Of course then if he sees you 10 times, say, you would have to drop it a 100 times so that the odds become 1 again.<BR/>Clearly that does not work either.<BR/>On a related note, I have dropped my iPOD about 15 times, literally, on the apt floor, on asphalt, on concrete, and damn it that sucker is still going.

Except today, mom found some kind of obviously falsified certificate that claims I finished Junior High.<BR/><BR/>I think the key here is to understand that "bad" odds are not negative - they are just very small (ie., "one in a million", "three out of seven", etc.).<BR/><BR/>Also, you forgot to take into account guilt vectors caused by blogging your wishlist to the Internet!<BR/><BR/>It's hard to distill a formula of this complexity.
