Are you drunk or stupid? One of the most idiotic statements written on let's run,
Unlikely anyone will, but I think several will, but maybe not.....my head is spinning because I'm stoopid.
Let me clarify it for you.
Something that is more likely than not has greater than 50% chance of occurring.
I said that it's likely that...
Therefore, I was merely stating that there is greater than 50% chance that the stated event will occur.
In parenthesis, I was stating that I thought/hoping that it some of the women will actually achieve it. Think of it like a poker player decides to put in chips even though he has less than 50% chance of winning. At that point he is really hoping. Playing against the odds.
Knowledge is power...
