Get the Random mug.
An omakase (Japanese for “I'll leave it up to you”) or other tasting menu where the food served is chosen by the chef rather than by the diner. The term is a word play on the mathematical concept of the “random walk,” a mathematical concept used in science, economics and elsewhere, and the use of woks in restaurant kitchens (which is not limited to Chinese restaurants).
We tried the random wok menu at Miyamoto's the other night and it was awesome -- we loved every single dish the chef sent out.

Get the random wok mug.A term coined as the opposite of apophenia (the tendency to see patterns in random noise). Randomania is the compulsive tendency to see randomness in genuine patterns—to dismiss meaningful connections, recurring structures, or significant correlations as mere coincidence. Where apophenia finds meaning where none exists, Randomania finds noise where meaning exists. It's the cognitive bias of the hyper-skeptical, the aggressively rational, the debunker who debunks first and asks questions never. Randomania protects against false positives by guaranteeing false negatives, trading pattern recognition for pattern blindness. In a world full of signal, the Randomaniac hears only static.
"She pointed out that every time her boss travels, the department budget gets cut. 'Coincidence,' he said with Randomania. After the fifth time, it's still 'coincidence.' Patterns don't exist if you're committed to not seeing them. Randomania: pattern blindness as intellectual virtue, skepticism as a failure to see."
