Bright side of life

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Just thought of another coincidence. I shared an office with a colleague. We had a radio in the office that we sometimes turned on. I would always prefer the classical music station (ABC FM in Victoria, Aus) to work to while he always preferred one of the old eighties rock stations. This was a bit of joke between us and we'd tease eachother by turning on our preferred stations. One day we were chatting and joking around and started singing Always Look on the Bright Side of Life from Monty Python's Life of Brian. My colleague suggested that there would be better singing on the radio and turned it on. It was on the classical music station and guess what was playing? - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life. In all the years I've listened to ABC FM I have never heard that station play anything but classical music. Needless to say we both were stunned.
