Adrenaline has just that effect. When you are scared or feel threatened, the body produces Adrenaline which makes you feel less pain and temporarily allows you to use your full strength to fight or flee. Normally that lasts only a short time, but in this case the 'safeties' might be off and the result much stronger.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I know! Stoopink question. But, yes, I've looked.
Basically, I have a tip/trick I want to share which isn't enough for an article. So how do I do that?

Articles Menu -> Post your Article or Tip -> Change the dropdown to Tip/Trick.
Not that hard, eh?

Nope. Funny I had just found it there.

THE BIRTHDAY PARADOX
We probably all heard about it... And I'm not asking you to look the math up in Google, but I would like to have a good verbal explanation of it... Mostly about the paradox thing...
I'm specially interested in 23 - does it a special number in any way? Does it mean, that after passing the age 23, half of the people will celebrate their birthday on the same day I do?

Because if the answer was 42 (the right answer), a year would be about 1270-some days, and that's WAAAY too long.

Exactly my problem... As the ultimate answer is 42, how that the maths say 23?! Something have to be wrong, but I can't find it...

There's nothing special about 23, and it's certainly not a paradox; it's just the number where it is statistically 50-50 likely/unlikely.
40 is the point where it becomes statistically unlikely that there won't be* two people with the same birthday.
Probability calculation is easy; you'll pick it up in minutes. Try working the numbers yourself.
* It's better to work it out that way around, e.g. you could say that an intersection is an absolute certainty if there are 366 people, but that's not very useful -- you have to look into how unlikely it is that there would be only one intersection.

I have a similar pair to those to go with my unused Walkman from about the same time.

Brand new model available on EBay[^] for $20. Too bad the seller won't ship to Canada. And it's not worth the hassle to have him ship to NY state and drive across the border.
