If that guy came up to me with a wallet I would have just said it was mine and walked off with it. I would decided whether I would hand it in at the police station after I had taken a look through it, and decided whether or not I would pocket the $700!
I think people should learn engineering notation because it is such an easy way to understand incredibly large and incredibly small numbers. The reason why it is so easy is because there is a SI notation associated with every 3rd place value. A 4700uF capacitor is really a 4.7mF capacitor but more often referred to as a fourty-seven hundred micro farad capacitor. On the other side, $14.3 Trillion in debt is like $14,300 Billion or $14,300,000 Million or $14,300,000,000 Thousand in debt.
@HartAHart Because many people pay nothing. In fact, a significant percentage pay NO federal income tax. With tax credits, some households actually get more back than what they pay in. Progressive tax codes are great, but there's too much of a good thing is bad. This one percent the protesters like to claim do not pay their fair share pay nearly 40 percent of all tax revenues the federal government collects.
Funny at 1:16 you see them estimate in 2015 we will have a 14 trillion dollar debt. Right on schedu...er... wait, its the end of 2011 and we are already to 15 trillion. Crap.
@amn3h23h2 He ate a live cockroach on Fear Factor. And he wasn't even the one being challenged to do it. I think Teller is just indifferent about that stuff.
Are you saying 20% goes to not defending the country? what the fuck is that suposed to mean, that makes no sense. Thats like me saying 10% of my sallery goes to non food.
Sure, but no one cares what it doesnt go to, people care what it does go to.
I have no clue. I just think it sounds silly to say ""20% goes to non defense"". Because it sounds like the goverment takes 20% of the money and says ""This will not be used to defend our country"" and then flush it down the toilet or something.
@gulbirk LOL. Non-defence spending is spending on defence that's NON millitary... such as, in America, the FBI, counter-terrorism spending and the Dept of homeland security.
@markod2002 I guessed 1,2,3 too because any "random" guessed numbers aren't *random* because humans like patterns and order. I thought they'd do a segment on that but no, just basic probability.
I love how in this episode the topic (numbers) isnt even what they are trying to prove is bullsht, It turns out they were trying to prove Bullsht is bullsht! Lol
@ltshinta It's all so obvious though. And i was completely put off by their very first trick, which took them 3 minutes to do and showed nothing. If someone couldn't see what they were doing there, then... meh.
penn and teller are bullshit irresponsible idiots...engineers use numbers to calculate stress factor to built buildings n sky scrapper...any mistake in these numbers can cause a collapsed.penn n teller said second hand smoking is bullshit...they r fucking bull shit idiots.y do ppl want to listen to idiots explaining science, when they are scientists...dun talk bout all these, go get ur phd first be4 u start calling ppl bullshit.penn n teller r irresponsible stupid faggot.who do things for money
@underpantssquirrel why the hell would i say physics? why did they ask a professor in sociology to talk about statistic, shouldn't they ask a prof in statistic...think first before trolling.
@radicalteh - Engineers use numbers to calculate stress factors in buildings, but that's physics and it doesn't really apply to this episode.
