Truth is dtranger than fiction

I love that story...

I'd heard the first part of that story about him figuring out the pattern, but never the rest. It amazes me how many people don't invest their winnings but continue to, pardon the pun, press their luck.

I'm with Prudence, I'd heard the first part but not the follow-up.

Actually what I found most interesting was going up one page to the conspiracy list. There you find things like: NSA, Alien Autopsy, Majestic-12, Illuminati and Press Your Luck. Looking over that list a song comes to mind, please feel free to sing along...

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!

Wow, the truth is stranger than fiction...

What a great story. This would make a great movie. Thanks for the link, CP.

I mentioned this to a coworker of mine.

"You know that game show 'Press Your Luck'?"

He shook his head.

"The one with the Whammies?"

Nope.

Then I realized that my coworker is 18 years old. He wasn't even born yet when Press Your Luck stopped filming.

Although he may have seen the bomb of a remake...

BTW, I just found out that Game Show Network made a special about this incident!

Prudence · 09-01-2005, 09:32 AM

I used to love watching that show. No Whammies!

That and Tic-Tac-Dough. Oh yeah.
