2008 Prognostication Quiz: Post 11 of 12

I've waited and waited, but I just don't think we're going to have another hurricane. The hurricane season ended on November 30, but I still held out hope. It was quite a teaser when Paloma turned into a hurricane the first week of last month. That was the eighth of the season. One more hurricane would have meant that I would not end up alone at the bottom of my first annual quiz. That ninth hurricane was not forthcoming. I must finally admit defeat. The answer to question 11 is C. Eleven people predicted this: Matthew B., Sandy, Pete, Megan, Jodene, Jeremiah, Laura, Beth Z., Liz, Jorge, and Rachel.

The eight hurricanes settles two of the intra-relationship grudge matches. With that final extra point, Liz passes Jeff (3 to 2), and Megan passes Rob (4 to 3). (Katie was already going to beat me 2 to 1, Ryan had already squeaked ahead of Heather on a better tiebreak, and Jodene completely thrashed Oraldo 4 to 2.)

This, then, is likely to be the final top of the leaderboard:

1. Matthew B.
2. Sandy
3. Pete
4. Eric
5. Megan
6. Grant
7. Jodene
8. Ekrem

Everyone is invited to join in next year's quiz, too! It has a couple extra questions and will be coming out on Monday, December 29. I will keep everyone posted!

Can You Cross Your Toes?

Katie and I had a heated discussion the night before last. We were sitting on the couch watching Jon Stewart when she noticed a large, apparently cancerous growth sticking out of the bottom of my foot. She asked what the big lump in my sock was. "That's my toe," I responded, nonplussed. I had crossed my first and second toes, causing a lump to protrude from the bottom of my sock. Katie was quite alarmed. "You can cross your toes?" "Sure, can't you? Everyone can cross their toes!" "Of course I can't cross my toes. Who can cross their toes?" And I confirmed that Katie could not, in fact, cross her toes. Even manipulating her toes with my fingers, I could not get her toes to stay crossed. She just has very short toes. That led, of course, into a discussion of who was the freak. Were my long, crossable toes abnormal, or were her stubby, uncrossable phalanges the outliers? In case you're confused, here are some pictures. First, of my v...

Leagalize drugs!

The Economist has a wonderful editorial this week about legalizing drugs. I wholeheartedly agree that the world will be better off by far if the United States legalized, taxed, and regulated illicit drugs such as cannabis, cocaine, and heroin. The goods that will come from legalization: 1. We will save the $40 billion the US spends trying to eliminate the supply of drugs. 2. We will save the costs involved in incarcerating so many drug offenders (as well as gain their productivity in society). 3. We will gain money through taxation on the legal drug trade. 4. Legalized drugs will be regulated, and thus purer and safer to take. 5. With all these savings, we will have lots of money to spend on treating drug addiction as a public health issue rather than as a law and order issue. We will have lots of money to fund treatment programs for addicts that are ensnared by the easier availability of drugs. 6. We will prevent tens of thousands of killings in countries that produce drugs when proc...

Max the Model

Katie sometimes talks to Max about all the things he can grow up to be. "Will you grow up to be a scientist like Daddy, or a lawyer like Mommy?" she will query. In recent days, though, we think Max might aspire to be a model. He LOVES the camera. Point it in his direction, and he is mesmerized by the big lens, giving it a big smile. He will sit for long series of photographs, changing his expressions constantly so we'll be sure to get a good one. This is Katie's recent favorite series (mostly because she thinks he looks so cute in the outfit): This is my favorite series, based purely on the dynamic range of emotions that Max is capable of. I am especially fond of the last picture. So cute!
