Did he make the horse cry?

I am shocked, that there is gambling going on in this establishment!

Lazy, drunk and winning big dick contests is no way to...wait a minute.

psh, easy questions.

There really are people in the world who make a living off of Gambling (and not just in WWN's imagination).

See the book "The Man with the $100,000 Breasts".

I work in bars, and you know I could believe this.

/didn't rtfa though

Why the hell does anything from WWN EVER get greenlit?

i have seen that movie, did he have an orangutan?

Did he have the Daily Mirror Book of Facts?

Karate Explosion: Why the hell does anything from WWN EVER get greenlit?

I completely agree, what are these guys paying fark or some shiat? None of it has the "satire" tag on it ever either.

We might as well start posting The Onion articles on here like it's some kind of news.

You'd be surprised how many people the Star Wars question fools.

and to think i've been uselessly remembering the only guy pete rose hit a grand slam off of

^--if wookies live on endore, then..wait..how does it go again?

I said 5 years because I knew it was a trick question, not for the reason they gave. Do I still win?

Good questions... But, has he answered to the IRS? It says he now has 8 million.. Of course, what did he start w/ before he began his bar betting?

How is this guy a hero? Instead of a job, he hangs out in bars, and makes cheesy bets? That's a bum, not a hero.

His 8 million dollar net worth is only considered a "small fortune" ?

Easy questions...

This guy is a predator of the dumb, oh wait so is the state with the lottery...

Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go about gambling son...

/You'vedisgraced yourslf reading comments on a WWN article...
//P.S. Don't gamble, you've proven the dumb part...

I'm more suprised this guy hasn't been beaten into a pulp.

Reminds of that stupid one that bums will do. I'm trying to remember it. They go something like, "I'll bet you $50 I know where you found your shoes." And you, feeling all smug, go "Ok, where?" And they respond, "On your feet."

these seem like trivia questions... not bets. a bet is the classic -->


bet that you can drink 3 pints of beer before someone else can down three 1-ounce shots. The thing is, they have to give you a one-beer head start and neither of you can touch the other person's glasses.

drink your first beer. When you're done, place your empty glass upside down over one of your opponent's shots. now you can finish your other 2 beers at your leisure -- they're not allowed to touch your glass so that third shot won't be finished until you remove your glass.


this guy just looks up little-known facts. i cry "shenanigans!"

Borninfire, it's not even real, it's WWN, it's satire.

For the love of god, if you're going to post on the article, make sure the link isn't satire.

that was just in a movie i watched, 'poolhall junkies' or something along those lines.. it goes more like:

"i'll be you _____ i can tell you where you got your shoes"
"yeah right, i bought these on a vacation, you'll never be able to guess"
"yeah, but i didn't say i'd tell you where you BOUGHT them, i said i'd tell you where you GOT them, and right now, you GOT them on your feet"

Star wars is set in the distant distant future looking back. 1000 years is probably more like it.

No, Star Wars starts talking about "a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away". A long time ago from now is the distant past.

hey there fermat....

star wars is set in another galaxy where technology is far more advanced than ours. even though many of the people asre human they are not earthlings.

Their last trivia question, I belive they got it wrong. #10

10. Going from the Atlantic to the Pacific, through the Panama Canal, in which direction are you traveling -- east or west?
answer: east

? Does the panama canal make some curves?

I do not fail fark. I come here to get my news and see things that I normally wouldnt because they arent covered by CNN. I could care less about anything WWN says. It's one thing to greenlight something thats TRUE and funny. It's retarded to post something unfunny and false. Hey, lets just start greenlighting people's blogs.. it would certainly be more interesting

? Does the panama canal make some curves?

Yup. Mapquest it.

It actually runs from the Atlantic SouthEast to the Pacific.

It's like: What is the first foreign country that you would come to if you go due South of Detroit.... Canada.

Guy I went to college with is living entirely off playing poker online.....its awesome.

I knew a guy who would play blackjack 1 time a year, and he would usually make enough to cover his tuition and his spring break.

1209 dollars a day ?

Another quality article from WWN.

I know a guy who made a small fortune as a pro gambler and invested it in his very own pro-gambling operation complete with nerds at computers that place bets all over the world in real time.

It can be done (of course he was totally wiped out and heavily endebted several times before he made it).

If he plans to retire from being a professional gambler, Will he stop drinking and betting then? "Man, I don't drink or bet any more, I'm retired from all of that! Now I go to the office downtown and put in overtime work even though I don't get paid for any of it."

Essentially this guy is becoming like "Kramer" from Seinfeld.

Karate Explosion: Hey, lets just start greenlighting people's blogs..


that's been done many times already...

I'm smarter than the average bear.

/go all right except for the Idaho/Maine one and the Panama Canal one (even though I knew they were trick questions, I didn't know the real answer).

Obviously the WWN is sending Drew a nice little sum just like the people behind HSR.

1. The "immaculate conception" refers to the birth of what biblical figure?

ANSWERS

1. The Virgin Mary -- not, as about everyone but a seminary student will tell you, Jesus.


I have had that in my FARK profile for a long while now. Duh.

Good bar bet. When watching the ballgame on tv and the batter's count goes to 3-2, bet the guy next to you that the next pitch will be fouled off. 66% of the time you'll win that bet.

No matter how drunk I get, I never make any bar bets. It's just stupid, you know there has to be a trick in it somewhere.

Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars.

you farkers complaining about not wanting to read the wwn articles... you do realize that there is a little icon indicating wwn there, right? you know that you don't have to read it right? you know that you can close the window without reading it if you mistakenly clicky the linky, right?

quit yer biaaatchin (wine should go in yer mouth, not out)

besides, am i the only person who thinks this would be a great way to go through life? drinking always, living free off the stupidity of others? sounds like darwinism to me.

/knows the article is a fake
//still wishes for the ability to drink and live free

Don't randomly insert, commas in sentences. It makes them, difficult to read. It also makes it look, like you don't understand grammar.
