In the text of the article there are words: "we could always roll snake-eyes in the evolutionary crapshoot" I'm not an English native and I cannot grasp the precise meaning of the "to roll snake-eyes". What does it mean? Does the rolling of snake eyes somehow different from rolling human eyes? Or maybe snakes cannot roll their eyes(?) and... I don't know.
Would someone be so nice to explain this, please?
- jeffmcjunkin 7y ago"Rolling snake eyes" means rolling two ones on six-sided dice. In many games that's a bad throw, as it only adds to two out of a possible twelve.
