May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am a zombie. A migrained-for-a-week at-the-ER-again zombie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I'm on it. I believe Jilli has a plan in place for Seattle, but that assumes she hasn't been minionized by Clovis.

Clovis says his zombie army is still offline, so these aren't *our* zombies.

Somebody tell me to stop searching for b&w stripy blazers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I get that, but I don't get why that supports switching your choice from the first door you picked.

That is my question as well. Am going to investigate the interactive version to see if I can figure out the answer.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Interactive version of The Monty Hall Problem.

So the idea is to presume that your first pick will always be a goat. Which should be true 2 out of every 3 times.

I'm sorry, ita.

My fac guy is giving me some boxes, including xerox ones and it turns out he has a moving/handyman business on the side and has moved a lot of my coworkers. I'll definitely get a quote from him.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I don't get why that supports switching your choice from the first door you picked.

It's the fact that Monty Hall will always open a door with a goat behind it, not a random door.

If your strategy is to always switch doors, you will lose only if your initial choice is the door with the car, which is a 33.3 percent chance. In the other two cases (66.7 percent of the time) you will switch to the car and walk away a winner.
