Never say "never," Elizabeth. Take a good look at the news.
* Scientists have divulged that a 68 million year-old Tyrannosaurus
rex that was unearthed in Montana was not only a female, but that
she was pregnant.
* Dennis Rader, 60 - the BTK serial killer that terrorized Wichita
in the 1970s - gets caught and stands trial.
* Mark Felt, 91, has just revealed his role as Deep Throat in
blowing the lid on the shameful 1974 Watergate cover-up.
Don't despair. Life expectancy in Israel is one of the highest in the
world. As soon as senility kicks in, someone may actually admit that
something was wrong with the NBA. All we need is patience. And longevity.
This was meant to be funny, in case someone didn't get it. But kidding
aside, I would appreciate hearing from some of the people who had made
certain predictions and allegations before the poll started. Some of
them seem to have had little touch with reality. Remember? Teachers are
those who never stop learning. Any lessons learned? Any conclusions made?
