When elections roll around a lot of people like to "crunch the numbers" in an effort to analyze possible voting outcomes.
But since the Ontario election is pretty, mind numbingly boring, I am looking for other number crunching studies.
For instance, I have come across this analysis examining the correlation between shirt colours and fatalities on the old Star Trek series.
Did you know red-shirted crew members on Star Trek tended to die in groups? Or that in 17 red-shirt fatality episodes, 8 were multiple incidents, 9 were single incidents?
Also, in a little less than 50% of the fatal red-shirt situations, multiple crewmen were vaporized?
Wow, that's just mind boggling.

Gerry I didn't know you were a trekkie!
Matt and I often see a new character on a TV show and go "Uh oh, looks like he pulled the red shirt," or some equivalent.
Fascinating, Captain (sorry -- had to!). Seriously -- when I watch re-runs (which I do), I will keep this in mind.
