I don't think 1/2 ever enters into it, Rick. The chances are weighted toward picking the wrong door to begin with. When the other losing doors are revealed, the chances are that the remaining door is the winner.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG. I have just only now just discovered that Fox sucks.
OK. Six months ago, Biden said this:
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that’s why John McCain could say with a straight face as recently as this morning and this is a quote, “the fundamentals of the economy are strong.” That’s what John said. He says that “We’ve made great progress economically in the Bush years.”
And now Fox is quoting Biden saying "the fundamentals of the economy are strong," and they're claiming he just said this.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Husband's on phone with technical support for our internet connection. He has already been disconnected once. I hate the cable company so much.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Do we assume that no one ever chooses the door with the car behind it on the first try?
Also, I cannot find the Saturday Night Live Sketch of the "Making Copies" thing on-line at all-- am I crazy. I need to show a young cow-orker so he doesn't think I am making it up!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The NYTimes explanation really cleared it all up for me!

That's the only time when switching makes you lose -- that's the 1/3.

You can't just spend ten minutes going, "Coworker! Coworker-ama! Coworkalama-ding-dong! Makin copies!" and have that work?

Coding and Sleeping
It's hard for me to get too worked up about AIG unless I know the nature of the bonuses and how much of it is just that crazy financial business compensation scheme where your 'bonus' is really expected compensation. An unfortunate compensation scheme once under public scrutiny in any event. Why do they do things that way?
