Please don’t put a guilt trip on me 🤪 I too feel bad when good bugs take the rap for the bad ones. I even let the spiders and bugs from the house back outside for a chance. Well except for those black water bugs. They are huge and fast. You could saddle them up for a real ride. They creep me out and they get the bottom of my shoe. The ones that dare come in the house anyway
No worries Subby. Big is up to being nefarious. Doesn't matter what you say or do he is gonna stir the pot. Probably been in the wax again.

In 2019, Mega Millions managed to sell 1,480,538,245 (or 1.48 billion) tickets. This is around 2,817 tickets every minute or about 47 tickets every second—of the whole year!
-----------------------------------------------------
To get real greasy with the actual numbers: *If* you bought one lottery ticket a week since before the founding of Ur of the Chaldees (circa 2000BC), you will have purchased 208,000 tickets. (4000x52)

your odds of winning are still an abysmal

208,000 divided by 1,480,538,245 = 1.404894474711796e-4

Roughly 1000:1 <-- TINS

Better juice up your time machine to go back to the Jurassic Period and start your ticket buying.

Ah yes the dreaded asteroid Apophiis that is said to be a planet killer. Well according to NASA we're supposed to be safe from it for another 100 years. However there is a video featuring Neil Degrasse Tyson that says depending on where exactly it passes us in 2029 (while they know it will be closer then the moon they don't know exactly how close it will be) it will definitely hit us the next time it comes around in 2036. There is this small area that Tyson refers to as a keyhole and if it passes within that keyhole then the gravitational force of the earth will alter it's orbit just enough that it will definitely hit us in 2036. Unless of course Bruce Willus and his oil drilling buddies fly out to it and drill some holes to bury some nukes deep within it so we can blow it to smitherines before it hits us.

Now obviously I'm just joking about Bruce Willis as a reference to his well known Movie called Armaggedon. The other stuff predicted by Tyson though is not said in jest. You can check it out for yourself in the video below.


Sorry to haveta do this to y'all. But since I am a Solipsist**, and I will be 96 at that time, you will all have to go out with a bang along with me.

TFB for y'all, but there it is -- you had a good ride on my dime.
