I think my problem is that my lunch options are few and none sound appealing today.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh.
Well, glad to hear that you're not trapped in a bear trap....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Moving to Chicago could solve that.

What is even happening?

I hear ya. I ended up having a piece of bread and peanut butter. I have to grocery shop, but have no motivation, and was too hungry to endure the time it would have taken to go get something decent.

Coding and Sleeping
I had a burrito for lunch.
You know, the idea of a four door Jeep just sounded odd (a Jeep Jeep, the kind where you can take off the doors), but it looks like a nice piece.
Nothing that I would ever actually buy though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
very little happens on that show that's not internally driven
I'm blanking on possibilities here, but what other internal drivers do they use that aren't dishonesty?

I hope so. Unfortunately, not moving to Chicago today.
I went out and got lunch from one of the usual places. Got rained on. And now I'm locked out of my timesheet for the third time this week. t sigh

I'm starving and I don't know what to eat.
Bacon!

I received an email tonight describing a math problem being prepared for a journal geared towards ‘fun’ math problems for undergrads by Dr. Dan Canada & Dave Goering. I wonder how long it will take the masses to answer it correctly:
There are 100 Snakes and 100 Passengers on the Plane. Each Snake can bite One Passenger (at random). What is the Probability that a Given Passenger - the Target - Does not get bit?
The authors have set up a webpage for the question, that includes the solution (but don’t look, it’s cheating), as well as this harder version of the question:
There are n Snakes on the Plane. There are k Passengers on the Plane. Each Snake will Bite One Passenger at Random. What is the Probability that The Target, Mr. X, does not get bit?
How does the probability compare for different values of n and k?
The authors say it’s not obvious to solve… and I’m not going to try. But you will. Please show your work (and don’t look at the answers… you’re smarter than that).
eta: I'ma' gonna say the first one is approx 36.6%. (I'm pretty sure I did the calculation right.)
