        I haven't looked (tivo) but I will tonight if it's still out. good idea. -- nm - sheriff peggy ann Nov 11, 08:11 1
        
        especially check stations above 1000. That's where I had problems. If that's the case, it's definitely either the wiring or the junction box. -- nm - decline Nov 11, 08:13
- Easy fix? - Spawn Nov 11, 07:54 4

        2.6% house edge on a 00 roulette table. approx. .40% house edge on the pass line with 3-4-5x odds. -- nm - znufrii Nov 11, 09:11

        I used to play when I was 14 or 15. Fun game, but older kids got *pissed* when I took their money. -- nm - Spawn Nov 11, 08:03
        
        Neither am I but it is fun to watch. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 11, 08:03 2

      - [deleted]
  - i think they have been for minor flows, but the lava would just roll right over them in many cases i assume. -- nm - Andie Nov 11, 07:33
  - It's pretty much impossible. It's tons and tons of 4000 degree rock. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 07:33 1
