Why would is_computer_on_fire() return a double and not true/false? Even for a joke function, this seems like bad practice. If the function is named is_state(), I expect a boolean return.

> Returns the temperature of the motherboard if the computer is currently on fire. Smoldering doesn't count. If the computer isn't on fire, the function returns some other value.

Wonder if this is a throwback to the HCF command.

Maybe it’s a probability function. Something like “hey there’s a .7 percent chance your computer is engulfed in flames”

Constant probability function. (Please be precise!)
