Shim and I keep changing places. He leapfrogs me when Anaheim or Carolina wins, I leapfrog him when Buffalo wins.

I always thought it'd be cool if you could show that Grevious was actually Darth Maul, and that the androidization (?) was a precursor to Darth Vader

Let X represent the money in envelope one.
Let Y represent the money in envelope two.

Y = 2 X OR Y = X / 2

Therefore:

X = Y / 2 OR X = 2 Y

So as you can see, without knowing which envelope is which, both envelopes are equally likely to be the one containing more money.

That's not saying much. Angels and Demons, while an interesting plotline, had even more inconsistencies and factual errors than Da Vinci Code. Brown, rather than trying to pass theological theories as truth, simply made errors in physics, architecture, geography....you name it. Dan Brown, as an author, is terrific at making stupid people feel smart for having read the book, and smart people feel stupid for having read the book.

Yeah, I'll probably buy, but, like Gaffer, if it really does look shoddy, I'll turn away and go back to my VHS tapes. At this point, I'd buy just to legitimize all the bootlegs I have.

EDIT: On a related note, I still have the Faces VHS set in mint condition. While this isn't much, I bought it when I was 12 because I wanted to keep it forever. Wehn I heard that the OUT was coming to DVD, I almost cracked it open to watch them, but with the non-anamorphic news, I'm glad I didn't

Yes, that's just it. One conference contains all the western teams and the other all the eastern teams. The big reason it's split up like that is to cut down on travel expenses. North America is much larger than Europe, geographically, and if you were to have Montreal playing LA every couple weeks, that'd get expensive after a while. That, and there's 30 teams in the league, so you've got to cut it somewhere.

As for the AFC and NFC, that's NFL football. Don't ask me about it. I'm Canadian. We have our own football league....with 8 teams

Thanks for your confirmation.

A knowledgeable source would have corrected me and told me there were 59 peaks, and that's only counting peaks over 14,000', which was his goal.

But that's just changing the status, like from "Jedi Knight" to whatever, but not changing username. I don't think that's possible

Yeah, there's no stopping you now. But, do remember that Ana/Edm won't be the Final final, just the Conference final. The winner will play the winner of the Carolina Buffalo series

Nope, every series is best of 7, the whole way through. In effect, the team who eventually wins the Stanley Cup will have won 16 games through four series (conference quarter-finals, conference semi-finals, conference finals, Stanley Cup Finals). The winning team will play between 16 and 28 games over the course of 8 weeks.
