What is the contour integral around North America?

Zero. The Poles are in Europe.
Wrong. According to Wikipedia there are approximately 9.15m poles in the US.

[But,... hmm,... if one identifies as a pole in the US, does one still get a residue?]

Dang it. It would seem there are no simple Poles.

At least, it can be said that poles in the west are stable.

Considering most probably came by air and the level of aeronautical engineering required to build one … at least most Poles got there by being in a very complex plane.

That's a Lie.

Let's face it: That one was a bit derivative.

It seems the nerdiness of this thread does not Poisson commute with the Hamiltonian.

Picked up a hitch-hiker.
Seemed like a nice guy.

After a few miles, he asked me if I wasn't afraid that he might be a serial killer?

I told him that the odds of two serial killers being in the same car were extremely unlikely.

Been a strange day.
First, I found a hat full of money.
Then I was chased by an angry man with a guitar.

I wonder what the odds actually are, @Orodruin?

The Murder Accountability Project estimates there are 2,100 unidentified serial killers in the U.S.

And the Bureau of Transportation Statistics puts the number of driven miles for "Light duty vehicle, short wheel-base" vehicles (I'm assuming these are 'cars') in 2020 at 1,896,549 million.

I can't find any official stats for hitch-hikers being picked up, though, just anecdotal incidents.

So, I'd imagine it is possible to derive a likelihood of a serial killer picking up a serial killer, but I doubt it would be robust!

The point is that the probability that the person being picked up being a serial killer does not depend on the driver being a serial killer or not.

That last line should be "observe_fall()"
