EDIT I misread. The analysis is not talking about a single person, therefore the numers are correct, there is a 51% chance of the lotto being won sequentially. Individually, you'd have to do something like I did. You might make different assumptions. Yes, but how did you get 51% from? What is the p...

Not any one person winning twice, ANYONE from Ontario winning twice.

Like Person A, who lives in Ontario, and Person B, who also lives in Ontario.

.. however, who in the world goes out to buy another lottery ticket after winning millions?

You never know... some people are pretty crazy.

From the creationism page What are the odds of winning twice in a row? Well, it's pretty damned ugly, but of course, you already knew that :) The number of possible combinations for this week's draw is 14 million. For every one of those combinations, there are 14 million possible combinations for ne...

I nominate him for a Darwin Award. Why, because he had an ear infection that prevented him hearing the tannoy, or because he doens't have a medical education? I retract my nomination. After reading the Darwin Award site again, I realized that they are supposed to be funny stories about people killi...

Grandpa Simpson: "This scam was in The Sting 2... so nobody knows about it."

I nominate him for a Darwin Award.

Don't you think a death-threat was a little extreme, even if he couldn't figure out that you were saying "no"? Agreed, that was going a bit far, but it's not like the guy could do a whole lot with it. He's not going to say "Hey cops, this guy threatened to kill me!"... who are t...

I have the solution to this:

Gor is to Feminazism as matter is to antimatter.

Perfect!

I can barely remember a TOS episode where there was some alien and Spock was saying something about numbers of torpedos. It was like 300 or something? I'm just guessing.

I have observed that when genetic engineering is mentioned, everybody starts spinning horror stories, doomsday scenarios, nightmare dark future visions based on sci-fi films, etc. But has anyone considered asking what will happen if we DON'T develop genetic engineering? Consider: our species, like ...

What is WITH the lisp? I met like two gay people, period, and don't really "know" any of them. But nobody I know knows any "lispy" people. When I hear it on TV it's so freaking annoying. I think 50% of my personal homophobia stems from that. 30% is from the horrendous fruity clot...

Maybe because the majority of the population is so stupid, the girls have to bait them appropriately? Or look at it this way. "Hot + Intelligent = Score" --- If you think otherwise, I'd think you're gay. "Hot + Dumb = Still OK" --- 99.9999% of all men "Ugly + Intelligent = ?...

The number of people affiliated with a religion my indeed be rising, but the percentage of the congregation who don't give a fuck about anything except for going to church once a week is also rising. Okay, so we have extreme fundies getting dumber. (Yeah, like this is gonna change.) We have average ...

Kristanna Loken... she was in that one VOY episode where Harry thinks he's an alien.

But from the list, Kira. (Evil, or Holo-Spy Kira)

Alternate mention not on the list: Leeta.

Deal with pesky Jedi by training/hiring Sith bodyguards.

Can't remember the page, but I remember the quote: "Hyperspace sips fuel, while sublight guzzles it" something like that. It was something Corran Horn was saying on the first "real" mission in the book. But then again in "Bacta War" some guy got stuck on some planet be...

According to Yahoo Maps, it's about 10 km their way; 6 - 6.5 km the straight way... you theoretically could've made it. http://imgi.maps.yahoo.com/overviewmap?OVMAPData=1cxQYOR32XX_sjjOQjX.O0df4bU4aB9x7g_wil2FtaOkwzK8ERz8q18zAXLe5BoH2WTTc8y1p8fwSMtHTaX5gbsKP.EZ0vM9wn0l.CWIUEoASTyiMZmvFZuJLI5Vow--&am...

50/30 isn't so bad.

You'll find the "golden BB" theory to be as true to speeding tickets as it is to AAA.

I've gotten 2 tickets, one for 35 in 30, and the other for 47 in 40.
You'll never get busted for the huge 80-100+ speeds...

This is the worst (well, lamest) creationist tactic.
