I was holding out hope for a monster, too, or even a Black Swan of the Nassim Taleb variety -- that one radical and unprecedented event that changes everything. But sure enough, we get a white goose ... : )

Agreed. A white goose aka the "golden goose".. : )


BTW well played reference Adam, It seems that I 've unintentionally incorporated Taleb's theory in a post typed while driving to the office..

I must increase the dosage of my moderator's pills asap.

Funny you say that.. I thought the same thing watching the video.. "Wow I need that".. Good news is that those won't be as easy to knock off as the plastic spoiler... On my last of 3 now..

With the thread frenzy this morning, you're earning your keep.

* As a rule, road safety experts frown upon "posting and driving".
