Prove to me that you're not Evo. Or that I'm not Evo.

You could've left my original avatar as I was told I look like Evo when she was younger :)

 

[Greger]

haha this avatar freaked me out

Either Evo does not look like Evo, or there is a portrait of her in the Tate Museum...

Did Quantum Physics just divide by zero again?

Nah, it's just the laws of probability that got violated again.

Anyway, I believe it started in the member photo thread at post #4446, where Greg had just explained that he is engaged!

You can't see it now, but one after the other of the repliers took on Evo's avatar.

Thanks to this day and Evo, everyone's got a beautiful avatar even ordinary members!

The day started off badly. First, I fell down the stairs. I strained my resources, shattered my hopes, broke my concentration, wounded my pride, severed my relationships, shivered my timbers, rent my apartment, battered my chicken, cut my losses, cracked my case wide open, injured my chances, damaged my reputation, fractured my funny bone and split my sides. They put me in a cast of thousands. Then I took a shower and when I went to dry my hair, I banned myself. Next I couldn't find my debit card, and now this.

There's no violation, cause things with probability zero can still happen.

If you would take a random integer, the chance of it being 1 is zero, but it's still possible.

I thought cloning people was illegal?

If you would take a random integer, the chance of it being 1 is zero, but it's still possible.

So if the chance that someone becomes Evo is zero, it could still happen that everyone becomes Evo?

You can't select an integer uniformly at random
