Misunderstood Probability
I'm guessing the 50/50 chance didn't go in his favor.

Of course if you are dead, there is a 100% chance you will be impotent.

You can't cure stupid.
An instructor in a politics course once pointed that when a candidate gets 45% of the popular vote among three candidates and crows about what an overwhelming victory that is, remember that 55% didn't cast their ballot for them.

BMN: Believe it or not, that turns out to be not true. When a friend of mine went thru dental school, the cadaver supplied to her group came to them with an erection! They nicknamed him "Dead Ernest."

I am curious as to why a dental school would need a cadaver and what do I not know about dentistry where I might end up naked if I have a tooth filled?

They had to study gross anatomy – to have knowledge of stuff outside the mouth, I guess. Also, maybe it was to demonstrate how a patient should not look at the end of his visit?

BMN, I once needed to borrow a model of a skull. I posted a request and ended up borrowing one from a podiatrist. As ViC said, all kinds of doctors need to study gross anatomy even if they're going to specialize in a small part of the body.

@ges -- I can see why you wanted to borrow a model rather than buy a real one: a quick check shows good ones go for $1,200 to $2,000! http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_family.php?id=227
