i don't do science, dude, i just learn the secrets of their dirty laundry, then fuck up all the details in the retelling

 

mayhap the phone #'s in sweden?

 

according to the book, you coulda made a ton of cash playing an illegal lottery in new york back in the day b/c the gangstas used the last 5 digits of the us treasury's daily account balance to generate their "random" #s - course, the mafia never had many qualms about breaking nerds fingers, neither, so maybe it wouldn't have been that wise?

MARILYN VOS SAVANT SAID MONTY HAUL NOT THE DEVIL.

foo

didn't eddie murphy, in "the golden child," compare the devil to monty hall?

[G-spotter]

Well, now we all have those bad days when we can't hit for shit.

 

The more of them magics you use,

the more bad days you have without them

So it comes down to finally

all your days being bad without the bullets

It's magics or nothing.

Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself,

kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead

 

And that's where old George found himself.

Out there at the crossroads.

molding the Devil's bullets.

Now a man figures it's his bullets,

so it'll hit what he wants to hit.

But it don't always work out that way

 

You see, some bullets is special for a single aim.

A certain stag, or a certain person

And no matter where you aim, that's where the bullet will end up.

And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand,

and point where the bullet wants to go
