prediction for time of start of war
obviously 3/3/03. not only numerological nightmare (ok i just picked an n work it sounds good) (remember nancy reagan anybody?) but also a new moon.
i would have to say at least a 10-1 favorite |

Re: prediction for time of start of war
So can I pick 10 other days against 3/3/03 and we'll have an even money bet? Or if you insist on having the edge, how about I pick 9?

OK I'll pick 3/01/03, 3/02/03 and the seven days immediately following 3/03/03 and we'll use Greenwich Mean Time. The bet will be for a buffet dinner if we ever should meet, and of course if it should fall on any other day it's no bet--how's that?

Re: prediction for time of start of war
ok but i get a reasonable fudge factor since im not an astrologist or whatever. i dont know whether they use greenwich, EST, local iraqi time, or whatever.
this might mean i get like 40 or 48 hours or whatever i dont know. (+-12?) you can have the week before and week after if you want. |

Re: prediction for time of start of war
OK how's this then: we'll go by GMT and you get the 12 hours on either side of 3/03/03 as well, which should more than cover any time difference. Since you're now getting 48 hours instead of 24 I'll take the two days prior and the 12 days after.

Re: prediction for time of start of war
English newspaper said their money was on the night of 04/03/03, as the previous campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq have always begun on moonless nights. I can't see how the diplomatic wrangling will be done by then, though.

"English newspaper said their money was on the night of 04/03/03"
--I assume this means March 4th, and not April 3rd? International dates always look screwy to me. |

Don't think it will happen until after March 7. Blix has a date at the UN.
