The NYTimes explanation really cleared it all up for me!
Do we assume that no one ever chooses the door with the car behind it on the first try?
That's the only time when switching makes you lose -- that's the 1/3.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My favorite part of those sketches was the one Sting was on....

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.

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

A while ago I did an extensive online search for the fake-commercial for "Battle-cats." Nope. Nowhere. I found some old links, but every site had taken the video down.
I guess at some point stuff like that will come out on DVD; until then, we're out of luck.
