Some articles on how to have fun while travelling, how to play games and even gamble.

Urban Survival And The Lottery - Despite that it might appear unlikely at first, our daily life and our long term survival seem like a lottery.

Cliché: Who Said That Life Is Fair? - Asking oneself argumentatively whether anyone said that life should be just or fair is a way to admit defeat without consideration to the proven fact that any situation, no matter how dire it might seem, can be turned around.

The Jewels That Always Were There - Practically speaking, you can find all sorts of gems and valuables all around the world thanks to the monumental changes that took place over hundreds of millions of years. Of course, if what you are looking for is just to make some quick money, you would be better off playing in a casino, but with a little patience and knowledge, you can find gems and treasures almost anywhere.

Cliché: Nothing Will Happen To Me - This cliché is particularly common among lovers of extreme sports and other risky activities; these individuals generally fall prey of their reckless self-confidence and, of course, end up badly bruised.

Exobiology's Roulette - It is a statistical fact that as the number of iterations of any probable event increase, odds tend to become something more like certainty than anything else; so, in an universe that were really infinite there would be no odds but certain things, and assuming that ours is just that, then in order to expand our knowledge and understanding about it we should start to assume that some things, like the probability of life outside Earth, should be considered as a fact.

The Casino Of Meteorology And Life On Earth - If you think about thunder and thunderstorms, far from seeing them as threatening, you should see that they are beneficial and luck bringers; without them, life on Earth would have never appeared or developed.

Archyteuthis, The Giant Squid - Luck never ceases to be luck, but depending on our attitude, we will determine it to a great extent, and how we will take advantage - or not - of what luck brings, is indeed nothing random. If we deny any possibility of having luck right from the beginning, then of course, nothing will happened and if it does, we will remain blinded to it and let it pass by.

Treasures That You can Find - Aside from playing at a casino, inheriting a fortune from a rich uncle, or something like that you can make good money if you find the fossil of a primitive bird.

La moraleja de los coleacantos y ornitorríncos - Ganar premios, la lotería, o en un juego de azar, hallar oro o piedras preciosas, o animales exóticos y desconocidos son cosas que muchas veces creemos más mitos que aunque sea, aventuras en el sentido más puro de la vida real.

The Nature Of Gambling Is The Nature Of Humans - Within the context of our society many different forms of betting, gambling, bidding and winning prizes have evolved over time.

- Games and tournaments form part of every human culture; in all times and places, humans tend to play.

The Riches Hidden In The Interior Of Our Planet - It is interesting to speculate about how much we could probably win by gambling, but at the same time we are standing in a world full of riches that we are perhaps unable to discern; within the arcane world of those interested in geology and all its related sciences, there are some more or less serious hypotheses related to that.

Forever Dice - One of the things that was believed to be the cause of the Black Death was sin in all its forms; and one of the sins was of course, gambling, especially dice games of various forms, which were commonplace in crowded streets and dark corners of every kind.

Travel, casinos and other purposes - Sometimes, travelling may not be the best option after all.

We Will Die Tomorrow, We Survived Yesterday, So Let's Have Fun! - The passion for games of all sorts could have finally disappeared after so many years of medieval doctrines of religious devotion; nevertheless, the Black Death came and revived all what priests have fought against in this regard, and soon they found themselves in need of making good use of betting money in order to assure the survival of society itself.

Bet Till You Drop... Some People Really Meant It - Clippers going from China to the UK competed ferociously against each other, and when steamers were finally ready for oceanic travel, people began betting on them too!

Sometimes You May Hit an Empty Jackpot - Sometimes the most coveted things prove useless once people get them, either because the really worthwhile thing about coveting something was the desire itself, but not the object; and sometimes the problem lies in the fact that people believe untrue things about what they covet and want.

In-Flight Entertainment Or The Hell Of Boredom - The next time you go out to fly, even if it is not in places like Scandinavia, Patagonia or Kamchatka, think in advance and save yourself from the hell of boredom if you have to land in the middle of nowhere.

Gambling and Charity - Let's face it: many people will not spend in books and education what they throw away with the dice; so instead of having that money really thrown away, let's use it to buy books.

About Leaders, Casinos and American Football - One of the things that any leader should avoid is the belief that problems would turn to solve themselves automatically; this 'Casino Mentality' puts any organisation at the mercy of fortune and this makes impossible any sensible planning.

The Story Of Rype - Life has some surprises in store for the most unlikely individuals, and as Borges would have it in his Lottery of Babylon, you get the prizes that come to you, and you can't refuse them, good or bad as they might be; one day you may be living a splendid childhood, and the next one, you may watch everyone around you pass away; you may survive as a savage, and then become a millionaire.
