Came across this interesting fact after viewing the powerpoint slides by Farmer and Atchinson (infamous Houston hotel rackus). Chances of the Earth being swung away from the Solar System by the gravitational pull of a passing star - 1 in 2.2 million. Chances of winning UK lottery - 1 in 13.9 million. We can thus infer, it is 7 times more likely for the Earth to depart from the Solar System, and hence obliterated, than the chances of a English dude striking it big in the lottery.

Have been swimming quite alot over the past week. It is a healthy hobby, and darn cheap as well.

After my driving test, I intend to seek a real job. Probably a temporary administrative assistant. It gets very annoying when ALL the damn meagre temp admin jobs require people to possess a minimum of 2 years adminstrative experience. If every damned lowly job demands that, where the hell can people like me EVER get a single second of practical experience?!

It is crucial for me to be on form during the driving test. Realise that things can screw up real bad if the form is not present. That was kinda what happened, when I made several stupid mistakes in the circuit during my previous driving lesson. Ah well.

Michael Connelly is a good author. Do check him out. His books contain riveting plots, but yet easy to read.

Peace.
