did you know if there are 23 random people in one room, there is a 50% probability that 2 of them have the same birthday

The chance of anything everywhere is 50%.

Either it will happen or it won't.

are you sure you thought really hard about this?

Yes. 

But you had an equal probability of answering "No", right?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

...because it can't be seen either. 

It's harder to see than lots of things from orbit, too.

Children born in September have a MUCH higher chance of being successful at basketball.


Because their mother's were more likely to be exposed to sunlight in the latter stages of pregnancy, and thus gave birth to bigger babies, which then go on to be taller.. isn'tthat right?

I'm a January baby, 5'5". My brother and sister were both September, he's 6'6" and she's 5'8". :/

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

There is a higher percentage of US population in US prison than there is China's population in Chinese prison.

The USA has more laws that take away freedom than China.
