Have you ever taken part in the pregnancy pool at the office? You know, like when someone's pregnant and you take bets on what she'll have, and when, and how big itll be, and all that? The problem with those polls is that you have to wait for someone to get pregnant.
Problem solved.
Which? Magazine (I guess it's the UK's version of Consumer Reports) is trying to break a washing machine, and you can bet on when it'll break. How cool is that??
I bet 26 days, 14 hours, 33 minutes, 18 seconds. (Don't take my time! I don't want to split the prize with you!)
rOD bet "9-odd days."
I want to try something like this... quick, think of something I can break!
what do you get if it breaks when you said it would??
One thousand British pounds, which works out to approximately $1600 American.
With that, you could buy a new washer and a dryer too!
Hell, I could use £1000.... probably should have noticed that they're tossing colanders and autobiographies into the thing before I voted, but what the hell.
