Almost Too Easy...

A piece of spam just slipped through the university's filters, probably because it's written in either Chinese or Japanese. There's no content, but only an attachment, with suffix ".xlsx" (Excel?). Of course, I'm not opening it. I'm rather tickled, though, by the "From:" field: "noob@pk.com". Sorry, Charlie, but a n00b I ain't.

Someone Actually Counted This

The San Diego Padres have played a total of forty-five seasons in the National League - 7166 regular season games. They have been in first place for 984 games (~14% of the time), and in last for 2439 games (~34% of the time).

That's my team. For the last forty-five years, if someone asked you, "Who's in last in the NL West?", you could guess the Padres, and have better than one chance in three of being right.

Masochism City.
