The hockey team recently spent a day at the race track. They used their government grants to purchase win-place-show tickets for every horse entered in every race.
At the end of the day they announced that they had picked all of the winners correctly, except for the fourth race where all the horses went lame.
Crikey Mann proudly showed off all nine of his winning tickets, along with his Nobel Peace Prize.
Liberals say it doesn’t matter if you win. You get a Nobel Prize for just being there.
Just showing up, like Obama did. You don’t have to BE there–that’s so twenty years ago.

“climate models consistently project that there will be large variations in summer ice extent from year to year.”
Reminds me of arguing with my little brother when I was a kid.
“I pick infinity!”
“I pick infinity plus one!”
Climate models select all possible results, then are applauded for their amazing accuracy.

The probability matters if the horse race was not fixed. Here’s a story from early Colorado:
“Tom Earnest’s course southeast of Fort Collins on the Poudre had five entries in 1874. He outwitted Denver sharpies’ effort to “fix” a race on his track by riding behind his horse and jockey, armed with a .45 revolver and threatening to kill the boy if he didn’t win. It was said afterwards that he was almost first over the line himself, he was so angry after hearing about the plot.” – Fort Collins Yesterdays by Evadene Burris Swanson
The climate sharpies would have been run out of town in the 1870s.
