How Do They Know That?

My newspaper recently told me that there are 915 million ways to combine Six LEGO Blocks.

Such published reports beg many questions in my inquisitive mind...

  • Why are such published reports published?
  • Did some guy really sit down and rearrange these six blocks 915,000,000 times.
  • Was a gun to his head while he was rearranging those six little blocks?
  • Was he paid to do this?
  • If he was paid, he must have been paid with tax-payer funds because no private enterprise would have bothered to do something this silly.
  • How did it come out that there were exactly 915,000,000 ways?
  • They must have rounded up or down.
  • Should they be allowed to round up or down when we are dealing with such an important piece of information?
  • Should the Congressional Subcommittee in charge of such things hold hearings and call witnesses (the block arranger and the guy holding the gun to the block arranger’s head)?
  • Why is there a Congressional Subcommittee in charge of such things?

There are times when I think I may be running out of subject matter for any more Foolishness...Or Is Its? and then I open up my newspaper and I find myself covered up with Foolishness.

Would I kid u?
