Allowing myself now to embrace my Inner Obsessive, I wonder if a goat should be a 'u' or a 'q'. I would have thought the latter.

I just laughed out loud in real life. E.

Also, I think q is more appropriate. q tends to be more insulting.

Today's haiku (see two comics previous for why):

Let's Make a Deal:
Probability is hard.
The RNG is harder.

Only rating it good because Monty Hall would have shown you what you lost, too......I think there was another goat behind the other doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.

Hm... I wonder what glyph a car would have...

Either ' or (, most likely. Maybe , or #.

But I think that, rather than a car, he would have gotten a warhorse.

Also, I hate the Monty Hall problem.

I meant to have \ as one of those symbol suggestions. I forgot you have to escape it with another \.

I don't care what people say about probability, but you have a 50% chance to do or win anything. Let me explain why: You either do or you don't. Just because don't happens more often doesn't mean it's more likely to happen.
