True stories? LOL Hard to believe

I am a medical student currently doing a rotation
in toxicology at the poison control center.
Today, this woman called in very upset because she
caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured
her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no
need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed
down and at the end of the conversation happened to
mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to
eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring
her daughter into the Emergency room right away.

Early this year, some Boeing employees on the airfield
decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were
successful in getting it out of the plane and home.
Shortly after they took it for a float on the river, they noticed
a Coast Guard helicopter coming towards them.
It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency
locator beacon that activated when the raft was inflated.
They are no longer employed at Boeing.

A man, wanting to rob a downtown Bank of America, walked into
the Branch and wrote 'this iz a stikkup. Put all your muny in this
bag.' While standing in line, waiting to give his note to the teller,
he began to worry that someone had seen him write the note and
might call the police before he reached the teller's window. So he
left the Bank of America and crossed the street to the Wells Fargo
Bank. After waiting a few minutes in line, he handed his note to the
Wells Fargo teller. She read it and, surmising from his spelling
errors that he wasn't the brightest light in the harbor, told him that
she could not accept his stickup note because it was written on a
Bank of America deposit slip and that he would either have to fill out
a Wells Fargo deposit slip or go back to Bank of America.
Looking somewhat defeated, the man said, 'OK' and left.
He was arrested a few minutes later, as he was waiting in line back
at Bank of America.

Play gin-rummy tournaments online
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.
