Super Cool Cars!

These cars are hot!

Someone on this site had to do it.

Inconspicuous

Have you noticed that the larger a vehicle is, the more suspicious it looks? Take for example, this car.
Fairly innocent looking. But this one is a different story:
Now we are getting creepy. What cargo could it be holding inside? There are, however, some exceptions to this rule.
Nothing suspicious about this truck at all. So remember kids, if you are trying to smuggle some illegal-type cargo across some country-type border, drive a Dunkin' Donuts-type truck.

More Excitement

Today I just got back home to find this. Thats right, an actual Homestar Runner game titled "Strongbad's Cool Game for Attractive People". Needless to say, I will figure out some way to play it. For a proper introduction to this game, see here.

Trogdor Live

Yes, this is real. The Brothers Chaps (creators of Homestar Runner) and some of their buddies put on a concert as the fictional band Limozeen. The lead singer gets posessed by Strongbad and much awesomeness ensues. See the other videos by this user. The whole concert is there, including some Limozeen and Sloshy songs.

Blog Month Failed

Blog Month is now officially over and Kael completely failed. How miserable. He needs to get better at his job, yes?

Deal or No Deal

You know what? I'm actually going to make a post about Deal or No Deal. I strongly dislike this show. This is not the fault of any of the creators of the program, but the contestants that somehow get on the show. None of them know anything about statistical probability. In fact, this is probably for a good reason. If only mathematicians were on the show, who would be making the money? Not the network. This leads me to believe the true problem is not the contestants, but the people in charge of picking the contestants. Ignoring these people, Deal or No Deal is one of the many practical applications for statistical probability. As Pseudar says, "It is one of the many practical applications for statistical probability." He also goes on to say he is referring to the algorithms used by the banker to decide the "deal". I have figured out these algorithms and reveal to you the great secret:
First, calculate the theoretical value of the suitcases left on the board. That is, the expected amount of money the person will win.
Then, pick a much, much lower number. This is the deal. If you are desperate, pick an only slightly lower number.
Lastly, wait for the contestant to win between $.01 and $5.00.
If you are the banker and are dealing with mathematicians or probability theorists, my best advice is to take the money, jump through the glass on a motorcycle, do a few donuts, team up with Jason Bourne, and flee the country.
