Sophistication and other fallacies

I was playing Apples to Apples the other night and one of the times that I was the judge the adjective was "sophisticated." One of my friends passed me the card "the midwest." I didn't pick it. Here is why:




Wild has sold out every single home game since the team started in 1990. The arena holds 18,000 seats. Their revenue in 2003 was $79 million. The Guthrie theatre, by contrast, has only 1,100 seats and doesn't always get them filled. They made $10.5 million in 2003. I rest my case.

I was going to write that Wild is ranked 5th in the nation but they've lost the last 4 games in true Minnesota style and now they are 10th. Oh well, Go Wild!
