Dice

I don't know about many other people, but I like to roll my own dice. I have a strange dislike for digital dice rollers and I do not like using other people's dice. Note that I do not have a problem lending my own dice to others, but for some reason, I don't like using other people's. Strange, and I don't believe it's superstition or anything like that, but for some reason I am paranoid about my rolls. To some extent, I believe in the Dice Gods and to some other extent I believe that Dice are random.

Last night however, I read an article on determining if dice are weighted or not. Now, I should've started by saying that this all came about because of my interest at rolling through a dice tower I just constructed of plexiglass. For some reason, my big bag o' dice ( d6's from a game called "Stack") has not rolled under average once when doing large amounts of rolling (roll 10 dice, nothing below a 32 total result). I found this peculiar so I scowered the web trying to find out how to determine if these are weighted or not. Turns out, you can use Epsom Salts in water to see how they float, after trying to combine the two (and failing) I was able to test some of my dice and determine that they are weighted towards certain numbers, but after test rolling them after they dry, they usually fall towards the opposite (and never spot on either of the two poles). Very Peculiar I find, if anything, my little test with epsom salts has shown that regardless of a weight going towards a certain number, the dice do generally come up random...

So perhaps the Dice Gods do exist after all?
