As a statistician I refuse to gamble. I understand the futility of it. The law of large numbers guarantees you will go bankrupt against the house in all games except poker (or its derivatives).

I attempt to explain this to everyone. It is a popular subject here in Ct as we have two very large Casinos in state. These casinos prey upon the less mathematically inclined. My explanations get shrugged off as virtually everyone seems to think there are ways to beat craps, blackjack (besides counting), and roullette. They seem to get confused by "raising the odds" and "beating the odds".

So my question is, do any of you mathematically inclined people, who understand the laws of probability, and how gambling works, actually gamble?

In laboratories, mice or guinea pigs and sometimes even other animals are used as "research material". Do you think we as humans have the right to perform such an act in the name of science? For our own advancement, perhaps?

Does the other person's DNA just float around inside you? What would that do to you, having someone else's DNA in you. I am just curious. I know its a stupid question, but I have been thinking about it.

see, prokaryotes have no TRUE nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles, right? and eukaryotic cells have otherwise. my teacher asked us what classification of a cell does a virus belong to..he mentioned akaryotes (no nucleus, as in erythrocytes)... and i can't think of the answer. are there other type of cells aside from the famous PROKARYOTIC and EUKARYOTIC cells? where do viruses belong to?...

I didn't feel it happen but know I spotted it within minutes of it happening. Two little blody holes almost 1/2" apart. Not hurting now or itching or anything, but worried because hobo spiders are rampant this time of year in Oregon. I took these pictures about 20 minutes after spotting it:
