Funny web stuff

So i dont really have a category to put cool stuff i read on the web under – so it goes in general

* Apparently the old ‘an asteroid hit the earth and killed all the dinosaurs’ theory may be wrong

* Tossing a coin isnt as unbaised and fair as everyone seems to think. That is pretty interesting and mathy – i like this quote

During World War II, South African mathematician John Kerrich carried out 10,000 coin tosses while interned in a German prison camp. However, he didn’t record which side the coin started on, so he couldn’t have discovered the kind of bias the new analysis brings out.

Sounds like the book ive got on a symplified maths technique that was developed by a mathematician during the war while he was in a concentration camp.

* For all you conspiracy theory people out there, this article talks about some dude who was setting of shop detectors from his wad of new american $20 bills which apparently have some kind of ‘chip’ inside them. Soooo to destroy the chip he microwaves the $1000 USD worth of ntoes and they all burn… ha ha Wonder what the bank will say when he tries to exchange $1000 worth of notes that are all burnt in the same place…

We will now be wrapping all of our larger bills in foil on a regular basis.
