Ha! That's nothing. One time I got 12 yatzees in a row. One day I was playing Yatzee and got 2 in a row. That was exciting but I was impatient so I wrote a program to play for me. Eventually my program made 7 in a row but that was still taking too long. I calculated how long it would take to have a greater than 99% chance of getting twelve in a row and decided I needed to get a life more than I needed to keep the program running. Then I figured as long as it was really the computer doing it and not me it wasn't too much to imagine a Platonic universe where my program already had been run an infinitely long guaranteeing that I got 12 in a row. I don't have a video of it though so kudos to SingingBanana.
