Since 1980, 63 grizzlies have been hit by trains and killed along a section of railroad near Glacier National Park. Many died because they got drunk on fermented grain spilled from railcars and couldn’t move fast enough to outrun the trains.

      They only live in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, so there’s a 33.3% chance of it being in Montana.

        No, it’s 50%. They either live in Montana or not.

          By that logic, every person has a 50% chance of living in Antarctica. Either they live there, or they don’t. Hell, every sports team has a 50% chance of winning a championship. Either they win one, or they don’t. Every person has a 50% chance of becoming president of North Korea too.

          I could go on, but I’m already bored.

            Every one of your examples are correct.

            Sigh. It was obviously a joke.
