humor, quantitative scholarship, too stupid to be fiction, You gotta be kiddin’ me!

30,000 pigs floating down the river in the recent Aussie floods? Didn’t that seem like…well…like a LOT of pigs?

Sometimes quantitative literacy is really, really simple, if you just pay attention.

Update (8 February). Maybe 30,000 isn’t too unreasonable a number!
