Horses kill more people every year in Australia than all the other beasties combined. Everyone thinks it's the spiders and snakes that'll get you, but it's the horses you've really got to watch.
A riffle shuffle (pictured above) requires seven shuffles to randomize a 52-card deck. Laying cards face-down on a table and mixing them by pushing them around (a technique researchers dubbed “smooshing”) requires 30 to 60 seconds to randomize the cards. An overhand shuffle — taking sections from a deck and moving them to new positions — is a staggeringly poor method of randomizing, requiring some 10,000-11,000 iterations.
Just now in the “recent discussions” I noticed a series of thread titles phrased as a questions that are each followed by a thread title that could serve as the answer.
Always remember this, just in case you ever find yourself in this circumstance,... if a gal who has attractive breasts happens to ask you what your favorite bird species is, you should not pass up the opportunity to reply,..... "Great ****".
