Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 08, 2023

You will know the reason when you hear giggling in the sky.

Well, WAOTH, there’s always Murphy’s Law.

Come on Pig. Be more reasonable.

Reasonable doubt I would say!

Actually nothing is truly random. Everything that happens is in a rigid chain of causes and effects. All of space-time came into existence at the Big Bang. Defining everywhere, everywhen, everything, and everyone in an instant. You can do nothing to change anything. Every decision you make today is governed mostly by how much sleep you had, and what you ate yesterday. So relax; enjoy the ride.

Everything happens for a reason but sometimes the reason is that you’re an idiot.

Nobody said it had to be a good reason.

What about Coles’ Law? Delicious!

Buy a lottery ticket

Is the Hill the WA is sitting on a dung heap? So WA is full of ?

It may seem random, but there’s a certain butterfly in Amazonia that keeps flapping a wing.

If you believe God is sovereign over everything, then there is NO CHANCE, no randomness. Your lottery ticket was chosen before you even bought it. Losers, too.

Everything that happens was predetermined at the moment of the Big Bang. Nothing you do changes anything. Give up.

Ain’t that the truth!!

Everything happens for a dried up grape??

“What a twist!”

That’s my motto.

So if I drive my car into a wall, the fact that it smashes was random chance?

Come, WA, do better.

And that reason is Physics.

Well, that’s a sad reason. I’d rather not have my life decided by a roll of the dice. Monopoly is frustrating enough, I cannot imagine living life like that.

The Wise A$$ knows all.

Great wise donkey is sitting on a pile of censorship.

“Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is, you’re stupid & make bad decisions.” ~anon.

It’s not random. There’s a grand plan. We must breed more life, so the fungus has more dead to feed on.

I hate acronyms…. especially obscure ones. I even Googled WAOTH and couldn’t find it listed.

Sounds exactly like the slot machines at the casino. Told to The Count by a friend,,,

So, we’re back to free or not free will.

Entropy, also Brownian motion

If WA is so wise, why does he let Pig and Rat ask him those inane questions time after time?

The otherside of that coin is that there is no coincidence or randomness. Can’t prove either theory conclusivley. However, I opt for that position personally……..

Not applicable to gambling casinos. Poisson

Well, there’s always organized religion. It won’t change anything, but it will give you the illusion that God/the gods has/have a plan for you. I mean, it’s hooey, but it might make you feel better.

Random chance and human ignorance get more done in a day than wisdom accomplishes in a lifetime.

The Wise A$$ is a jerk. How does he keep his “job”?

And why does Pig continue to patronize the Wise A$$? —Well, yeah, Pig is not too bright….
