The idea that "hur hur [or 'tee hee', if you prefer], I'm so random" disgusts me mathematically and sociologically.
Wow, man. You must be fun at parties.

Hate when people spoil a good joke with facts...

Like this: knock knock. Whos there? Snow. Snow who? Snow man eats u! Wait snowmen doesn't exist because snow is only water atoms which can't come to life...

I do not know where this came from, but I am compelled to respond.

While mathematically and and sociologically true, we must first discuss the very definition of 'random'. You chose the first and most logical definition, where something is made, done (etc.) without conscious decision or method. The statement you used as further argument, however, can be interpreted differently. When someone says "hur hur [or 'tee hee', if you prefer], I'm so random", it usually implies the other 'random' definition of unusual, unexpected or odd. In a structured and ordered society, this 'random' behaviour can be a lot more common, since it can go against some of its fundamental traits. While everyone has their own idiosyncrasies, when some of these are displayed, the actions may be deemed unusual or unexpected. What defines this as random, actually comes from others, since an individuals actions do not correspond with anything others have thought of before the action started. From this, 'random' behaviour is almost inferred by others, instead of created by the acting individual

In reality, whether "hur hur [or 'tee hee', if you prefer], I'm so random" is random, ultimately is concluded by the definition of 'random' one chooses to use.

So, TechnoProdigy, let's discuss 'fun'.

I can't tell if you're joking, or if you are also a massive stick in the mud (so to speak).
