Just finished watching the old episode where "Otto man" moved in after he lost his job (Skinner covered for him) and home. Man, now I see why people mention the magic of the old episodes. It was sheer classic, man ... classic.

"Have you always been a chick? I mean, I don't mean to offend you...but you WERE born a man right? You can tell me, I'm open-minded!"

Classic, indeed!

Actually, Jim, the last line should be "230 billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion -1 ways to arrange a deck of 54 playing cards".....if you've seen the "dreck" so many times, get it it right.

Well, since it started as "over 230 billion...", subtracting one would still leave it at "over 230 billion..." The exact number of ways to arrange 54 cards is 54! (54 factorial, or 54x53x52x...x2x1). So I suppose it should have either been

---begin--- Over 230 billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion ways to arrange a deck of 54 playing cards,

Over 230 billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion ways...

You shuffle the deck (are you sick of this dreck?)

Over 230 billion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion ways to arrange a deck of 54 playing cards... ---end---

or

---begin--- 54! ways to arrange a deck of 54 playing cards, 54! ways, You shuffle the deck (are you sick of this dreck?) 54! - ways to arrange a deck of 54 playing cards... ---end---

P.S. I don't know why the original one wrapped as it did. I hope this one is easier to read.
