#10 - Ortiz Versus Shamrock II - July 8th 2006

Teabag has kindly agreed to wager on this fight, and heck, he said he'll take whoever I don't want! So. I'll vote with my head this time, and not my heart and take Tito to beat Shamrock again.

I'd love for Shamrock to beat him, and heck, if he does, It will take the sting off losing the bet. But just so I remember, here's what Ken's face looked like after the last fight...

#9 - Settled - Gracie Versus Hughes - UFC 60

Hughes wins by stoppage in the 1st round. Teabag wins. It was not even close. This just goes to show that the UFC old guard can't hang with the new breed of MMA fighter. The new guys have seen it all, are more well-rounded, and Brazilian Ju-Jitsu is not the mystery it once was back in the early 90's.

Still Royce was great in his time! One of my favorites!

Teabag gets a breakfast.

Next up is Shamrock versus Ortiz, the rematch. Maybe we'll get a bet on that one!

#9 - Gracie Versus Hughes, UFC-61

The ground and pound wrestler versus the wily Brazillian submission man! Dave takes Royce Gracie, Teabag takes Hughes!

Winner gets breakfast!

Look out!

The Great Race (Part 3) - Settled?

Isn't it obvious?
In a week full of absurdities (Sens out in 5) we have yet another controversy. Pictured to the left is a still shot of a 30fps video of the finish to the Great Race Part III.
Below is a zoom of the finish line whereby one can clearly see in pixel 342 that Dave's toe clearly beat Bag's finger to the finish line.
However, since we cannot be sure of the camera's angle the race is being officially called a draw.
This can only heighted the anticipation for the Great Race IV (tentatively scheduled for May 2007).

#8 The Geocaching Crypto Challenge! The One Time Pad

This is from a recent Geocache, the One-time pad by Mlord. The one time pad is a form of encryption thought to be theoretically unbreakable unless you have the key. I mentioned it at work, Slava went on and on about how they are unbreakable and Mikey bet me a breakfast and a coke that I would not figure it out within two weeks. It was actually a diminishing returns bet.. As follows:

1. If solved by midnight Friday April 14th Zartimus gets a Breakfast and a Coke(#2 becomes void)
2. If solved by midnight Friday April 21th Zartimus gets a Coke
3. If NOT solved by midnight Friday April 28th Mikey gets a Coke(#4 becomes void)
4. If NOT solved by midnight Friday May 5th Mikey gets a Breakfast and a Coke.

Cache was located by Zartimus at 7:36am Thursday April 13th.

Breakfast was delicious.. Thank you Mike!


P.S. Where's my Coke!
