Guest Gorskar Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 I am on the train home from uni, and I brought a packet of wine guns with me for company, and the strangest statistical anomaly seems to have occured. They are just about all red! Very off topic I know, but I'm bored.
Guest mashkhan Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Yes, you are bored. Guess what? I'm bored too. Freaky.....
Guest Palindrome Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Well, talking about statistical anomallies: I used to work in market research. Our computers would generate random numbers to which we would ring and try to get people to answer our questions. One of the interviewers had been arguing with his girlfriend during his break in the staff common room. She was calling from a public telephone outside her house and had hung up thoroughly pis*ed off. Just as she did so the phone rang. The caller happened to be a friend of her boyfriend who was currently phoning up the computer generated random telephone numbers in the work area. The girlfriend didn't believe it was by chance but concidering the phone number of the puplic telephone was on the screen, the two mates where seperated by a wall and the public phone had rung the moment she had slammed the phone down on her bloke seems to make it pretty unfakeable. How's that for a coincidence?
Guest Matt Whitfield Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 Palindrome, is your real name Bob? Just wondering...
Guest Palindrome Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 No, not Bob. Do I remind you of something?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 16, 2003 Report Posted April 16, 2003 On the topic of sweets: where the hell do you get jelly beans from? :lol:
Guest Palindrome Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 No, no, the dark purple ones are the best!
Guest Coolboy1982 Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 No, no, the dark purple ones are the best! dark purple wine gums? I like the black ones most! Are they actually dark purple?
Guest midnight Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 you want coincidence, how about this, was playing music from my mobi while in the bath, chillin out cos of the hot weather, and my phone rang, just so happens, the part of the song that was playing was the same as the ringtone, and rang at *almost* the exact same time as that part of the ringtone appeared in the song, about 1-2 secs out, only reason i knew it was ringing was cos i have it set to vibrate and saw my phone gently gliding along beside the bath.
Guest Palindrome Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Good job your phone didn't jump in there with you! What would the neighbours think? Yeah, the dark purple ones are the black ones. Don't have any in front of me so can't really confirm the exact colour. What flavour are they supposed to be anyway?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Wine Gums are nice, but Jelly Belly Jelly Beans are king! :lol: P
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Expensive though :? compared to wine gums and yes the black ones are the best :lol:
Guest Rob.P Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Talking of weirdness, has anyone ever picked up the phone at the precise time it was about to ring. Happened a couple of weeks ago, was a bit...errrmm... out of it so to speak :wink: and went to make a phone call on the house phone, picked up the handset and pressed the button for dialtone, which happened to be the precise time the phone was gonna ring as I put it to my ear expecting the dialtone my mate was on the other end, also he happened to be with the person that I wanted to call. As you can imagine I was decidely spun out by the surreal-ness and had to lay down for abit afterwards.
