I think the most I've spent on dice was 25 on set of steel ones for my boyfriend.  Probably wouldn't spend that much on myself, though.

So since you bought him thouse, do you ever comment on his "big brass dice"???? :o

Yea, between my brothers and friends, we had a good sized bean-bag-chair worth of dice.

That's bigger than any dice i've got.

the biggest ones I have are the size of silver dollars.

anyways, the longest dice to roll is always the D100

"Roll Percentile"
(Gingling sounds)
"NOOO! Not the golf-ball 100! Just use two tens!"
"Too late, I already dropped it."
"Well Pick it up."
"No, it'll jinx it. i think it's going to be good."
"Crap. I'm going to go make a samwich. if it stops before I get back I'll know you just grabbed it and put it on the 98."

lol, got one of those, too.  Hey, did  you know you can roll for time of day?  Take a d10 and d6 for minutes, a d12 for hours, and an even/odd or high/low for a.m./p.m.

It's MCI.  Now, those letters are also Roman numerals adding up to 1101.  Then, if you look at the ones and zeros of 1101 as binary numbers, it comes to 13.

I was bored when I came up with that one.

LOL point taken.

If you enjoy numbers like that though, and you've got some free time, you should take up hacking.

it's a hobby that can pay for it's self!

Hacking has nothing to do with 'fastness'
it's all about paitence.

you have to just sit, and look.

contrary to popular belief, typing over 100 wpm and being able to have the fastest computer on the trix' are not prerequisets for hacking.

The core of hacking, is getting computers to let you in.
once you are in, all the hard work, is done on their end.

mostly, you just sit there, looking for an opening.
don't have to be fast to do that. just need free time.
