I remember seeing a while back a picture (maybe photoshopped) of some anti-terrorist force riding one of these mini cars and then the members coming out of it , as if clowns packed in a car, and then drinking one of these fruity- blue-ish drinks in Starbucks. Not too intimidating.

I suspect jokes are finitely-generated and after some 11,000 we've essentially seen them all. Or at least we're close.

Guess that would somehow explain why I see doubles more and more often, but in that case someone is surely in need of a more random draw with replacement.

Good point. But may be good to have repeats. I noticed I had missed some the first time around.

Seems to be one of our great weaknesses: we repeat history. Often despite knowing it better.
