Giant alien UFO appears over Alabama: Markets crashing!

Quote from wiesman02:

Flux Capacitors are a better replacement for negative power couplings. DUH !

So what? Negative Power Couplings are on sale right now... Ewok outpost on Endor. Sale ends soon!
 
Quote from brocklanders:

One bookie gave 1000-1 odds to a guy making a $ £1,000 bet. That's a pretty good risk/reward if you ask me. The same bookie later dropped the odds to 100-1. The catch is that it has to be confirmed by Bush or Gordon Brown. That guy will likely lose the £1,000 but at least he got good odds on it.

1000:1? If you knew aliens would show up one day in a three year period that's about par. But there's no way you're picking the three years. 1000:1 is good odds for the bookie. Maybe 10k:1 might be good for the better, but I wouldn't take even that.

Well, the bookies disagree with you apparently. They only offered 1000:1 to a single better before dropping to 100:1. Even then, they stopped taking bets on the UFO event at 100:1 to cap their liability. I think the bookies lost their nerve when staring at a 7 figure loss on one event. If the true odds were 10K:1 as you suggest they should have been more than willing to take all comers at 100:1.
 
There's an alien about to speak to the nation now.

It has a white beard. It has studied our economy, and 'The Great Depression,' allegedly.

I fear it.
 
Quote from yoohoo:

Thought I'd start this thread before the blighters appear. I understand it's defininte that they are coming today, but it might not be Alabama.

Anyone got any photos?

Are they offering tours?

Do they have any trading software for sale?

They're not coming here. Some comedian once said, "Earth is considered the Alabama of the universe" And they're worried they might get the same treatment republicans gave that African American little girl at the steps of the grade school she was almost prevented from attending.
