why kingdom of loathing is awesome.

You come upon two curly-haired guys sitting beside the road to the White Citadel, flipping a piece of meat in the air and betting on which way up it will land. They introduce themselves as Rosenthal and Goldstern (though you didn't catch which was which), and explain that they were on their way to Hot Dog Heaven when they got distracted by the laws of probability, which have somehow caused this piece of meat to land on the same side seventy-eight times in a row. ("Seventy-nine," says Goldstern, or possibly Rosenthal.) Obviously it must be indicative of something besides the redistribution of wealth.

You spend a few minutes discussing philosophy and Katie Holmes with them, nearly discovering several principles of physics and engineering, and then continue on your way.
