I agree, but I'm busy right now, also, this...
I love you, productionhead, but I can't get it up to argue with you right now.

So that's what a Gay-Webmaster-Admittance-of-Being-Wrong looks like!
I believe what mr productionhead is trying to say is that although every spin of the roulette wheel is independent of the last, he has never heard of 100 consecutive red spins. Nor has he heard of two major commercial airplanes crashing in the same month.
According to that theory, if I'm hit by lightening once, I won't get hit again. And yet:

Oh and regarding roulette:

There is a reason it is a called a logical fallacy.
Now greenleaves, is the story of the gambler and the lightning man going to be repeated with you? The chances are supremely low, especially because the supremely low chance has already happened, and since it happened, for it to happen again, is even more supremely low. That's what we're talking about here.

I once flicked a cigarette butt in the air toward a pile of gravel. I had a hard time believing when I saw it landed on a small rock. Butt to the ground, and the amber in the air, perfectly erect. If I had tried to place it that way, I'd have a hard time. How the hell it landed like that way, on a windy day, after flipping it some distance in the air and with no intention of it landing that way...
Does that count a gay-webmaster-miracle-extremely-unlikely-event-thingy?
Your 3000th post, spent on a discussion of discovering and getting in touch with conflicting feelings of sexual desire. This is the gay webmaster forum indeed.
Now I assume everyone in here is trolling, but anyways...
What some people don't get is that 11 reds in a row are equally unlikely as 10 reds in a row followed by a black.
Same with the plane. Having another plane crash exactly there is equally unlikely as a plane crashing 100m further north or anywhere else (in fact it's a little higher that it will crash there again compared to a random spot because planes don't fly everywhere).
Thinking that another crash won't happen because we just had one is just plain retarded.
Keep trolling my friends.

Let us not forget that major airline failures resonate throughout the reactive airline industry and often cause reassessments of current protocol which vary in their extent and latitudinous effect depending on the nature of the accident, thereby also diminishing the odds of another similar accident occurring in the near future.
