There have been LOTS of folks who SWEAR that the pogs that WOTC
makes are "rigged".  In fact, a couple of guys flipped Chansey coins over
2,000 times to prove it.  Their experiment showed that the coin landed
Heads 60% of the time.  This is definitely rigged for a 50% coin.

However, their experiment was probably far from completely unbiased,
and I never worry too much about it.  I always ASSUME that I will get
the short end of the stick with coin tosses and TRY to build my decks
and play my games so that coin tosses do not play major factors.
