Oh wow... it just randomly started raining 2 minutes ago. My dog came in and she was SOAKED. Now she's running around the house like her tail's on fire. I better go dry her off. And that is my daily random comment.
Cute picture by the way!

We played Mafia in Social Studies but it was Red Scare themed. I was a communist spy and ended up winning the game(was not arrested by FBI or the USA citizens). And because of that, USA "became" a communist nation. Sorry guys.
edit: And it was pretty funny considering my great great great great uncle by marriage is Karl Marx. I was perfect for the role lol.

Re: Your Daily Random Comment
The planets align in a straight line once every five thousand years with the next time being in December 2012 (when the Mayan long calender ends at the time in which the world is supposedly going to end). That would mean that the probability is 1 if it is for all time (or an infinite amount), 0.0002 for any time during 1 year, 0.002 for any time during a decade, 0.02 for any time during a century, 0.2 for any time during a millennium, about 0.0000167 for any time during a month, and 0.000004167 for any time during a week.2win wrote:Does anyone know the chances of all the planets in our solar system being lined up in a straight line?
Edit: The probability is 0.000000595 for any time during a day, 0.000000024 for any time during an hour, 0.00000024 for any time during a decahour, 0.0000024 for any time during a hectohour, 0.000024 for any time during a kilohour, 0.024 for any time during a megahour, and 24 for any time during a gigahour. On a different topic, I wonder how many people here know metric notation?
