Did you come up with that figure Trap? Wow you really are a mathematics-ician. Like the birth rate in Canada a few years ago was 1.4 children per family. How do I raise 0.4 of a child? I guess schooling would be 0.6 times cheaper.

That 2nd statement is not correct. Various correct ways to say it:
- Schooling would cost 0.4 times (or 40%) as much [as a full child].
- Schooling would cost 0.6 times (or 60%) less [than a full child].
- Schooling would be 2.5 times cheaper [than a full child].

Yes, yes, I did... it is based on the 100 Nigerians I have ever met. 73 of them fell in to the categories I listed earlier, while 26 of them did not. One of them, however, was only 80% as effective at scamming as the other scammers, so I counted him as 0.8 of a scammer

Trap...yer a natural if you ever wanted to become a Republican pollster...

I will be in Jeddah in Novembah. I'm game for some pool. We will be in touch. Maybe you can "pm" me since I have not yet posted the minimum five times.

Looks like the OP has intimidated the legions of "pool players" on these esteemed boards...
