The Anti-Zen Dictionary

A dictionary/glossary/lexicon as sort of a cosmic, meeting of the minds, collaboration of the likes of Dan Webster, Sam Johnson, Ambrose Bierce, Hunter S. Thompson, Wm. F. Buckley, Grouch Marx, W. C. Fields and many more... even though its editors are obscure unknowns with dreadfully dangerous senses of humor.

MegaPowerBall?

Somewhat resonating image licensed under Creative Commons by killerbeez

MegaPowerBall?: Soon (for example, in Michigan) you'll be able to purchase a PowerBall on-line game ticket with your MegaMillions on-line game ticket. So, you think you'll double your chances of winning a jackpot? Hmmm, we're not exactly math wizards - but if you combine the odds of winning the PB jackpot (about 195,249,054.00 to 1) and the odds of a MB jackpot (about 175 711 536 to 1) - excluding the Texas Megaplier and PowerPlay options - your odds increase to about 1.71537556 × 10E16 to 1. Or, if you prefer, about 17 Quadrillion to 1. (Here's some perspective, there are fewer galaxies in the universe than a quadrillion). Still feel lucky? Well, do ya' punk?
