Conglomeration of short posts

I've currently got a few short posts bouncing around in my head, so I'll just throw them all together into one.

The past few nights, I've noticed that the crows have left the area around the lake. What am I supposed to do with my evenings if I can't scare them off with my laser pointer? I feel like my life has lost a lot of meaning since my archenemy is now gone.

I think my left thumb is broken--most likely a stress fracture. It hurts when I put pressure on it, and I first injured it during the ISU-Ok State game. Yes, I injured it on November 7, the same day I got chemical burns from the leaky blower. That was a great day to be me. Wikipedia says it may take months to heal, so I guess I'll have to take it easy on my thumb.

DISCLAIMER: I am not advocating bike theft. Bike theft is illegal. I'm only talking probabilities.
There are a lot of bikes left on campus. I wonder why people just leave them. Do they think that no one will try to steal it? I guess since it's small-town Iowa, it's unlikely, but still. Some of these bikes have the 4-digit combination locks--only 10,000 possible combinations. However, it's unlikely that the combination will be all even or all odd numbers, so that eliminates 1,250--now down to 8,750. It's also unlikely that the combination will follow the pattern of ABBA or ABAB, which account for 190 combinations--100 in each pattern, but 10 of these follow both--but half of these will be either all even or all odd, so take off 95--down to 8,655 likely combinations. Another unlikely combination pattern is a simple step-progression, or 1234, 2345, 9876, 8765, etc. Since 0 could be high or low in this, that means there are 16 combinations that follow that pattern--now only 8,639 likely combinations. It's also unlikely to have the same number twice in a row--the first two, middle two, or last two. There are nearly 3,000 (I know, I'm no longer exact--don't worry, the world's still spinning) that have the same digit twice in a row, but 375 are all even or all odd, 45 of the rest are ABBA, and therefore already eliminated, so let's call it 2,500. That brings us down to around 6,100 likely combinations. Assuming 5 seconds for each tested likely combination, that means only 8 and a half hours to test them all. Even if I'm wrong about the likely combinations, and it's one of the unlikely ones, it still doesn't take 14 hours to test all 10,000 possible--and it shouldn't even take the full 5 seconds to test each one. Do these bike owners really think that no one has that much time on their hands, or do they just not care about their bikes? On a related note, I wonder what the university will do at the end of the year if some of these bikes are still there.
