Apparently, it is incredibly possible that no deck of cards have ever been shuffled to the same order.

"To give you an idea of how many that is, here is how long it would take to go through every possible permutation of cards. If every star in our galaxy had a trillion planets, each with a trillion people living on them, and each of these people has a trillion packs of cards and somehow they manage to make unique shuffles 1,000 times per second, and they'd been doing that since the Big Bang, they'd only just now be starting to repeat shuffles."
To make the subject complete!

That's not factually correct, 118 bpm is a brisk walk or slight jog where your heart rate increases.

Yes there's a few on youtube i listened to. I remember one with Alan Moore.
Karl Pilkington's view of the infinite monkey theorem was funny: ""If they haven't even read Shakespeare, how do they know what they're doing?""

If you can find a torrent of the infinite monkey cage you should get them, it's informative and fun. This is a good book that tries to prove the existence and factual physics that Father Christmas could actually deliver all his http://www.amazon.co.uk/Can-Reindeer-Fly-Science-Christmas/ dp/0753813661/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1355348881&sr= presents using wormholes and thermo Dynamics etc. 1-1

Interesting fact: Will Self told Karl Pilkington to "fuck off" before adding he didn't know wether he should kick him down the road or take his clothes off and soap him gently with palm olive.
Oh, is this gossip? Fun gossip.

Mel Blanc, voice of bugs bunny hated carrots , and so do most bunny rabbits.
but carrot shares went sky high soon after bugs bunny was created. in fact most people would not know what a carrot was , if it wasn’t for bugs ( i may have exaggerated there on that last bit)

they did it several times actually, first with Luna 16 in 1969 up to Luna 24 in the mid 70s. I've actually played with some of the material one of them scooped up. Looks like house dust lol

250 million for a cable connecting all of the USA and Europe is a bargain. Is it the cable alone that cost that, or the cost of the laying it too?
