- oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14If you flip a coin, and it lands on heads, does that mean the coin has a 100% probability of landing on heads?
- ToadLeg, on 10/10/2007, -9/+3Yes. It didn't land on tails did it? There is no chance of the coin landing on tails because it already landed! You can't flip the flip that you just flipped again! In the same way, this event already occurred, and therefore the chances of it occurring was 100%. It may not happen in the future, but it definitely 100% did in the past.

- accelleron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6In given scenario, there is a 0% chance the coin will land on heads and a 0% chance it will land on tails.
Reason: It already landed.
Smoke less. Do more. - Otto, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Use of the word "probability" only makes sense when the event has not yet occurred. After the event has occurred, the probability is 100% that whatever happened actually happened. I mean, you saw it happen, right? So it's not probable anymore, it's guaranteed.
Probability is a way to measure unknowns. When they become knowns, it no longer makes sense to speak of probabilities.

Then again, I can't imagine too many people staying in a marriage after spending a long time telling each other how much their marriage sucked, and how abusive/neglectful/ugly their spouse are. - nox327, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3OK everyone, this story is FAKE and here is the proof.

Budding Jordan cyber love ends in divorce
AMMAN (AFP) - A budding romance between a Jordanian man and woman turned into an ugly public divorce when the couple found out that they were in fact man and wife, state media reported.
Separated for several months, boredom and chance briefly re-united Bakr Melhem and his wife Sanaa in an Internet chat room, the official Petra news agency said.
Bakr, who passed himself off as Adnan, fell head over heels for Sanaa, who signed off as Jamila (beautiful) and described herself as a cultured, unmarried woman -- a devout Muslim whose hobby was reading, Petra said.
Cyber love blossomed between the pair for three months and soon they were making wedding plans. To pledge their troth in person, they agreed to meet in the flesh near a bus depot in the town of Zarqa, northeast of Amman.
The shock of finding out their true identities was too much for the pair.
Upon seeing Sanaa-alias-Jamila, Bakr-alias-Adnan turned white and screamed at the top of his lungs: "You are divorced, divorced, divorced" -- the traditional manner of officially ending a marriage in Islam.
"You are a liar," Sanaa retorted before fainting, the agency said.

- ch33sehead, on 10/10/2007, -9/+4"Haha, wow what are the chances?"
I believe Murphy's Law applies to this situation. Not so much in the sense that something will go WRONG, just that if something is statistically unlikely, but it gets millions of chances of occurring, it will.- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26You know that Murphy's Law is not a law, right?
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+38Yes it is. Have you ever watched Robocop? Murphy is the law.
- krisscofield, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10No, Judge Dredd is the law.
- mywhitenoise, on 10/10/2007, -0/+38Yes it is. Have you ever watched Robocop? Murphy is the law.
- oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Thats not Murphy's law, its basic probability.
- Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Btw, the whole "something will go wrong" isn't Murphy's law, it's Finnagle's Law:
Finagle's Law: n.
The generalized or ‘folk’ version of Murphy's Law, fully named “Finagle's Law of Dynamic Negatives” and usually rendered “Anything that can go wrong, will” ( http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/F/Finagles-Law.html )
compare:
Murphy's Law: prov.
The correct, original Murphy's Law reads: “If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it.” This is a principle of defensive design, cited here because it is usually given in mutant forms less descriptive of the challenges of design for lusers. For example, you don't make a two-pin plug symmetrical and then label it “THIS WAY UP”; if it matters which way it is plugged in, then you make the design asymmetrical (see also the anecdote under magic smoke). ( http://catb.org/esr/jargon/html/M/Murphys-Law.html ) - picsectionpleez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Um, that would be the Law of Numbers. Basically, if there are large numbers of chances involved all kinds of seemingly unlikely things happen. Like a roulette ball hitting black 20 times in a row, or a coin toss resulting in heads 100 times, or Digg fixing this ***** comment system.

retards. apparently they're meant for each other if they met that way and fell in love all over again.- smackhero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+137seriously. it seems like they had a serious communication problem but were given a second chance through a fortunate coincidence. clearly they were both "guilty" of the same thing, but actually sought out one another in reality. and instead of counting their blessings and taking the opportunity they were given to rework their marriage problems outside of their previously established emotional walls, they instead got a divorce and accuse one another of the same thing... what retards.
idiots like that don't deserve happiness. not if they're going to throw it away like morons. some people just gravitate towards hatred over love, i guess.- tomokatsu, on 10/10/2007, -15/+13Or you could just recognize that this is a joke, and chill out.

Seriously, fall in love TWICE with each other and still need to divorce? - VitriolAndAngst, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Classic case of not wanting what you already have.
This should become a parable in time. - MrFisty, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1But more to the point, they felt the need to disclose their online encounter.
The only thing dumber than retards who do this stuff are the one's who tell everyone about it. The "I was unfairly banned for playing pre-release Halo 3" Kid, I'm looking at you. - ndteja, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I wish it ended with them not wanting to get divorced. But I guess I watch too many movies.
- adrianmonk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well, that's certainly how it happened in episode #44 of "The Munsters" back in 1965. Herman and Lily both get jobs as welders at a shipyard, and though they can't see each other's faces because of the welding masks, they start flirting with each other. When they find out, they're both furious at the other for being unfaithful. Then Grandpa (I think it was) convinces them that they are truly made for each other if they fell in love all over again without even knowing they were doing it, and they all live happily ever after. (Except for their "homely"-looking daughter, of course, because the family is always scaring away her boyfriends.)
Actually, it was kind of a clever episode. Sort of a "Gift of the Magi" type of thing.

- VeryBoredNow, on 10/10/2007, -2/+38Shoutout to Bosnia!
I was in Zenica about 3 years ago it's a small city, real nice.
Bosnias population is aprox. 4 mil. people so the odds were
not that bad, especially if you take into account the # of people
that use the internet in bosnia that takes the number down to maybe
a few hundert thousand.
But still, Bosnians have always been a weird bunch.- MattZed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Yeah, if you knew Bosnians like I know Bosnians, you would be 100% sure that they are the only species on this planet capable of this sort of thing.
Love from Croatia- VeryBoredNow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I am Bosnian ;)

- echolalia, on 10/10/2007, -1/+56Daily telegraph always has these ridiculous stories that you never know how true they are. Honestly, how do they know about a couple from Bosnia, being an Australian site, is beyond me. I remember a story about a Mexican guy who had his brother sleep with his girlfriend on the Telegraph also. I am finding it all hard to believe.
- Alegis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4"Honestly, how do they know about a couple from Bosnia, being an Australian site, is beyond me."
FTA: "telling each other about their marriage troubles, Metro.co.uk reported. "
Not that it makes the story more convincing if Metro.co.uk is full of *****, but here's your answer as to how they did "find out". - dvsbastard, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Sounds a case of the blind leading the blind... You would be better off getting your "news" from the World Weekly News... Odds are it would be a lot more accurate too!

There almost like the Digg.com of broadcast media. If you like something, you instead "digg" it onto your newspaper/teevee box.- cyberscape2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1..."teevee box"?
- Alegis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4"Honestly, how do they know about a couple from Bosnia, being an Australian site, is beyond me."
- COLDshiver, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Hehe, what a happy ending it *could* have been :/ Reminds me of the movie "You've Got Mail"
- compgeek, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3lol that was just way too funny.
- aoneal417, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20that would be a good sequel to You've Got Mail
- domeyerj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You got served (a divorce)?
- pyry, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I swear this happened once already, and made it into the news.
- Shandooga, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I remember the story too. A couple of arabs; he divorced her on the spot. Over there you can divorce your wife just by saying "I divorce you" three times.
- SlipstreamLucas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4really? imagine the divorce rates in the states if THAT law was passed.

- geminitojanus, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41st, it's a Bon Jovi song, not a haiku, 2nd, he got the lyrics wrong; "shot to the heart, /and you're to blame/..."
- BossKey, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0comment buried for insufficient awareness of pop culture
(and for confusing Bon Jovi with haiku)

- ZenMojo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29There are two ways to look at this. Does this just show how easily they could repair their marriage with a little attention and communication (considering they were probably complaining about stuff the other did, it shouldn't be hard)? Or does this just show how online couples can lie and conceal their real selves from each other (considering they were probably complaining about stuff the other did, it should be pretty well-concealed)?
- masterc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Prince of Joy? I'd be more worried that he might be gay than a cheater!
- wolvin, on 10/10/2007, -1/+35I am also waiting for the day that some TV news people and some police department run into each other on a sting.
- SlipstreamLucas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1haha yeah that would be the best :)
- SlipstreamLucas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1haha yeah that would be the best :)
- gibsonic, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6i was just thinking that this could have turned out even better if they had met up at a costume party and slipped away in a private room and got it on and then afterwards realized they were married. Imagine the carnage!
- petebot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0That happened in Clerks. Or at least in the Clerks backstory.
- CorpT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It only counts as half cheating.
- petebot, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0That happened in Clerks. Or at least in the Clerks backstory.
- TajesMahoney, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9this seems straight out of "The Onion". I'm still waiting for the gag to be revealed. They "fell in love" with their on line aliases, but as soon as they realize who is behind the screen they hate each other again? I really thought this was going to turn into a positive "venting out our troubles to one another that way really helped our marriage". oh well...
- Shandooga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It did seem to have that potential.
- SlipstreamLucas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2no it didn't.....their....bosnians.
it will likely result in some for of blood feud that goes on for centuries now. - TheSpore, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The source of this article is the Daily Telegraph. I've never heard of them before, but their home page seems to be all about celebrity news. Credibility is probably not a high priority for them.
- Starkey82, on 10/10/2007, -4/+2I guess Dr. Phil missed this one:)

- Bossy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7"The truth emerged when the two turned up for a date." Both of them were looking forward to being screwed.
I mean what are the chances of them not realizing that they are already married based on their striking similarities like name, location, job, etc. They probably lied to each other about everything... just to get screwed.- ztrek, on 09/01/2008, -0/+0This comment reminds me of an old song: Escape (The Pina Colada song)
- tomokatsu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4it clearly states "Metro.co.uk reported. " I'm pretty sure that it is fake. (although admittedly funny)
- Fly1m1, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1I like pina coladas, & getting caught in the rain......
- Shandooga, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2That must have been sobering.
- SilenceGold, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1It should beat the marriage therapy.
- bigtime2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10im bosnian, and iv been waiting for a cool story to show up on digg about bosnians and ...two ***** ***** up my hopes.
lol- SlipstreamLucas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i could make up a cool one for you.
just need a hundred or so morons to digg it and it will become true :) - eddosa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0u not the only bosnian here :)

out all of people in the world, it had to be bosnians, lol

- wheresjim, on 10/10/2007, -4/+15My brother once met this really cool chick on eWorld. As they got to talking they discovered how much they had in common. From the same state, same town? Wow! They even went to the same high school. Turns out it was my sister. LOL! Pwned!

- rabiddachshund, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Are you his sister?
Also, I still hate this comment system. It says there are 4 replies to wheresjim's comment.- redlinedzx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0There are 4. Why is this system so hard for people to grasp?

- tomokatsu, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It is fake... It was from "Metro.co.uk" a joke website.

- timjim31, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2sounds like a stephen glass article
- BlinderBomber, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Does anyone else think that the fact that they're getting divorced after falling in love with each other online is even funnier than the initial situation. If that happened with someone I was married to, I'd take it as an opportunity to realize how great they were and reconnect with all the reasons I married them in the first place - not as an even bigger reason to divorce.
- SpyDerMann, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They obviously still hate each other and are not willing to forgive each other for the miserable life they've been giving to each other.
- flashingcurser, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2On line, he can be rich and she can be slim.
- wrzhydr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Or all the things they were saying online to each other were complete lies. Once a cheater always a cheater.

- peterA650, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1True or fake makes little difference. The question here is has the web really brought us any closer? My answer is no, virtual interaction is worthless and I'm sticking with it. Time to go out for a walk into the real world.

- SpyDerMann, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4This HAS to be a coincidence. Yesterday, a mexican comedy show about a couple with problems, was about them cybercheating on each other... with each other!
