Today's Quote

Friday, October 28, 2005 11:04 pm - Mega Millions: The Friday, October 28, 2005 Mega Millions drawing has taken place, and the results are:

8-17-25-28-53 and the Mega Ball is 1.

Saturday, October 29, 2005 2:09 am - Mega Millions: There was no jackpot winner in the Friday Mega Millions drawing, but 7 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $250,000 prize: 2 from Michigan, 3 from New York, and 2 from Texas.

We were not one of the two from Texas. In fact, again, once again we had no wins. I am really upset that we spend $100.00 on one ticket so we could megaply it – And we haven’t hit once on this ticket. NOT ONE TIME!

 

The Mega Millions jackpot for the drawing on Tuesday, November 1, 2005 is:

$165 million ($97 million cash option)

There are 30 shares issued in this game. If we are a winner in tonight’s drawing each share would get

$3,233,333.33

We only have three more draws on this game. That is not quite true, we still have on only win on one ticket good until after the drawing on November 15^th, 2005.

I can only concluded two things. 1) God has not wanted us to win. 2) Or he is making the Jack Pot bigger so we all will be blessed on the last draw with the biggest Jack Pot ever!

You must know that I’m leaning towards reason number two.

 

Pumpkin Legend

The carved jack-o'-lantern dates back to medieval Ireland. The legend involves an Irishman named Jack who was too stingy to go to heaven and too mischievous to go to hell. Jack had to wander the Earth until Judgment Day with a lantern made from a hollowed-out turnip with a live coal inside. Children started making these lanterns on Halloween, and in the New World they switched from turnips to pumpkins.

October 30 -- Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 A.M.

Daylight Saving Time was first observed in the United States during World War I and then again during World War II. The time change was enacted to provide more light in the evening hours. Since 1987, Daylight Saving Time has begun at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in April and has ended at 2:00 A.M. on the last Sunday in October.

 

October 31 -- Halloween (All Hallows' Eve)

This day was known as Samhain to the ancient Celts -- the death night of the old year.

November 1 -- All Saints' Day or Hallowmas

This is the day when all the saints are honored, especially those who do not have a day of their own. The idea probably began in the fourth century as a way to honor Christian martyrs whose names were unknown. In an attempt to replace the popular pagan festival of the dead Samhain, the church moved the celebration of All Saints' to November 1.

And now for you Halloween Joke:

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you, but I don’t want to offend you"

She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me."

She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: Number one, you have to be single and number two, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!

"OK" the nun says. "Pull into the next alley." The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, "why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I have sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."
