What are the odds of two blue 350 Chevy powered Rangers with the exact same wheels being on the track at the same time? Also my name is Don, his name is Donnie, I'm from Homeville and he married a girl from Homeville.

My 87 longbox is a touch quicker by a couple of tenths. Both of us stepping up this year but mine is getting more radical changes.

50/50
I have a theory that everything is a 50/50 chance.
Is it going to rain? 50/50 = it either is, or isn't going to rain.
Having a baby? 50/50 on if its a boy or girl.
Stepping out the house? 50/50 chance of a piano falling on your head. = it either will or wont fall on your head
Going to the races? 50/50 chance you will race a Chevy 350 powered blue Ranger = it could have been any color

I mean, the smallblock Chevy is the most popular swap of all time, and those wheels are pretty standard issue drag racing wheels, seems chances are pretty good to me. As for the rest of the story, CrAzY!!

50/50 makes sense... it either will or it won’t happen. That’s only 2 choices... 50/50!

I will NOT have a piano fall on my head.
1) Nobody lives above me
2) There is no piano on my roof (I would have heard the SOB who put it there do it, if there was)
3) I don't live under a flight path.

@PetroleumJunkie412 .... arm the trebuchet!
He'll never be able to throw a piano that far, even with a trebuchet. And, even if he could, he doesn't have a trebuchet, I stole it and locked it in my garage. It's protected by the following:
1) 30,000,000,000,000,000 volts of electricity
2) A 150 pound Rottweiler named Jesus (and he's watching you!)
3) A 2,000 pound bull named bossy (don't mess with him, he's mean!)
4) A 90 pound Pitbull named Boss
5) My neighbour (he's a trained sniper)
6) A crocodile infested moat that is 100 feet deep and 100 feet wide (don't bother, they eat boats).
7) 30,000,000,000 tonnes of explosives.

I would strongly advise against trying to get the trebuchet out of my garage. Oh, by the way, the moat is NOT filled with water. It's filled with Hydrochloric Acid. The crocodiles are impervious to it.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I will NOT have a piano fall on my head.
1) Nobody lives above me
2) There is no piano on my roof (I would have heard the SOB who put it there do it, if there was)
3) I don't live under a flight path.
But still, either it will or it won’t. Two choices. 50%chance.

Extremely high probability that it won’t.
