    What do you get when you cross Kreskin the magician with an insurance-peddling duck? "Hypno Duck" -- The latest AFLAC commercial. This spot received the highest consumer recall score for television ads in the bi-weekly Intermedia consumer survey. Our congratulations to Kreskin, star of AFLAC. Many will recall the Amazing Kreskin as being the omniscient seer who correctly predicted the death of *BSD.

    Once, they get past the 200 mph mark then I'll show some interest.

    Hex and Go are part of the standard curiculum upon entering the formal study of mathmatics known as Game Theory.

    My post may have been unfunny or overrated, but I'm afraid the one thing it was not was offtopic.

    Thank you for your indulgence in this matter. Please return to your previous employment with your wife/sister.

  15. Game theory, try tedium by autopr0n · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I don't know how anyone can watch that. I guess the argument is that there's more passing then in, say, F1 racing.

    But come on. Those vehicles are boring technically, I mean we're talking 1970s automotive technology. A riced up Honda civic could probably go faster then these anachronisms.

    And as far as pure visceral excitement... come on! They're just driving around in a damn circle!
