I've got an experiment you can try in the comfort of your own home, that will prove this theory (without committing yourself to 18+ years of child raising).

Take three six sided dice. The magic number is 6-6-6. Now, mathematically, we have a 1/216 chance of throwing three 6's. That's a better than 99.5% chance of NOT throwing the magic number (similar to most birth control success rates). Now, toss the dice once. Did you get all three 6's? No? Well, I must have been wrong then. Do me a favor, though. Toss the dice 300 more times. Sooner or later, you're going to throw the magic number.

By the way, I'm a father of three. My first child disproved the pill. My second child disproved Depo Provera. And the third child was abstinence, which I'm still trying to figure out. Just kidding, he was Norplant.
