XKCD comic, described below.
Transcript

[Cueball, holding a basketball in front of him in both hands, is looking up at the basketball hoop in front of him. The hoop is on a standard board, but at the foot of the rod holding the hoop, there seems to be growing grass up, indicating it is outside.]

Cueball: Okay, here are the rules:

Cueball: I have to make 30 shots in a row before a meteor falls through the hoop.

Cueball: I'm a 30% free throw shooter so the odds are actually pretty even.

Cueball: Ready...Go!
