lulz

So, just a quick gem from my stats homework - someone, in a test of Murphy's Law, dropped almost ten thousand pieces of buttered toast and recorded which side it landed on. Statistics say that Murphy was right, and toast does land buttered side down more often (62.11% of the time)

I was going to share this with gchat last night, but then I remembered I set parental controls to turn off at midnight so I don't stay up all night playing >.>

I wonder if that has anything to do with the weight of the butter? lol.

Are you coming back to wormtown any time? I want to see you.

That was my thought XD That buttering one side changes the center of gravity of the toast.

Most likely for Christmas - exam schedule was just posted, so I need to phone home and work out travel plans.
