JoyUnlikely only means that there is a less than 50% chance of it happening. "The probability is slim" implies a much lower chance, around 10% or less, the way I read it. -- Donald Shepherd <donald_shepherd@hotmail.com>
Aren't "unlikely" and "the probability is slim" basically the same? Yes, I assume that the probability of evolution is slim... because it seems unlikely... <looks confused>
The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they'll be when you kill them.
