Sunday Reading: Seeing Spectres Edition


Upper St. Clair: Did they hire lawyers, or assign the brief as a third-grade project?

Ground Zero: Even third-graders wouldn't fall for this one.

The Islamic world: When fairy tales + reprobate prudes = law.

Saudi Arabia: When fairy tales + troglodytes = law.

Madness: Where minds (Sarah Palin's and Osama bin Laden's) meet.

WikiLeakia: Could the CIA be this stupid inept?

PROPOSITIONS TERMS
****************
Wagers accepted while proposition posted (until removed); dds may be revised at any time without advance notice; no winner paid without ticket; all bets are action upon acceptance by management. 10% commission deducted from successful wagers
PROPOSITIONS POINTERS
The number expressed after a proposition identifies the line, or ratio by which wagers for that proposition would be paid upon occurrence of the proposed event. A line of 2-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $2 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $3). A line of 1-1 indicates that a dollar successfully wagered would generate a $1 winning (with return of the $1 wagered, for an aggregate payment of $2). A line of 3-5 indicates that a successful $5 wager would generate a $3 winning (and aggregate payment of $8). The greater the ratio the first number bears to the second, the less likely the proposed event is expected to occur.)
Examples:
99-1 extreme odds; remote probability
15-2 high odds; low probability
1-1 even odds; 50-50 probability
2-15 low odds; high probability
1-99 extreme odds; overwhelming probability
