Carl-E:
The probability of being hit on your birthday is 1/365.24 the probability of being hit in a year.  The same as the probability of being hit on the fourth of July, or last Tuesday, or tomorrow. 

Disclaimer:  The probability actually varies throughout the year as the earth moves through the various meteor showers.  I'm workig with classical probability, as opposed to empirical/experimental probability.  :police:


When's your birthday?  I'll see if I can arrange something for you... :evil:

Boomslang:
I'm just saying that her messing with Momo's head is by a large margin the more probable explanation. I never said it couldn't be genuine- but if we're going to vegas and taking odds, you all know where I'm standing.

Well, the probability of being hit by a meteor LAST TUESDAY is a fixed value of either 0 or 1 depending on if you had been hit by meteor last Tuesday.

RE: Emily
I'm a computer science guy and no one I work with, including me, seems to watch Anime. We're all in our 30-40s though so that might affect the results. The person I know most into Anime (learned Japanese to appreciate it better) was an English major (D&D geek).

The thing is not all compsci folks are GEEKS. And it is geek culture and anime that have high correlation (even if I'm not among those so correlated).

Mothykins:
One thing I know for sure, through all of this:

Geek culture is FUN.
