what? how much is gas now? it was 99.9 last time i checked.

so, I believe the universe has once again proven its infinite powers... just when I needed gasoline the most (aka the idiot light went on and I needed to be somewhere), the price increased... and since I have purchased said gasoline, look at where the price has gone.

needless to say, I am none too pleased. Although, if the universe seeks to thwart me merely through means of increasing gasoline prices, I'm okay with that. I'd rather have that be my problem than, oh, say... doors constantly slamming into my face, or falling down every third flight of stairs I walk on.or any other number of inconveniences and/or threats to my safety.

still, if you want to get less expensive gas, maybe you ought to make sure my tank's still half full, otherwise you might be in for a swift kick to your wallet when you reach the pump. I swear this is the 6th time it's happened to me.

Well, then you can go fuck yourself. (Hmm... I guess that only makes sense if you know what he was trying to post. Oh well.)


Lab-grown bladders 'a milestone':

US scientists have successfully implanted bladders grown in the lab from patients' own cells into people with bladder disease.
...
They took a bladder biopsy from each patient and isolated muscle cells and special bladder cells called urothelial cells, which they grew in the lab.

The cells were then placed onto a specially designed bladder-shaped scaffold and left to grow for seven to eight weeks.
...
The researchers are now working to grow 20 different tissues and organs in the lab, including blood vessels and hearts.

yeah, I can.

If I delete a broken post that no one attached their name to, can anyone complain?

Some of you may know the Monty Hall/Let's Make a Deal probability problem (it was mentioned in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time). If not, here's the story:

You are presented with three identical doors. Behind one of them is a car and behind the other two are goats. You want the car. Monty Hall tells you to choose one of the doors. Regardless of which door you choose, at least one of the two remaining doors will have a goat behind it. Monty Hall, who knows where the car is, then opens one of the doors that has a goat behind it. He then gives you the option of either sticking with the first door you chose, or switching your choice to the other unopened door.

Question: What should you do? Should you stay where you are? Switch? Does it make a difference?

Suppose you had 100 doors. The doors conceal one car and 99 goats. You choose door number one. Monty Hall then opens 98 goat-bearing doors.

ah yes, the infamous yellow river.
