The monty hall problem

It's really hard to explain the problem, why switching improves your chances. Penn was on the right track with the million doors. My approach is this:Monty Hall knows what's behind every single door. There are 1,000 doors. 999 have goats. 1 has a car. Monty asks you to choose a door. You choose a door. You have a 1/1000 chance of picking the car. Monty now offers you the choice. Do you want to stay with your door or choose the other 999 doors?You would have to be drunk to stick with your door.…See More

About Me

Host of the Conspiracy Skeptic podcast and the OKCupcast: Online Dating for Nerds as well as co-host of the Ask A Canadian podcast (each week bringing you 45 minutes of your life you'll never get back). Field Marshal of the Goudeau Army (Canadian Eastern Command)

And I seem to have backed into being the leading skeptical authority on the Aetherius Society.

My Official Biography

Karl Mamer is a real, live Canadian. Not a simulation. He lives in the most un-Canadian part of Canada after Windsor, Ontario: Toronto. Karl is at least 45 years old. Because Canadians have largely lost the ability (or desire) to reproduce, 45 is considered young for a Canadian. He is 5’8” tall. Due to Canada being a largely winter-locked nation, most Canadians keep their socially polite extremities (legs, arms) short and tucked into specially evolved skin flaps. So 5’8” is considered very tall among his countrymen. Karl lived in the USA for several years, and Karl is well aware of what Americans are capable of. American women were not all charmed by his exotic Canadian accent, and he’s rather bitter about that. Karl apologizes unreservedly for this bitterness towards American women but would enjoy if one of you finally got off your ass and married him.

Did a Canadian filmmaker find a MIA Vietnam vet, declared KIA decades ago?

Posted on May 16, 2013 at 10:30am 0 Comments

No. My massive three part investigation into claims a KIA Vietnam vet named John Hartley Robertson was found by a Christian missionary.

Letter From Albert Einstein To His 11 Year Old Son

Now, here's a great letter to a son. Every dad everywhere should copy this down and give it to his son on Father's Day -- or ANY fuckin' day!



Don't be a fuckin' piece of shit, Dads. Do something nice for your son before it's too fuckin' late!







"My dear Albert,



"Yesterday I received your dear letter and was very happy with it. I was already afraid you wouldn’t write to me at all any more. You told me when I was in Zurich, that it is awkward for you… Continue

First blog ever, here goes!



I had planned to go to the opening of a new coaster at Alton towers. I booked the day off work to go and visit this state of the art, computer designed masterpiece of interwoven steel, wrought into Helices and spirals and corkscrews and loops.



After finishing a long day of work, made somewhat longer by the lingering promise of a well deserved day off the next day, I heard the news that it wasn't ready, gutted wasn't the word...
