The one about that guy throwing a puppy at a group of Hell's Angels.

Also, is it me or does their math not add up? How on earth is four out of six 80%, or does he get partial credit somehow or whatever?


... he predicted four out of five, and missed making any sort of prediction on one of the games. But when the article writer heard 80 percent and saw that there were six games played, he just shrugged and said, must be four of six. Which would be a rotten estimate if that's the case, because five of six is a lot closer to 80 percent ...
