Yeah I know I'm well above your level of understanding, thanks for noticing.

Hey, at least 10% of my posts in the physics thread are coming from my brain, not my ass.

Well, I say brain, but really I mean spliff.

It's probably easier to point out when I'm not talking shit.

You take me too literally.

I pull everything out of my ass, what's new?

The establishment has only existed for a year? That's new.

I never said probable. I said it would be close.

Anything isn't possible though. That's a stupid thing people say. Try eating Jupiter then shit out a star.

I know how betting works. The odds reflect the amount of money being staked on different outcomes. If the odds were 5:1, this implies that more than 4x the amount of money wagered was being placed on...
