The pearl was found on a restaurant? Wouldn't the sharp angle of the shingles on the roof make the pearl run off, onto the ground?

I'm falling.

Weird ...

I was wondering about something in the past days . About changes and error in printed material .Like rare monetary bills or that rare stamp that was erroneous printed with a inverted aircraft.

The image of this rare seal was posted on the AOL NEWS QUIZ, including a question about the Rare Purple Pearl! Nice site ...

I was also a little skeptical about it.

Ok, here comes a little history.

I had a higher score for Hotbits (a RNG test), it scored : 57 positive hits.

Final score: 57

3.5625 standard deviations

Significance: 2.042268747044712E-4. A score

of this many hits can be

expected by chance every 4896

runs.

Since the result is considered Significant enough, there was a possibility of play this number on some Lottery.

Ok, I was thinking about how the New Year was on Santa... [ More ]

Just want to comment that when I made the above remark about must be a really slow news day I wasn't being sarcastic or referring to anyone on LP. I was talking about the media and how this story seems to be popping up everywhere, and I just saw it on Yahoo's home page.

I know the ending. We're going to find out she brushes her teeth with Pearl Drops. I hope they don't have financial problems in the future and blow whatever they get in a clams casino. Thing they are just stringing us... [ More ]

When we saw this on the news last night first thing we thought of was THE LUCK FACTOR.

And the fact that it was a clam, not an oyster.

Now we're wondering of the restaurant is going to say they had posession because people people pay fopr their meals after they eat.

Ut oh.

Not to mention that somewhere out there is at least one person who might have been the one to get that pearl, but told their SO they're not big on seafood!

Same story, lottery player version:

Maybe she had it in her pocket when they sat down to eat and knew such a story would make the headlines! It's not only rare, but the pearl itself is rare, purple in color. The article said he bit into something very hard. Hmm. Good thing it wasn't a piece of glass or the restaurant wouldn't be getting good press, but a lawsuit instead. LOL

Pac, yuck-yuck-yuck. I like your clam puns. I really dig them.

Oysters produce pearls. A pearl as we know it; round and lustrous, has to be a rare occurence from a clam.

I wrote about it in my blog earlier today. The link is there. It's also in several newspapers if you google some key words like pearl and restaurant Must be a really slow news day.

Do you have a link to the article you are talking about

Yeah, but how many millions of opened clams eaten were thrown away which had no pearls in them? That couple shelled out 10 bucks for the clam dinner. They won't be sharing the money after they sell it because an article I read said that this couple was very shellfish.....

I personally don't believe it. The whole story sounds a little fishy. By looking at their pictures, you can tell they looked half-baked anyway.

Pearl found on Restaurant.

Some people get something unusual.

Florida, 31/12/2007.

The page is on the AOL new site.

Is this true!?

What did you expected?

And some people still complain about the probabilities of the lottery ... Now, thinking about the old discussion about the pearl!!!
