    In honor of my upcoming vacation to LA/Las Vegas, I thought I'd check on some upcoming events that I might find some personal financial interest in. While doing so, I came across the following beauty on the Las Vegas Review Journal website...

    ODD ODDS/Odds To Occur by 2010

    5-2 Cuba becomes a democracy

    4-1 Puerto Rico becomes a state

    5-1 Quebec leaves Canada

    8-1 JonBenet Ramsey killer convicted

    15-1 HIV vaccine

    20-1 Female U.S. President

    20-1 Dow drops to 5000

    50-1 Hillary Clinton President

    100-1 England ends monarchy

    300-1 Cure for the common cold

    1000-1 Prohibition on all U.S. gambling

    1000-1 Verification of extraterrestrial life

    3000-1 Mr. Bean wins Oscar

    5000-1 "Who wants to marry a billionaire" TV show

    10000-1 Man on Mars

    ...

    I love Las Vegas!!!

    They still have a royal family. It is not a ruling monarch but it still is one though.

    Can you really bet on this stuff? I'd put a few bills down on this one if I could. I think some of the other stuff is a lot more far fetched than this.

    Hahaha, bet on Mr. Bean winning an Oscar, that would be great.
