It's a trap!

That just improves your patient, making it more broadly applicable. You now have a patent on the use of the letter "i" in the word "patent". Kudos.

Someone's off my list of people to give a million dollars to.

I probably wouldn't live in this place even if I had the money.

Really? You planning on showing some respect to Hitler or Stalin anytime soon? Because he was in the same club.

Many of those atheists spent a decade or so in Catholic school...

I went full human civetpede. Cut out the middleman, amirite?

As I and others have shown, a 98% accurate test applied to a group of test subjects with a low enough actual incidence of the thing being tested for (5% in my example, although you could argue that the incidence of what they're testing for is actually higher in the baseball player pool) will result in only 50% true…

Wait, wait, wait. A steel cannonball is too dangerous to use? Because it might leave his territory and is really hard to stop? I think this myth needs to be busted...

Always a good idea to lead with your face.
