I thought some of you might be interested in the fact of this, I was not aware of it, even if not in the math of it.

Abstract: For five years, a group of MIT students exploited a loophole in the Massachusetts State Lottery to win game after game, eventually pocketing more than $3 million. I'll talk about how they did it, why they got away with it, the mathematical notions of expected value and variance, and the surprising relationship of all this with projective geometry. - See more at: http://www.maa.org/m...y#sthash.LgYaF9

Actually, I think THIS cat video is the best ever, if you don't mind a little profanity (the f-bomb, s***, and hell). His videos on Cleveland Tourism are also hilarious.

The material for this new album has been recorded during the "Division Bell" sessions around 1993/94. Instrumental works remastered now with adding Gilmours vocals.

Waters was not involved in these activities, no need for word about him.

That is hilarious, and sad at the same time. I just hope the guy is hydrated and warmed up his vocal cords before reading off those 4000+ names (and with 24 days to go, who knows how many more people will sign up!). The best part is, I live close enough that I am tempted to give just so I can go chill out at this dining hall and eat me some potato salad!

EDIT - I have never been on Kickstarter before, it's actually a very interesting website.

In a condemnatory speech last week against the Obama administration’s new Environmental Protection Agency carbon emission regulations, Kentucky state Sen. Brandon Smith ® claimed that man-made climate change is scientifically implausible because Mars and Earth share “exactly” the same temperature.


And who would know more about planetary temperatures than an owner of a Kentucky coal mining business, eh?
