    Better.
    Wait. 12 is the integer. Are you saying that is not very random so you posted a much more random number?

    I will choose 37.

      • that is some brilliant editing
        It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

          • More awesome random stuff; hope it didn't impact any driving Steve had to do:

            If your commute along I-40 was a bit slippery yesterday, this explains why! Yesterday morning, a roll-over crash involving a semi-tractor trailer and a box truck occurred on I-40 near Mustang on the western fringes of the Oklahoma City metro. The accident prompted the rubberneckers at KWTV News 9 to apparently scramble Patricia's Sky News 9 for a live shot, and boy did chopper pilot Jim Gardner deliver. After he gave a brief and vague update of the scene, intrigued morning anchor Lacey Lowery asked what cargo the truck was carrying and, specifically "what's all over the road?" After an awkward pause, a somewhat bashful Jim Gardner stuttered his way around the question and the cameraman zoomed in. The result was this hysterical video and on-air banter...

                Highly light-sensitive rods (in blue) dominate the retina relative to cones (in green). In ideal conditions in air, sea otters can see about as clearly as seals, sea lions, and walruses [12-22], which is about 7x less clear than humans with 20/20 vision.

                          • I've seen a lot of cliff-diving videos but this one has to be one of the most impressive:



                            As amazing as this is for the first guy, it has to be that much more so for the 2nd guy w the camera who films the whole thing perfectly on his way down.
