The last sentence was from a rom com I think had Paul Rudd in it. The film was forgettable so I don't remember its title.

And also released on the Series 8 VHS.

In the early 1990s my neighbours had a game called Hong Kong Phooey for the Atari. It was about a dog in a karate kit and you had to collect jars of jam. For years I had no idea there was a cartoon of the same name.

Thanks for letting me know there's a new The Damned album. From a random guy on the internet.

Your Friend the Hypergeometric Distribution There’s a tool that all game designers should be aware of, which helps you determine the probability of certain things happening.

Since there are 8 card types I think you would multiply the answer from the above formula by 8.

I think the formula is called the binomial coefficient:
n! / (k! (n - k)!)

i.e. 80! / (8! x 72!)
In school they taught us how to use this formula to prove the odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 13.98 million.

For that example the probability of drawing the same card 8 times is: (7/79) x (6/78) x (5/77) x (4/76) x (3/75) x (2/74) x (1/73).

Some have call centres in the same country as you. One company kept me on hold for over an hour then refused to give me a courtesy car whereas another answered in minutes.

I mean some insurance companies provide better service than others.

Car insurance is nationalised in British Columbia, Canada. My relatives there say the service is awful. You can't switch to a better provider. The free market for car insurance in the UK is a good thing.

This was my fess. I actually did get them to include him on the prayer dedication list at the Buddhist temple I attend.

This was my fess. Ironically I'm a practising Buddhist. I did indeed get them to mention her husband on the prayer dedication list at the temple I attend.

I used to have shoulder length hair and a beard. People started calling me Jesus. One time a Big Issue seller said "you look like Jesus. My husband is dying. Will you pray for him?" I didn't know what to do so I said "yes, I will pray for him."

On University Challenge I hate it when the camera shows the two teams side-by-side. It kills the illusion that one team is above the other.

I think it's a reference to his threat to sue the BBC for $1 billion.

On 20 November 2001 (24 years ago today) an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer aired, titled "Smashed". In this episode Andrew tells Spike that he's seen every episode of Doctor Who but not Red Dwarf "because it's not out yet on DVD". #RedDwarf #OnThisDay

I actually remember that!
P.S. Keep up the good work. I love these posts.

I heard Ringo Starr's voice when I read that.

22.00 FILM: FIGHT CLUB

12.15 FOOTBALL UNFOCUSED The listing is blurred. How funny is that eh? HA HA HA HA? I mean, what a clever idea. OK, maybe not that funny, but still, it's Monday and we're very tired.

The philosopher David Hulme said it was in "Of the Standard of Taste."

My office started putting deodorant, shaving foam and razors in both male and female toilets. They sent a memo around saying they were for anybody to use. I have no idea if it was directed at someone in particular (let's hope it wasn't directed at me).

Wasn't that a French film called Amelie?

Mine does.

In that gif somebody's playing Revenge of Shinobi without the infinite ammo cheat. Surely nobody does that?!

There's nothing worse than having a
Cranberries song stuck in your heeeeeeead, in your heeeeeeead, in your head, in your head, in your head in your hea, hea, hea, head...

Every motorway service station should have a 5-a-side football pitch. The score should be continuous throughout the day with travellers swapping in and out via infinite subs.

I think I remember that from Sonic The Comic. The comic included stories about Sonic, Wonderboy and Streets of Rage too.
