For your friends who think they understand science and math... yet play the lotto
—in a deck of cards—
There are exactly 52 factorial (expressed in shorthand as 52!) possible orderings of the cards in a 52-card deck. In other words, there are 52 × 51 × 50 × 49 × ··· × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 possible combinations of card sequence. This is approximately 8×1067possible orderings or specifically 80,658,175,170,943,878,571,660,636,856,403,766,975,289,505,440,883,277,824,000,000,000,000.
Yup - the odds of shuffling a deck in the same order as some one else is 80 with 22 commas in the number. Not 22 digits long... 80 followed by a number with 22 commas

Get out man. Dont pick on the preggers gal.
I get the joke. Thats funny.
Thats a very sweet picture, that woman excited to see her man coming home and he so blown away to see his baby all giant in his ladies belly.
I love pregnant women. Not kinky, more like I love little babies. Its just beautiful. Like a sunrise.

Dirty D's date putting her makeup on???
I don’t believe you. No girl could be that beautiful, be a good shot and still be a good cook.Technically they're all her guns.
She did a two gun comp with me in November. She's better than me. And she cooks real good.
It’s too good to be true. I bet she can burn water but you don’t want to admit it.
Why does this picture give me a bigger boner than all the previous ones of hot little snaperettes?
I've got some bad news for you...
I let my sow out of the pen and she still wants to wallow. ?
I grew up with the original owner and also the builders of this AMX. Ring Brothers builds exceptional vehicles and their quality and attention to detail takes a back seat to none. All from a town of 662!
1,100 hp will do that to a guy...
Yeah man I noticed that earlier too. There is a minor glitch in the system that sometimes fail to register image links. After you post an image, refresh the page a couple of times. If the image is still there, it should be all right.
Also if you are on a slow Internet connection and is posting a pic via a link, wait for the image to completely load and resolve itself. If you are trying to copy the link and you are getting a paragraph-long string of numbers, chances are that link won't stick in your post. Once the image loads fully, you will get a reasonably sized link that should work on this board. I learned this over a couple of hours of experimenting.
NICE!!
Here is a few more examples of actual historical steampunk-y weapons:
P-08 Luger outfitted with early version of a tactical light. Wondering what the brass fittings on the handle are? As soon as someone picks up the gun, their hand makes contact with both of the metal parts, electrical current starts flowing and activates the light:
Apache "Knuckle duster" circa 1870-1890.
An exclusively Parisian phenomenon. Note: Has nothing to do with the southwestern Native American tribe. "Apache" is a common nickname associated with French gangsters and street hoodlums. Even up to the 1990's biker wars in Canada, the handle "Apache" can be seen on a lot of police profiles.
Folded up:
Savage-North Model 1861 .36 caliber percussion revolver. A partial double-action design, the main loop trigger advances the cylinder and cocks the hammer, while the smaller trigger fires the weapon. Only a few production models were made. They were carried by some Union naval officers during the war:
Will cost you less in the long run!
Don't forget these curios.NICE!!

I know the names of all of those too. Starting from top to bottom: Duckfoot, Pepperbox, Ferguson, LeMat, and Colt Root.
Something is wrong with me.......NOT
We are the type of people that other folks regard as odd. Yet when an emergency arises which results in a contest of arms we are the first ones they look to for salvation.I know the names of all of those too. Starting from top to bottom: Duckfoot, Pepperbox, Ferguson, LeMat, and Colt Root.

We are also art snobs when it comes to creations crafted from steel and wood.
Man, my coworkers and friends always say that when the Zombies come or when there is an NBC apocalyptic attack, they are coming to my place
And I consider the Remington 1858 and the M1911 to be examples of fine art. Functional art too. The thing with us gunnies is that we embrace a hobby that is easily translated into careers and survival skills ( I hold a NY Armed Guard license as well as my CDL so I can find a home in either department...Or both.)

I wonder if someone ever thought about producing a modern rendition of a duck foot pistol that is NOT another variant of a shotgun. Anyway, it's nice to dream.
Ignition would be a problem though. Duckfoot designs work well with flintlocks and caplocks because ignition occurs via a curved flame channel. When the hammer strikes the percussion cap, fire is sent down the cap cone, sometimes amplified by an additional charge dumped in the channel, where it then ignites the main charge in the chamber.
With modern cartridges, that would be an issue. How to direct the force of a hammer/striker right onto the primer of the round? Each chamber of a modern duckfoot would require it's own striking mechanism behind it and the gun would end up being massive, impractically massive.
I likes to take my lady out on the town at the beginning of the month when my EBT card fills up.
Which one are you talking about; the one in the backpack or the one with the pink top on?
These little girls make a father proud.
