The only problem is if you are all that stuff and NOT a man, in which case, Dad's a liar. <br /><br />Or, at the very least, he's wrong.<br /><br />Like the comic is, but I'm not doubling the size of the comic just to fix it.

Conditional probability with six binary conditions = 2^6 = 64. Where you lost me is, there's only one alternative where a person can be a man (all 6 conditions are met).DBDoanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015225243245790940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28172905.post-4497412927486919192011-08-05T09:00:02.237-04:002011-08-05T09:00:02.237-04:00Thank you, I appreciate it.
