Assume a weekly lottery that draws six numbers from the series 1 through 40, with no duplicates. Statistically speaking, am I better off repeatedly playing the same six numbers selecting six numbers at random each week? It seems to me that if (in a (...)

(...) Wow! I've been toying with the Dread Eye's Phantom as well and was extremely impressed. This review is extremely detailed and 100% accurate. It is a little unrealistic that the entire ship is said to be carved from the skeleton of a whale. (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

Hi all! I've been awaiting a lego pirate ship that is up par...u pirate people know what i mean. I have Captain Redbeard's pirate ship, which i thought was decent. The ship is lacking in authenticity and is quite simple to piece together. However, (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

Addendum—boy, am I a knucklehead. The Dragon does have a cluster of four studs at the middle of its back, exactly positioned for a minifig to sit upon it. While penning my dazzlingly eloquent review, I had the wings swept back in such a way that the (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

This is from the Dragons: Metal Ages series, continuing the line of “Dragon Eggs” that we’ve seen before (but now better, IMO). In brief, each set is a large egg containing a single dragon figurine in ten pieces. I haven’t previously been thrilled (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jun-05, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
