I was going to say “so will you take eternity or trade it for what’s behind door number 2”?
You are supposed to trade, because picking one of two stands a better chance of success than one of three.
All this time we’ve been trying to figure out the Monty Hall problem, and he was still around to ask directly?
It is too late now. :dubious:
I wonder if they kept records.
If so, they are either in filing cabinet 1,2, or 3.
Behind Door #1 is…a coffin!
Maybe he flunked the ‘lady or the tiger’ two-door problem.

Just saw on Facebook that Dave Strader has died.
Points for me…
I just came in to say Dave Strader. I am so sad. He was “The Voice” of Hockey for a long time and the voice of the Dallas Stars recently, until he got sick. Even if I had points I’d still be sad. Going to miss hearing him. Only 62. So not fair.
Award winning poet John Ashbery died almost a month ago at age 90. He would have fit my theme, but I did not have him on my list.
Unique Pick, and 38 Points.

Sad news: Tom Petty appears to have died from a sudden heart attack…
Well, fuck. 
CBS confirms it.
https://twitter.com/CBSNews?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author
He won’t Come Around Here No More…
Holy fuck!!!
For the first time in a really long time this shocked me. I mean literally; I felt it from my neck to my toes
I think 2017 has been a real shit of a year and I will be very glad when it’s over.
Indeed.
I had him pegged for next year’s list.
Coincidently Charlie T. Willbury Jr also died.
Petty’s death is a real heartbreaker…
Don Malarkey, who was one of the featured people in Band of Brothers dead at 96.
