Israelis find an odd way of coping with suicide bombings: "According to Maa'riv there is an illegal gambling going on about where is the next terror attack will happen. There are different odds for different areas. A terror attack on the Azrieli skyscrapers will earn the gambler 1500 times his bet and in Eilat times 1700. the more usual places like Jerusalem earn the gambler only 150 times his bet. The minimum bet is 10 shekels (two dollars) and there are strict definitions about the rules and about what will be considered as a terror attack." (courtesy of Gil Shterzer)
