Most people radically underestimaterise the odds of things happening. They say things li

ke "Oh, that's a million to one shot," and mean that it is pretty unlikely. What they're doing there is massively failing to appreciate the sheer number of things that happen every day. Million to one shots happen all the time.

"Oh look a potato that looks like Our Lord Jeebus Christmas! Million to one shot that!". Just have a think for a minute about the number of potatoes out there, you pituitary retard, and reexamine your estimate of the odds. And that's without even taking our specieses evolutionarily acquired predisposition to seeing shapes that resemble faces in random objects.

People eh? Fucking idiots most of them.
