    I hate to quibble, but actually, there is a difference.  It crops up when you want to buy only two (or three) of the item.

    There's a story behind the posting of this sign, I'm sure.  I have no idea what it is, but I'd dearly love to hear it.

    For the record, you really should switch your choice to the other door.  You really do then have a 2/3 chance of winning the prize.

Monday Mathday

    Once upon a long time ago (early grade school IIRC) my sister and I were both given IQ tests.  I have no idea what either of us scored on it, but I do remember discussing one particular question with her afterward.

    We were given five words - Wrist, Finger, Elbow Shoulder, Palm - and told to arrange them in order.   I put Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist Palm, Finger (or the reverse, perhaps).  My sister put them in alphabetical order.

    I always figured that I got a higher score on that particular question, because the IQ peeps were looking to see if we recognized the relation between all five words.  But really, what is wrong with alphabetizing them instead?

    And when you get right down to it, "8" is more curly than "6".

Math Wednesday

    Or LOTR Wednesday.  Your choice.

    Oh man, how did those "Order of Operations" go.  Let's see now.  Was it "X before Y, except after Z"?  No, that's not it.

The sky is falling...

    WTF?!  Some people are actually worried about (debris from) the satellite hitting them tonight?  Peeps, we need to talk about statistical odds.  It's why I don't play the lottery.
