Win a coin toss

Is it possible to win a coin toss on purpose?
A group of people were chosen to test this theory. They chose half the people who wanted to make a coin toss and the other half thought that coin tosses were too unfair. They were given  points to practice winning a coin toss.
1)do the flipping(remember which side it started on, go for a specific amount of flips
2)practice(flip the coin the same everytime, with the same force behind your thumb 3 or 4 flips is ideal)
3)be smart(if you happen to not be the one flipping, just choose the side that facing up on the coin there is a 51% of it landing that way)
it is not guaranteed to win a coin toss but it is more likely if you follow the 3 tips listed in this article.

All you need is Tron

A movie was released, a remake of the movie Tron. The original movie never got this much attention, however, the movie is not doing so well even now. The movie although very futuristic was called a "sci-fi failure." Disney was surprised when this movie didn't do as successful as they wanted  seeing as it was full of new movie technology. The movie was only able to pull in 4.8 million on its opening weekend.

the new renovo R4

Renovo has created a new bike called the R4 and its anything but ordinary. It has two tires, handle bars and brakes as usual. However this creation is made of bamboo and hardwood. The owner of this bike is satisfied with the feel and reduced vibration and bumps but this comes at a price. $2,950 to be exact. He gets a lot of questions and strange looks riding it because it is definately something very different.

I WORK WITH THIS DUDE!
