    The Nazi dictator is believed to have had a hidden genetic disorder known as Kallmann syndrome, which can thwart the development of sexual organs, according to a stunning new documentary analyzing his biological makeup.

    The condition, which can also inhibit the normal progression of puberty, means Hitler had a 1-in-10 chance of having a micropenis, the Times reported.

        Imagine you’re going to have a surgery and the doctor tells you there’s 10% chance it will go wrong and you will lose your dick. What would you say about your chances?

            Interesting. I would say that if it’s unlikely then the risk is small. I would also say 10% is pretty likely. For drugs 1-10% chance of a side effect means it’s a common side effect.

                So I’ve check and ‘likely’ can be defined as “Within the realm of credibility; plausible.”/" Possessing or displaying the qualities or characteristics that make something probable." which I would say makes 10% likely but also as “having a high probability of occurring or being true : very probable” which would make 10% unlikely. Depends on which dictionary you check :)

          Imagine every time you flip a coin there’s a 10% chance you get free ice cream.

          I’d call that one in ten chances.

      Well, the only way we can know for sure is through experiment. We should clone a bunch of Hitler babies and see if any of them come out with micro-penises. Of course, we couldn’t do it in Germany for obvious reasons, and the chance of them recognized in America is still a little too high. Maybe somewhere in South America… like Peru… or Chile… or somewhere in that neighborhood…
