She doesn't like Cougar Town. Or so she says.

Sounds like a smoke screen to me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Were the San Francisco Giants #1? « Math Goes Pop!

Last month, I posted a review of a new book titled “Who’s #1?” on the mathematics of ranking and rating – if you’re interested, you can purchase a copy via the Amazon sidebar on the right. Today I’d like to study the San Francisco Giants with one of the techniques used in this book: the offense-defense rating method.

Why the Giants? It’s really just a personal preference. For the non-Giants fan, though, it’s worth pointing out that the Giants won the World Series in 2010, but failed to even make the playoffs in 2011. Let’s try to investigate why this is the case. Baseball fans may have their own explanations for this observation, but for a moment let’s focus on the math.

Jeez, talk about going out stupidly: [link]

This US Army brigade commander in Iraq falls in love with a local girl, funnels tens of thousands of dollars to her family of US nation-building funds, then takes her to Montana and marries her--without first divorcing his American wife! Who only finds out when her medical insurance is cut off, because he enrolled the Iraqi wife instead.

People are amazing.
