Three blondes died and found themselves standing before Saint Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter was.
The first blonde said 'Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we all give thanks and eat turkey.' St. Peter said 'NO!' and he banished her to hell. The second blonde said 'Easter is when we celebrate the birth of Jesus and exchange gifts.' St. Peter said 'NO!' and he banished her to hell. The third blonde said she knew what Easter was, so St. Peter said 'Tell me.' She said 'Easter is a Christian holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with his disciples when he was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested him. The Romans hung him on the cross and eventually he died. Then they buried him in a tomb behind a very large boulder......' St. Peter said 'Very good......' Then the blonde continued, 'Now every year the Jews roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If he sees his shadow, we have 6 more weeks of basketball.' St. Peter fainted.

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.
