I am VERY excited to announce that I've made my very first Arithmancy prediction! There is an approximate 80% that the world will end in 2019.

Don't think that excuses you from our competition this month, marching band! We're still going to practice like all our lives depend on it. Who knows, maybe they do!

You've been doing this for like a year.

Thomas Bopp was a construction worker with a borrowed telescope who had never observed a comet before co-discovering Hale-Bopp.

[merlinpletcher]

Which takes basically zero skill. That's luck. Doesn't apply here.

[themurderbird]

Still an important scientific discovery. Also, how do you know how much skill it did or did not take him?

[merlinpletcher]

You're getting distracted from the point. Check you math or something.

[themurderbird]

And why am I expected to take commands from you?

[merlinpletcher]

It's not a command. Do whatever you want. I'm just saying your prediction's wrong as-is.

[themurderbird]

Well I am so very grateful to be receiving your expert opinion on the matter.

[merlinpletcher]

I didn't say [...] I'm not an expert. But you're not either. And it's a big claim. That's all I'm saying.

[themurderbird]

You're free to ignore it. It's not like I waltzed into your dorm and started forcing you to stockpile canned goods.

[merlinpletcher]

I intend to.

[themurderbird]

Thank you for informing me.
