Yeah it's just you. This is like finding the short story that the first EVER novel was based on, when that short story was written by a completely different person than the novel. It's a work of art, primitive maybe, but no less art and in one of the few actually original media of the 20th century.
Nice try - but the probability doesn't change when they pick a door because you've already picked a door and that's when the probability of a correct guess should be determined. Observe.
You have a one in three chance of picking the right door - you pick it, you've got a 1/3 chance of getting it right.
They open a door - has your chance of picking the right door initally changed? Nope! Still one in three. The only thing that changes is the probability of the other door being correct.
Your four option scenario actually shows the same thing. If the right door is B there is 100% chance they will open C, and the same with B if the right door is C. On the other hand, if A is the right door the chance of B being chosen is only 50% all things being equal and the same with C. So the chances of A being right is
50+50/50+50+100+100, or 1/3.

It has always been formally wrong. HTML has in it's very acronym the words Mark-Up. What you have discovered is that the
tag, in some browsers, creates white space - so you are using it presentationally. However, this whitespace is not guaranteed in all browsers and it does nothing to 'mark-up' the document as it isn't showing where paragraphs begin, which is the point of the
tag, and thus your accessibility suffers.
If you just want a couple of line separation, you could use the
tag twice, which, while ugly, is at least using tags correct. But you should, optimally, surround paragraphs with the
tags, so that you can define whatever paragraph break you want in the CSS, which is the place for presentational information.
If you just want readable text, write a.txt file (or an.rtf if you must have formatting). You can argue that 'it just works' and most of the time (only most) you'd be right. You can type with a stick six feet from the keyboard too, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. The book you read was crap.
Didn't Spider-Man do this all the freakin' time? Often leading to violence? Friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man my lilly white ass! Stalker-Man more like. There oughta be a law.
It is in fact a crime and I will be suing all those who have ripped off my famous "Wise cracking dad, devoted wife and cute kids" formula, not to mention my "wisecracking group of people who work together" formula and its sibling, "group of people who hang out together a lot wisecracking about sex".
To be honest, I going with Mr Sinus on this one. There's too much of a difference between a live show and a television program for it to be trademark infringement. IMHO IANAL etc.

I'm reminded of a scene in Bbylon 5 where two psi-cops (telepaths) were practicing their psychic combat. They sat at a table and representations of their attacks and defenses appeared betweens them. While it wasn't hugely exciting, it doesn't take much to see how Jackson could have interspersed shots of two wizards concentrating until breaking point while colorful representations of their metal battle fought around them. Would have been better than old-man-fu IMHO.

It still works in 9.x (I've had it in 9,1 and 9.3). Just install it from the extension room, and note that there's a post down the bottom of that page that tells you how to remove it (which is still currently problematic).

One thing to remember is that Charles Dodgson/Lewis Carrol was a mathematician, so a lot of the 'dream-logic' is represented by explicit examples of logical fallacies as demonstrated by conversation.

In a summer job at my mother's work, the boss called me into a meeting room and asked if I could hack my way into an NT sever. The password it should have been set up with didn't work, and there was a 1125 litre bottle of whiskey for me if I could do it. I asked what the password was supposed to be, typed it in, and bingo, off it went. Maybe they'd used a capital A in administrator or something. Easiest grog I ever scored, though it did rot my hippocampus so much that now I can't recall my own name.

You can just take the particle - no need to use the a tool.
As opposed to, say, druids?

why were the people in PKDs world so interested in this virtual suffering. I dunno. Why did so many people go and see 'The Passion of the Christ'?

True. But Episode IV hasn't always been 'A New Hope'. A long time ago, but in this actual galaxy, it was just called 'Star Wars'.
The historical medieval one is almost certainly Chivalry and Sorcery.
