Million-to-one odds happen eight times a day in New York.
Penn Jillette
Note to self: every day, eight million things happen in New York.
I’m guessing the number comes from the population of New York city: about 8 million.
Wow, New York must be a pritty boring place to live in.
Events with million-to-one odds of happening in one day to one person happen eight times a day in New York—on average.
Hm. And I thought I was being original when I liked to say ‘billion to one odds happen 7 times a day on Earth’.
Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.
