Are you in Geometry, then? You should enjoy it, I thought geometry was alot of fun.

 

I'm a sophmore, and Pre Calc is no walk in the park, although so far it's just been a review of Alg II.

 

Sorry for the 893blahblah.gif , You may now resume your usual posting. wink.gif

Birds - well, their names anyway. I'm a serious birder who keeps a life list of wild bird species I've seen alive and unrestrained within the ABA boundaries (essentially N. America north of Mexico). That's my major hobby - in that I've spent more on a quality pair of binoculars than I spent on coins this year. Aside from that, books and DVDs

That is so cool that you collect Japanese wood block prints, Sy, do you have any images you might share with us?

 

I don't really collect anything aside from coins, but I do have a fairly decent number of small bronze plaques and plaquettes that are either historic or numismatic in nature.

Okay, kids, for your math test today, I want you to tell me which of these is worth more. (This is another of my hobbies - casino chips.)

Nope, that is a "dollar sign" you see before the 25,000.

So I was right? Hmm.... Must be a back door somewhere. Was the Texas one owned by someone famous? Perhaps Ted Binion? Or maybe the other Red Dragon chip is phony. Something like that... Right? confused.gif

Actually, I was just having a lilttle fun. I don't know if these youngs kids would recognize the Red Dragon Casino. The chip is one of a set that I have that were used as props in the movie "Rush Hour 2" starring Jackie Chan. However, I was expecting someone to "pick up" on the location of the other chip.The Lone Star Casino really existed. It was a U.S. owned venture on the island of Tinian, but it closed its doors after a short time. Tinian is significant because it was from there that the "Enola Gay" departed to bomb Hiroshima to end WWII. You kids need to work on your history. No NGC Boards for 24 hours and 4 hours of history studies this weekend.

I remembered the Red Dragon form Rush Hour, but never heard of Tinian. Can I only have 12 and 2 hours?
