Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred.-FDR

Stupid Statistics

Some people are desperate to turn the least important aspect of a game into something significant.

Of the 43 Super Bowls, the team that won the pregame coin toss has won 20 times and lost 23, a .465 winning percentage, and has lost 10 of the last 13.

Uh, okay. And this is suppose to mean something? I wish people would just say it's symbolic and shut the fuck up, but no, people are obsessed with superstition. But this really got to me:

The game's coin traveled into space with the shuttle Atlantis in November.

Isn't that the craziest fucking thing you've ever heard?

Of course what is even dumber than the coin toss are the celebrities that show up to do the toss or worse, stand there and watch.
