Smirk denied, I'm afraid. The manual (PDF at [1]) says:

> ... which causes the statement to have only the specified percent chance of being executed each time it is encountered in the course of execution."

Only the most willfully perverse reading of that would allow the xkcd approach, and while INTERCAL is undeniably perverse it isn't that sort of perversity.

Of course, none of this affects the fact the GPT paragraph I quoted is a complete fabrication.
