When Did the Rules Change?

As far as I know, a Full House does still beat a straight or a flush, though that doesnt mean that there arent some oddities in the way hands rank in poker though..
I've always thought it wierd that a Flush beats a Straight.. I mean, statistically , you're more likely to make a flush than you are a straight, yet the flush still wins..

and lets not forget about 3 of a kind, which with any two cards, is a 2 or a 3 out hand.. far less likely to hit trips than to catch a flush or a straight.. Anyone else ever thought this was strange or know why it is like this?

It is not statistically more likely you will make a flush then a straight.
