At +4000, wouldn't a $100 bet net you $400,000? The article says you would get $4000. I am not a betting man and am ignorant to what this means.

Thanks so much. On the other hand, it doesn't make it sound like long odds at all that the game would begin with a safety. 40/1 sounds much smaller than I imagined.

Actually, in SB IX, Dwight White scored the first points of the game with a safety on Minnesota QB Fran Tarkenton, so it isn't the first time it was the first score of the game.  It is, however, the earliest a safety has occurred in an SB.

Let's see the prop odds of the first half opening with a safety on the first play from scrimmage matched by a kick-off return to open the second half.  I think one might need a Improbability Drive to calculate that one.

I'll see if I can find a good strong cup of tea for you.

I just want the knife that slices and toasts at the same time.

Don't talk about toast. Toast is the “Tip of the hipster spear,”

And on the brief menu, toast was a standalone item—at $3 per slice.

It took me just a few seconds to digest what this meant: that toast, like the cupcake and the dill pickle before it, had been elevated to the artisanal plane. So I ordered some. It was pretty good. It tasted just like toast, but better.

Trouble’s specialty is a thick slice of locally made white toast, generously covered with butter, cinnamon, and sugar...The other main players on Trouble’s menu are coffee, young Thai coconuts served with a straw and a spoon for digging out the meat, and shots of fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice called “Yoko."...because it’s possible, Carrelli says, to survive on coconuts provided you also have a source of vitamin C. Hence the Yoko. (Carrelli tested this theory by living mainly on coconuts and grapefruit juice for three years, “unless someone took me out to dinner.”)

Made that for breakfast yesterday. I keep a special glass in the cupboard just to cut out the hole.
