...OK. I'll start with a simple one...
For the new year, my brother says I should (better) change the ring on my cell phone and destroy the one I currently use so that the rest of the world will never have hear it again... The world would be a better place.

OK, since I never keep them anyway, here's a good one I will break...
STOP spending money on lottery tickets.
(BTW, the Florida lottery was up to 100 million this past Saturday. I spent $50 on tickets and won $5.00. I know, I know, with odds of 13 million to 1, you can call me stupid.)
There were 4 winning tickets - $25 mil each. One was sold at a food mart 5 minutes from my home.

I have an even better one for you.
Stop repeating yourself.
As for me, stop being late for work. Even though I am with in the 7 minute legal thing. During the summer, they adopeted a rule saying 1 minute, or 2 hours, late is late. Therefor you'll get a half point. Total BS. Even it wasn't for me, the place would not open. So even though I was 3 minutes late, I still got that half point. Despite the fact we opened on time. WITH 10 minutes to spare. Which is normale, wether I am late, on time, or even early.

How many tickets would one have to buy to have one of every possible number combination?

I was thinking 13 million. Since the odds are 13 million to one. But that is my guess for a morning person after drinking the night before.

it would depend on the lottery, but I would also guess that Rob is right
on the other hand you should have told us earlier so we could get a ticket as well :-)
My take on lottery tickets is
1) buying one lotter ticket increases your odds of winning much more then not buying :-)
2) Even if I loose the money I spend goes into the system (like my friend says, a tax on stuppidity) but a tax is better then ligning the pockets of some rich guy (like a private casino)

would that be a redundancy, an oxymoron or a double negative?
