Hong Kong police arrested 115 men for illegally gambling on insect fights on Sunday in the same building that housed a cricket lovers' association.
  • It's like Eve in Eden. It would be perfectly legal to bet on insect fights in any other building, but no-o-o-o-o, they have to go and take on the all-powerful cricket-lovers lobby.
  • Police seized a small amount of money and 300 crickets with a street value of $2.15.
  • I wasn't kidding about the small amount of money. The 115 guys had $1025 between them, averaging a whopping nine bucks each. It's a big-time arrest for Hong Kong law enforcement.
