Random information contrived to astound.....or......at least waste your time.

If you watched every episode of Law and Order back to back, you would be sitting in front of your television for 19 straight days.

If you watched every episode of The Playboy Club back to back, you'd be sitting in front of your television for either six hours, or until you required hospitalization to repair the eyes you attempted to rip out of your head.

If you watched every episode of Emily's Reasons Why Not, you would have wasted thirty minutes of your life.

If you bet $100 on Mine That Bird in the Kentucky Derby in 2009, you would have won $10,300.

If you bet $100 on Secretariat in the Belmont in 1973, you would have won $120 dollars.

Mine That Bird was 50-1.  Secretariat was 1-5.

One of my favorites:  If I had bet $1000 in July of 2007 that the Detroit Tigers would lose the Division Title on the day after the season ended, I would have $100,000.  But I would STILL be pissed about it.

And the odds of me hitting my head repeatedly against something solid and wooden is 1:1.

Yup.

Must be Tuesday.

But how much would you have had if you bet on Secretariat at the Kentucky Derby in 1973?
