Only if the Colts drive Dungy away first, like the Dolphins did to (please rise) Don Shula. Thank you. You may be seated. I don't know who the heck the Dolphins might beat this year. If they can't beat the Bills after their bye, they might go 0-16. (For some reason, the one team that the...

The Pats have played eight games, the Colts have played seven. The Patriots have averaged 41.4 points a game, which is high, although I do consider that there is piling on in there, especially in the games against the Bills, Redskins, and Cowboys. The Colts have averaged 32 points a game. The...

I hadn't checked to see that you were posting from Indy. Enjoy the view from the the top as long as you've got it! Peyton Manning is an excellent quarterback, but I think the best thing the Colts have done to set up their current success was to hire Tony Dungy. I'm pretty sure that this...

Ya beat me to the punch; I was looking stuff up. I'd take my hat off to ya, but I'm already wringing it in my hands, saying, "Woe for poor Dolphins!"

What, it's not possible that it can be both? a) I'm a Dolphins fan, and I have been for a long time. I've hated the Patriots with a white-hot passion since December 12th, 1982 (The Snowplow Incident). b) Look at who each team has played Pats: Cowboys, Redskins, Chargers, Browns, Bills...

I'm still grateful for Hale-Bopp and Hyuakutake; before that, I was still taking &^$ for Halley's Comet in '86, like it was *my* fault. :D

Here is a star map set up for southern Minnesota, at about six o'clock in the morning. This will be a little bit different for Minnesota than Saettle, but only by a couple of degrees. I have marked the comet's position with a circle with a cross in it. It will be about as bright as the star...

It might also mean that alignment is something that is done a bit later, after the character's actions have shown herself to be NG.

To paraphrase an old Bloom County strip, it's going to be hard to give the media the benefit of the doubt. I thought about postulating that this would make us more likely to be blown up, but realized that the level of what Earth is sending out would break the lock-on of the mostdetermined...

If you have not seen this column, you may find it interesting. It is a (semi-)humorous send-up of the Pats-Colts game as good vs. evil. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=easterbrook/071023&sportCat=nfl (Uh-oh, I think I just made this into another alignment thread!) As a...

Look at the bright side; maybe it was probing us, and uploaded "Dancing with the Stars", "Kid Nation", and the news obsession with drunken slutty starlets, and then just couldn't take it ...

I saw the comet last night; it appeared to the eye as a star as bright as any in the constellation that it is in (Perseus). Through binoculars it appeared as a blurred, bright, compact disk. Quite cool. If you want to see what the sky will look like from your location, I recommend...

Comet Holmes (17P) brightened by a factor of more than a million times to go from a brightness only detectable in a large telescope as late as October 20th is now as bright as some of the brightest stars in the sky. Northern hemisphere observers are particularly well-placed to see Comet Holmes...

I'm right with ya.

Nah, the Saints are back on track in a weak division. Pity the poor Dolphins fan ... Oh, one thing about the Pack ... even if you're just watching them casually, they'll pull you in, get you excited - and then spit in your face. Sigh

I would not dream of doubting you. As we've said, this should happen once every 2,000 characters or so, and given just the numbers of characters I bet just those of us who have participated in thread have seen, I'm not too surprised to see it a couple times. The method that you describe using...

True enough. On the large scale, if you gather several thousand people's experience together, someone on there will more than likely have the three 18's. It might be that when people consider characters, they don't put it in context with the number of rejected characters (like the computer...

Three 18's should happen in about one of every 2,000 characters using 4d6 six times and drop the lowest. Other methods such as 4d6 seven times, drop the lowest, disregarding rolls that "don't count", and especially rolling character after character will dramatically increase those odds. Not...

I kind of picked this post to respond to randomly, so no offense is meant anywhere ... The odds of ending up with a score of x is y (for an individual score). x y (%) 3 0.08 4 0.31 5 0.77 6 1.62 7 2.93 8 4.78 9 7.02 10 9.41 11 11.42 12...
