THROWING OUT THE ROTTEN HALF OF THE XMAS TREE (DEAD WOOD)
Edited on Thu Dec-30-04 08:30 PM by TruthIsAll
Nov 3, 2004 12:22AM:
Simon/SCOOP exit poll downloads from the NET	
(CNN thought no one was watching)

47 state exit polls
16 beyond the MARGIN OF ERROR - all for Bush

Probability (P) of any given state vote exceeding the 
Exit Poll MOE for Bush: 
             P = 2.50% (1 out of 40) 

Probability of at least 16 states: 
****** IMAGINE WINNING THE POWERBALL TWICE IN A ROW *******

Red Shift probabilities for various number of states
N = Number of states exceeding the MOE for Bush

14. Phew. Back to business.
And promise you'll be sticking around.

And it is shaped like a Christmas tree! Very cool.

Why, I was just reading that "The American logician and philospher Charles Peirce was much interested in the visual analogue of poetic onomatopoeia. Among his unpublished papers is a copy of Poe's The Raven, written with a technique that Peirce called 'art chirography,' the words formed so as to convey a visual impression of the poem's ideas."

So you're in good company, as usual.

:toast:
