    More Deep Thoughts:

    A typical digitized picture on your computer screen is 640 pixels long by 480 pixels wide, for a total of 307200 pixels. Using only 256 different colors, you can get decent resolution. Now if you take 256^307200 (256 times itself 307200 times) you get... well, a pretty big number, but a finite number nonetheless.

    That's the number of different images you can have of that particular size. Any picture you would scan into a computer at that size and resolution will necessarily be one of those images. Therefore, contained in those images are the images of the faces of every human being who ever lived along with the images of the faces of every person yet to be born.

    How’s that for random?

    I guess that would also include a picture of all of those folks with every car logo, in the past or future, slapped on their forehead. :lol:

    i say no.. but i voted yes to throw the pole off :) muahahahaha

    I have to agree with Mystery Squid. Everything can probably be computed in some way.

    But only because i want to do his icon.. hey.. Squid.. hook a brotha up :)

    So.. my questions. Are solar flairs from the sun predictable?
