Hey, watch it. Those weighted coins have won me money in certain Superbowls. The coin with the ceramic (?) side to it will go tails quite often. d:-)

While we are on the subject of coins, Mike mentioned in a thread
not long ago, that the flipping coin was one way to decide a close
play at first. During a pool game on Sat., (knew both teams
players and coaches very well), I had a banger. Don't make a
call, but reach in get my coin, flip it, and hollar "out", (BTW -
had already known that would be my call). Everyone got a big kick
out it.
