the shrewdness of apes

remember when the government was thinking about taking bets on where and when terrorist attacks would occur? what kind of odds do you think you could get for the upcoming Athens Olympics? they're behind schedule on just about every major project, they've now scrapped plans to even put a roof over the pool, security concerns continue to mount, and we're not exactly talking about the most politcally stable place on earth as it is. i doubt even the government would be dumb enough to give you even odds on that. we will be happy to watch, but glad that we're at a safe distance from the action, athletic and otherwise.
