Things To Think About :)

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist? ......... If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? ........... If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? ........... Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks? ........... What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men? ............. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me ....they're cramming for their final exam. .......... I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? toothpicks? ........... Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them? Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail? ............ If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for? ............ You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive. ........ Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag? ...... If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose? .......... Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
