I think I'm going to start a pool, where people can bet on the number of blocks that get delivered at rtl 20. I'm going to guess four. But, that's only because after several zero-block rounds, two people will realize they can score one point each by (...) (19 years ago, 26-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
