<p>(2) Out of the entire world&#8217;s male population from the ages 18 &#8211; 35, a certain unknown percentage of men will have &#8220;long hair&#8221; on their heads, according to our definition.</p>
<p>Given (1) and (2), would you estimate that the percentage of male professional soccer players in the world with &#8220;long hair&#8221; on their heads is greater than the overall percentage of men (age 18 &#8211; 35) with &#8220;long hair&#8221; on their heads?</p>
<p>If so, why? If not, why not?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know how a lot of restaurants put a bit of their &#8220;background story&#8221; inside their menu?</p>
<p>At a small restaurant in Bangalore I noticed this little blurb, and one line in particular struck me as odd.</p>

<p><em>Located at Rayal Comforts on 5th floor, Attic is a cool place to eat, drink and to freak out.</em></p>
<p>Really? To freak out? Is that what you want people to associate with your restaurant? Is that what you want people to <strong>DO </strong>at your restaurant? Really!?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just around midday yesterday, I was driving through the Lincoln Tunnel, heading into New York City. I was underground and under water, literally.  I was driving <em>under</em> the Hudson River. My GPS device had long since given up its hunt for a satellite signal.  So you can imagine my surprise when my cell (mobile) phone rang.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.chickenmonkeydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/the-call.jpg" alt="A call from 1" title="A call from 1" width="320" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3916" /></p>
<p>Whose telephone number is &#8220;1&#8243;?!? God? The President of the United States, calling from the White House?</p>
<p>As I was driving, my passenger answered the call &#8212; about which I was more than a bit jealous.  The caller didn&#8217;t leave a name, but promised to send an email.  Unfortunately, none of the emails I received yesterday indicated anything about calling me earlier in the day.</p>
<p>I remain in the dark as to who has such a cool phone number. </p>
