If you draw a card at random from a shuffled deck, whatever card you get had a 1/52 chance of being selected; this is only surprising if you predicted in advance that it would be that specific card.

So clearly, if I write another post on this, I'll have to call it "Was Your Card the Ten of Diamonds?"
