How long before Las Vegas takes bets on how many GI's
will be killed on a given day? Perhaps they are already doing it, but I haven't heard.

1. I wouldn't be surprised if they already are coming up with a over-under

2. I would be surprised if the odds weren't already being played
That probably sounds sick but some people will bet on anything

3. I think the "action" right now is on when we'll hit 1000 US dead...
I'm not a gambler, so I got this second-hand. Apparently the closer we get to 1000, the heavier the betting.

Seems pretty freaky to me, but what the cheney do I know? I don't even play the lottery unless they stick a big sign in front of me at the Quickie Mart saying, "NOW IT'S A SKILLION BUCKS!" and then I get a few computer-chosen slips.
