After hearing about James Cameron’s miraculous “discovery” of “Christ’s tomb”, I couldn’t resist. (That’s Dundee Avenue by the way, if you don’t recognize it.)

It was reported that the probability of getting that assemblage of names randomly is 600 to 1, though one statistician said it is as high as 100 to 1. If only we could get probabilities like that for the lottery! In a city the size of Elgin, a 600 to 1 probability would mean we’d have about 150 lottery winners (or “winning” tombs). If we use the 100 to 1 probability, there would be about a thousand such winners or tombs. That’s not very impressive at all, is it?

I still like the car wash idea though.
