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!

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?

My favorite part of those sketches was the one Sting was on....

it was rob schneider in that skit - maybe searchunder his name or search on the SNL webpage.

White House Advisor: AIG Deserves 'Nobel Prize For Evil'

Tomorrow, they will claim that Limbaugh has sharks with friggin' lasers attached to their heads.

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?

Well, um, that's sort of the thing I did that needs an explanation. I can't find it on the SNL site at all-- there seems to be no way to search, and Rob Schneider doesn't have a quick thing and I think I have looked through all the 80's and 90's videos looking for it. It is so weird.

Now I'm earwormed with "Chopping Broccoli".

I do believe that Monty Hall has stated that he doesn't comprehend the Monty Hall Scenario himself.
