Freakonomics

[stan2reason]

I'm horribly behind-the-times but I finished Freakonomics this past weekend. What a great read! I've not read a book that so concisely illustrates the human desire to believe conventional wisdom. For the one or two people out there that still haven't read it--run, don't walk to the Bookstore/Amazon/Costco/Sam's Club/Shady Street Vendor to get your copy.

Personally, the part on lower crime rate being directly attributable to abortion is fascinating.. And, if I might say so, is completely understandable given his evidence.

Well that comment alone has convinced me to give it a tickle. It's on order.

The guy who used to let me live in his master bath dressing room took a dvd course in statistics. The only thing I got out of it was:

The average American has 1 testicle and 1 ovary.

A man named Grumpy did call
“I want the attention of all!
Let’s breakfast at nine
Then some golf will be fine
I’ll bring an egg and a ball!”

I guess that makes Lance Armstrong 1 ovary short of being average?
Could I infer that the average american also has 1/2 a penis?
I'm feeling pretty good about myself all the sudden. I'm like
almost twice the average! :)

See, now that's why we'll never have lots of females on here... They run away when they see men talking about having a penis 2x the average... lol
