@ElleGray Even granting that tail direction has a 50% probability, for that sample to come out exactly even is actually pretty unlikely. I'm afraid I must call shenanigans.

@ElleGray When I worked at the school newspaper years and years ago, our classic example of a scientific study that meant something but we couldn't figure out what also came from Kansas.

Kansas is, topographically, flatter than a pancake.

@ElleGray I've heard of "CPT symmetry", but I didn't realize that it stands for Curly Pig Tails!

🥥 You #Atheists take note: Just one of the many ways that the good Lord keeps the universe in balance is by begetting an equal number of clockwise and counter-clockwise-tailed pigs.
Scoff if you want, but would YOU have thought of this level of detail if YOU were the King of Kings?
I didn't think so.
I rest my case. 🥥

@Chris @ElleGray I was just going to propose the existence of an OCD pig farmer but this is similar
