There are 100 guns on a table, 1 loaded. For 1 million dollars, would you pick one up at random, put it to your head and pull the trigger?

Better yet, if you picked one, & then they proceeded to dry fire 98 of them, should you stick with your first choice, or switch to the final gun?

I know I have the worst luck of any human being on the face of the planet. I wouldn't do it for a million dollars until I turned 50. It all goes downhill after you turn 50. Well that's the way it looks in my family.

Statistically I would do it. Would I actually have the nuts to do it? Who knows...but if you told me statistically I have a 1/100 chance of dying if I want $1,000,000 then yes I think I would do it. 1/10 not a chance...

Depends upon the caliber. If it was a .22, hell ya I'd do it. Shotgun or or a .45, not a chance :)

I've seen several people walk away after taking a .22 to the head.

Just look at Joey Butafueco's (spelling?) wife :D

or better yet put the 99 people who agreed in a room and everyone get's a gun if no bullet you get a million :) it would probably get some ratings. Who want's to be a millionaire and live.

To all the people who voted NO, you probably have better odds in this scenario than the real life odds of leaving your house every day. You just do it without thinking.

If people had a 1/100 chance of dying every day, the human race wouldn't last very long.

What do you think the real odds are of dying on any given day? Or how many people on earth, divided by how many die every day.

How about this. You're stuck in a room with Sadaam Hussein, Charles Manson, and Kenny G. You have 1 gun and 2 bullets, what do you do.



































Shoot Kenny G twice, just in case.
