#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).

Remember Roger Maris?
The one-time pad is crackable when you decrypt the pad using (method of decryption removed) .
Mike got hosed again!

#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!

#7 - The Great Race (Part 3)

Johnson, Lewis, Bailey, Carriere, T-Bag...some of the greatest sprinters the world has ever known will be running in the great race part 3 to be held on May 8 ,2006.
The bet:
T-Bag will beat Dave (barring injury) in a race from hockey net to hockey net.
Stakes: 1 breakfast.
T-Bag takes himself, Jim takes Dave.

#5 - Settled

Dave and his common sense revolution has prevailed.
Mike must pay up.
