Quote

"The odds of hitting the Lotto 6/49 jackpot by plunking down a toonie and picking all six numbers are one in 13.98 million.

To put that in perspective, math gurus say those odds are roughly equal to your chance of dying within 15 minutes of buying your lottery ticket - or flipping a coin and getting 24 tails in a row.

You are also somewhere between 14 and 50 times more likely to get struck by lightning, depending on who's doing the calculations, they say." - Macleans.ca

"Brave stories that authentically and straightforwardly reflect the director’s inner and outer world. They are seldom funny. Like the time of comedies is maybe over." - The 54th International Filmfestival Mannheim-Heidelberg

Poetry

The Way I See It: No. 23

Chances are you are scared of fictions.
Chances are you are only fleetingly happy.
Chances are you know much less than you think you do.
Chances are you feel a little guilty.
Chances are you want people to lie to you.
Perhaps the answer lies on the side of a coffee cup.
You are lost.

— David Cross, Comedian
