“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

It must be animal-theme day


You may remember the Octopus that accurately predicted the Soccer World Cup outcome. In an article describing his curious ability to pick sports outcomes, the SI reporter who obviously has never bet on sports, offered this gem....

From SportsIllustrated -- Probability experts were quoted in media reports saying the likelihood of getting eight consecutive picks right is 1/256.

As if it takes an MIT graduated "probability expert" to multiply 1/2 by itself, 8 times. It's not rocket science, dude.
