    If you get attacked by a shark, you'll probably be elected President of the USA and date 12 supermodels :cool: [^]

          I'd also be a billionaire, dating as many supermodels as I'd like!

            I don't know why anyone would be attracted to a super model. It would be like dating a burlap bag full of ax handles.

                "Being selected on The Price is Right: 1 in 36" Not for me. It is a 0 in 36 chance since I will never be there. :) Still, 1 in 36 seems low. It must be of people who are actually in the audience. "President of the US: 1 in 10,000,000"? That seems wrong as well. You have a new President every 4-8 years and the population is 300,000+. I know all aren't eligible but I call fail on these numbers. Most of these numbers don't sound right. Then again, 75% of all statistics are wrong 80% of the time.

                There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

                  Right, most of those numbers are bogus due to other circumstances.

                    These numbers are complete shit. The President one really got me pissed off. The fun part about this. In games like the lottery, scratch offs, poker, etc, you can increase your odds by playing more than once. These are odds per single play so it throws it off; buy 100 mega million tickets (not smart, but still), your odds are now 100 / 135,000,000 which is 1 / 1,350,000. Odds of other things listed are per lifetime, like being president, attacked by shark, being a billionaire, being a pro athlete, you cant increase your number of plays. None of these are comparable. PS, to get proper Presidential odds (as if President was chosen by drawing straws), one must estimate the number of Presidents there will be between your death and your 35th Birthday, to even start. That's not many.

                      What does that mean to someone who has been attacked twice. Oh boy, 24 super models. :-D
