Is randomness really a word?

Is something NOT random if its odds are not 50-50?

What if they are 51-49? Does that mean it isn't random?

Are there better uses for our time than studying the randomness (or lack thereof) of a coin flip?

Were people not aware that a coin (assuming the odds at 50-50) can still land heads up every single time? Isn't that why odds are probability instead of fact?

Did we not already know that the force applied would affect the outcome of the flip?

Were we not previously aware that a coin flipped does not rotate with perfect accuracy and, in fact, sometimes spins and turns out of control? And if so, didn't we already assume that affected the outcome?

Was this a fairly stupid article, dressed up in the trappings of interesting?

Does stating my opinions in the form of questions, in actuality, make this far more interesting than it truly deserves to be?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah... I told you, you crack me up!  dismh8 is the only person on Mindsay that I know of who could sincerely and extemporaneously delve into the myriad answers to your query!  I know you're at work...you obviously don't have enough to do today.  That man, the excellent attentive father, needs to show up today.  Did he look anything like CK...maybe he's a single dad... think about that for while.......hummmm

Re: Random Questions On Randomness
Suprisingly, I was actually pretty busy today. It was just in strange fits and starts. So I managed to squeeze in not one, not two, but three blogs.

Yeesh, no wonder you thought it was slow here.

But the attentive father is not present. He did NOT look like CK (who does, really?) but I did give a moments (okay, several) thought to him walking into my library.

It went like this:  "gasp, thump". And I'm on the floor.

Re: Random Questions On Randomness
EEEYIKES!  I just reread what I wrote and saw how it read to you. 

Let me clarify. 

"He did NOT look like CK (who does, really?) but I did give a moments (okay, several) thought to him walking into my library."  

Should have read:  He did NOT look like CK (who does, really?) but since he's on my brain I am going to give a moments thought (okay, several) to the possibility of CK walking in to my library.

It went like this: "gasp, thump". And I'm on the floor.

Better now?

And since you asked, Nope, not a Leo. Pisces. 

What does that tell you?

...it tells me that there's no end to just how carayzeeeeh we can get!!!  There's and old saying, "still waters run deep."  I can tell by your new pic that you've been thinking about taking a trip to the surface and having a look around!

 

I get along swimmingly with Pisces!

Tee-hee....I am delighted to hear that it is astrologically predetermined that we'll get along. 

Which are you?
