- Let me offer 12-hours worth of phone calls as a refinement to this
- theory. Beside calling everyone in my book, including old girlfriends I haven't
- spoken to in five years (and now I know why) I found the following:
-
- * Six extremely white, old-money type people had even middle numbers.
- * Again, NOT ONE PESON had an odd middle numberthat wasn't white.
- (excuse the double-negative)
- * EVERY African-American, Jew, Hispanic had an even middle number.
- * Very few even numbers exist, yest ALL of their owners were white, with
- the sole exception of a very white ex-girlfriend who had a Grandmum from
- Cuba from before the Revolution.
-
- Just judging from the ratio of even:odd numbers v.s. the number of people
- I spoke to, and using my fading knowledge of crap that I pieced together and
- adapted from Merzbacher's book (which is probably all wrong considering how
- much goofing off I did in grad school) I would say something kinda scwewy
- is goin on.
