File this under "R" for "Ridiculous"

Y'know, somehow I can picture recent Rott trolls, such as "mikulov" or "JBozo" engaging in this activity; that's how asinine it is.

Spew warning, for what it's worth.

Hong Kong police arrested 115 men for illegally gambling on insect fights on Sunday in the same building that housed a cricket lovers' association, a police spokesman said.

No, you're not misreading that.  "Gambling on insect fights".

Police seized about 300 crickets and $1,025 in cash during the bust, said police spokesman T.K. Ng.

The alleged bug gamblers remained in custody Sunday, but weren't immediately charged, Ng said. Illegal gambling carries a maximum penalty of $1,280 and three months' imprisonment.

The good people of Hong Kong apparently Do Not Have Enough To Do.

MERLIN:  "'Ay, Looie!  Gimme $100 on da Joon bug t' go down in da sixth...'"

Mheh.
