Talk:Fuzzy dice

message: Does anyone know why furry/fuzzy dice? Was it initially meant to say something about the owners gambling nature, for instance? Loris 19:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Researching this topic, I ran across a lawyer's website (http://www.sheltonlegal.net/html/ask_a_lawyer_.html) shedding a little light on the topic. Basically, he says fuzzy dice are probably not an issue, but may be used as an excuse to stop you for something else. - Striker (talk) 03:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I decided to remove the prod tag. There actually are sources that could be used in the article, like this, this, this, this, etc. Zagalejo^^^ 00:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says that fluffy dice have "since become increasingly rare, especially in cabs" - what was this editor trying to say? That they're rare except in cabs, or that they used to be common in cabs and have completely disappeared from them since? I've deleted the sentence fragment for now. --McGeddon (talk) 15:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The sentence, "Modern usage of the dice has emerged in youth circles to indicate that the vehicle has been used for relations and to indicate a commissioning of the vehicle to ones peers." is so vague it is void of meaning. Relations? If it is sexual relations, say so; don't be coy. If it's Uncle Frank, say it. Commissioning? What?!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.250.226 (talk) 01:08, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I can't seem to find any (reliable) citations regarding the use of the dice in fighter planes, though it sounds reasonable a source can't be found. This is the best I can offer: http://carmemorabilia.about.com/od/Automotive-Collectibles/a/Dicing-With-Death-History-Of-Fuzzy-Dice.htm . The part about Mark Shepard I haven't fonud referrenced anywhere apart from here and places that point to here. I'm a new editor, not sure where to take it from here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr14159 (talk • contribs) 22:33, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations 

message: This section offers many conflicting explanations for the origins of fuzzy dice. Only one of these statements can be true:
* First used by fighter pilots in the 40s
* Invented ("produced the first") in 1952 by Shepherd of Texas Instruments
* Invented ("started the trend") in 1959 by Sundberg and Zavala of Deccofelt Corporation
In addition, the statement that Shepherd produced the first fuzzy dice and gave it as a gift "knowing the original use of the dice" is itself contradictory: how could fighter pilots have used fuzzy dice if they weren't invented yet?
I'm adding the "self-contradictory" template since I'm not sure the best way to fix the issue; I would suggest something prefacing the section like "The origin of fuzzy dice is unclear/disputed/unknown/..." and offer each contradictory claim as a separate possibility.
