that's impossible

used to know a guy who had the same birthday as his years-younger brother. how much would that suck

50% chance yo uhave the same birthday with just 23 random people, 99% with 57 random people

23 random people within a 20 mile radius?

sorry, if you pick 23 people 50% chance two have the same bday

99% chance with 57 people sounds pretty suspicious

its statistics!

but there's 365 possible birthdays

Shopped for a new mattress last week. Was told we needed to also buy a box spring in order to preserve the warranty. Talked to the salesman again today, and he said no -- what he meant was, we just couldn't use an old box spring without voiding the mattress warranty. Using no box spring is apparently OK. So we're gonna use our old box spring, and if anything happens to the mattress, we'll just get a new bed frame that's designed to not use a box spring. (Which would be much cheaper than buying a new mattress.) I think.

The water in Ruben's hand in the banner looks pretty damn cold.

if something goes wrong do they send someone to check what your bedroom looks like?

Yeah, that's what happened with our current mattress. It developed these like 1.49" body indentations in one month, but an inspector came and said they hadn't reached the warranty threshold of 1.50" or whatever

Beds are an unfunny game

my box spring doesn't fit up our stairs so I had to chuck it. getting some plywood to throw down on my frame this weekend

renting cars seems a lot cheaper than I expected. do they throw lots of hidden costs on you?
