes the elevator down to the lobby every day when he leaves for work. When he comes home he has different rituals. If it rains, he rides the elevator all the way back up to his apartment. Every other day he takes the elevator to the 8th floor and walks up the remaining 4 floors. Why does he do this?

Not sure if I'm falling into a trap on the 2nd one (i.e. why would Jane paint the same house?) If it's legit, my guess is an hour and 43 minutes.

Friday is a dumb name for a horse.

Looks like a lot more work than my lazy butt would do. I dug one horseshoe pit last summer and still haven't started the other...dang that sounds lazy.

My 16 yr old has been trying to get me to read this. Have you actually read it? If so, is it entertaining? I am too, now. Thanks for the heads up. I'll watch anything with zombies in it.

+1 sage advice I'd still sign him up online for a Rainbow vacuum demonstration and schedule it right around supper time, LOL

I helped out my favorite sector of the economy. I bought 300 rounds of ammo, a Hogue grip, and some targets. I also paid for admission to the TWRA shooting range to sight in a scope I bought earlier this week for my S&W M&P 15-22. After that I ate lunch at a local non-franchised restaurant. I also took a short nap, so I can stay up late to drink beer with the neighbors, thus strengthening my community ties. Do those count?

I got this old gun... It's an Ithaca single shot 20 guage. It's killed many a deer, rabbit, fowl, and won several turkey shoots. The pics of the barrel didn't turn out, but is REAL ugly.

Drove Recklessly Today

Welcome, from just down the road in La Vergne.

Jamie, you are absolutely right. This whole conversation has gotten way too serious. Please let me be the first to offer you a sincere apology, if my comments have offended you or if you feel like I have attacked you unfairly. Far too often strong beliefs in anything cause a person to get defensive. If we had a differing opinion on illegal immigration, tax rates, universal helathcare, or 2nd ammendment rights, this would likely have gotten just as heated. So, again...sorry if I became overly defensive.

Very nice pistol! It seems like few .45's are that small, but to hold 11 rounds too is awesome.

You absolutely have a right to air your opinion, but you don't have to be so combative. I am not threatened by your position, only your demeanor. Nobody has attacked or ridiculed your position on religion. If you feel antagonized b/c someone else stated their beliefs, that's on you. You have repeatedly made insulting comments and references to others' beliefs, not the other way around.

Jamie you have done more preaching, posturing, and antagonizing on this thread than anyone. OK, we get it you're an atheist, but please note that no non-atheist on this thread has ridiculed your lack of beliefs or invited you to Church.

I decided to go with a 3-9X40 NcStar scope on a 1" Leapers riser with a Leapers vertical foregrip.

BO's comments like..."you'd think they'd be saying thank you"...are evidence that the democrats either don't realize what the majority of Americans want or are intentionally ignoring that majority, so they can continue to operate under the guise they are acting on the will of the people.

I had not heard of Pascal's Wager until now. Interesting! btw...I did think you meant me, but I'm glad you didn't and I apologize for the assumption.

Have you seen this page? U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time

If there are 200 Baptists in Nashville, should the rest of the town be able to vote their right to have a church away, because they are not Baptists? Regardless of what Islam believes, they cannot take away your rights and freedoms. In Iraq or Iran they make up such as big a majority as non-Muslims do in America. The fact that our Constitution won't allow a majority to trample on a minority is what makes us a great country.

You should hope that we Christians are wrong, b/c there is no comparing a lifetime of what you refer to as "believing something that wasn't true" to the alternative: eternal pain of damnation. I have no doubt that "The Big Guy" knows I'm not just hedging bets.

You're right, enfeild, I looked back at the email and it claimed this was Charlton Heston's basement. Like you said though, who knows?

Got this in an email today. I forget who the owner is, but who cares...look at this basement! don't know if you can call it an innocentl looking Manor House with a airplaine in the front yard, but it looks like something you'd see anywhere on the outside... even without peeking in, you can tell this door was made to protect something valuable... wow, toys as far as the eye can see... too bad they didn't show a pic of the shooting range (there has to be one, right?)...

+1 VERY well said Rob! This is exactly how I counter the nay-sayers, when they try to use science against religion on this topic. I just say, believe or not, it's up to you, but which of us stands to lose the most if they are wrong?
