Actually, you can figure out when it would "pay" to play if you use a decision tree. If you figure that when you play the lottery, one of two things will definitely happen, either you will win, or you will lose. The probability you will win if the odds are 1 in 45,000,000 is, 1/45,000,000 (whatever that percentage is). The prob you will lose is 1-(1/45,000,000). If you spend a dollar on a ticket and lose, then the payoff for that event is $1.00 *(1-1/45,000,000), or approximately -$1.00. If you win, the payoff for that event is the amount of the lottery times 1/45,000,000. The total payout then is the amount you lose added to the amount you win. As long as that is a negative number, you shouldn't play. Thus if the odds are 1 in 45,000,000, you shouldn't play until the prize is over $45M. And then, you can only play $1.00 or you'd be a sucker. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

The first time I heard it, was in college and was being sung by the Rugby club. Their version went, He wasn't born beautiful, he wasn't born at all! He's no good for anything, he's only got one ball! Him, Him, yadda yadda yadda... They had more drinking songs then I have ever heard (Never let your girlfriend by the "Alouette Girl" btw). Possible carryover from there. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I lived near Bowie when they started up a homebrew club. We finally settled on the name Maryland Ale and Lager Technicians (MALT). The first choice, though, was Brewers Of Old Bowie Society (BOOBS). If there had been more skydivers in the club... Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

French kissing, Kraft French dressing, French cut underwear,... How would Lance win his fourth Tour de France in a row? This presents unprecendented cultural problems. Maybe the French would be willing to build a huge Maginot ceiling to keep the meteor out. So many berets, so little time. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

"The judge from Key West called it a flaming meeker, but I couldn't find it in the pool anywhere!" Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

So exactly to what is the "Hickley Hottie" in the front row with the yellow shirt pointing? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Tough break. I feel for you. Remember the time I got run off the road by a minivan while I was riding a bicycle. The only thing I saw was a MADD bumper sticker as the lady drove away. Never stopped. I think USAA has a rental car option for their policies that doesn't add that much ($15 - $25/6 months?) and covers the rental car in case of a mishap. Might want to consider that. Or not. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

If I read the attachment correctly, this might actually work. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Yeah, but if you want a good chain Italian restaurant, try Beppo's. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Didn't realize this was the new Rufus Sewell and Heino Ferch movie. Where have those boys been? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Go naked wearing rollerblades: You're a pull toy. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

"What's your major?" "English" "Why don't you come up sometime and help me straighten out my Longfellow." Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I don't freefly much, but I think having active skydivers who still love the sport are critical for continued growth and improvement. I'll vote for you and good luck. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

This article from the British newspaper of the year actually brought a tear to my eye. I may go home tonight and drink a warm beer while eating a really well boiled supper. You guys rock. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Must have been freeflying. Some of that stuff scares me and I just see the videos. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Plan to visit PA this summer to see the 'Rents. Hope to visit Skydive PA if that is the one in Grove City. Those pix bring back some fond memories, but how do you feel about Western PA in February? Made me move. Don't want to infer anything, but a couple of those kids look like they might be adopted. Just a guess. Aloha. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Okay, what prompted you to run? What do you think most needs changed in the USPA? What is the first thing you will attack? Will you attend all the BOD meetings? What committees would you petition to get on? And, oh yeah, is Colgate Ivy League? Just wondered. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Got to go with Kris on this one, put down the wine and step away from the Sade. Note the split, Michelle and Moody both said it was okay to do that stuff and Kris and Sudsy said it wasn't, unless you were using it to try and score. Monday night in Texas? Even if you hate it, there has got to be a bar with beer and Monday Night Football. Needs some attention? Cheer for the other team. There's always another team. What gives Sade the right to pronounce her name like that anyway? There is no "r" in Sade. We don't say the Marquis de "Sharday". David "Shparday" Spade. It's just not right, dude. Mahalo. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Cat got shot? Haven't seen it yet, but it sounds really good. If Blockbuster has it, it's a shot cat weekend. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

I Lost My Wife and It Happened In the Frozen Food Section

The man approached the very beautiful woman in the large supermarket and said, "I've lost my wife here in the supermarket, I can't find her anywhere. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?" The woman looked puzzled. "Why talk to me?" she asked. "Because every time I talk to a woman with tits like yours, my wife appears out of nowhere!" Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
"You can't do the team if you're doing the team." Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

Towels Men have two towels: a dry one and a wet one. Tomorrow, the wet one will be dry and the dry one will be wet. Women have 412 towels, and for god's sakes don't use the good ones...ever. Going to Bed Women "get ready" to go to bed. Men go to bed. Men get ready for a prize fight or other equally memorable event. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

What about the question that is asked at 4:00 PM on a Friday afternoon? You "definatly" compensate for posting too much by not using a spell checker enough. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

It took me about 0.0002977 fortnights to figure out you use a comma where we use a period in large numbers. Congrats on your jump. Ain't it sweet? Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. -
Had a friend recommend it to us with the caveat that it was, "really good except for all that pre-marital sex stuff". Yes, people like that still exist. Her other two favorite movies of the year were "Lilo and Stitch" and "Shrek". See a pattern? Of course, I didn't explain to her that if you don't intend to get married, it isn't actually pre-marital sex. Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
