    Good on the guy.

    Personally I'd only buy one bike an over time I'd give the rest to those kids and a few other people we see on the news every now an then that are being let down by our shitty health system.

    Would be a very nice bike though,,,oh yeah

    The Yank Powerball was drawn to a record (ridiculous) $575 million 1st prize last night. 2 winners. (not me though)

    The winners don't get anywhere near that amount. Winnings are taxable, and the payout is over a period of years. If they want to take a lump sum, the payout is a lot smaller. (still lots of millions, though)
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Yeah about $180 million if taken in a lump sum. Calculated like this. $575 mil halved for takeing the lump sum payout = about $287 mil then tax paid on that amount. Or you could take the drip feed over 20 years which is $575 mil with tax removed but if you croak before the 20 years the remaining cannot be willed away and goes back into the lottery coffers.

    Sorry but the subject of kids suffering while the fat cats get fatter is pretty close to home so yeah the joke probably did go over my head with a loud shwisssh I didn't spot.

    So what's it say about me,,,yeah I did take it far to seriously.
