Losing that roll was 1 in a 1.000.000

I watched a film called "Another Earth" a couple of months ago. So...we just need to find Another Earth where things are different.

odds are lots of people who saw that thought the same thing,,, right?
no? oh... well, I've been told my brain's a scary place, maybe they're right, lol

At this point, it does seem as though making this one better is too much of a challenge.

Thus, the randomisation of dice or anything is pre-ordained by everything that ever happened before it.

Or not.

Well, youve played 4000 games. Thats quite a bit. If you figure out how many dice you've thrown, and how many times you actually lost 20v4, you could figure out how far past the statistical odds it would be, but otherwise, just guessing is dangerous business, and you could likely have not last as many 20v4 attacks, as one might expect.

Try to imagine how it is for people that don't speak English as their native toung. How would you feel if you would walk in a bar in the Netherlands, you try in your best dutch to have a conversation and order a ''beer.'' For a second the bartender thinks you mean a ''bear'' because you pronounced it wrong. Now, instead of helping you, all he does is laughing, he doessnt do or say anything else, all he does is laugh you in the face, and you don't even know why till somebody else explaines you.

That's what I've been to here right now, and it destroyed all my self esteem and pride that I had in my control over the English language...

Now get me a bear !

By the bye, Robinette is beginning to like this frankiebee fellow,
even though he does live somewhat close to Belgium, lol...

So lets ALL have one of those beer's frankie mentioned,
and celebrate that the weekend is finally here...

which incidentally is very deserved for me as I have worked 12 days straight... long days I might add...

I actually felt a pang of guilt posting that image coz I thought perhaps I should have waited for you (Nette) to respond first. You never fail to come up with the most apt pics which always amuse. Thing is, when I saw this one, I just couldn't resist. Sowwy.

man that is one cute bear. I've become a huge fan of bears this past year. Fast becoming my fave creature (after Denise).

but wouldn't we just come to the same conclusion as they do in the film?
