financial sense online (courtesy of BF) financialsense.com says QUOTE . The one thing that is not anticipated by economists and analysts in their financial forecast is the unexpected events. These are the rogue waves that lurk beyond the horizon. They can appear out of nowhere and suddenly create havoc and destruction. Interestingly rogue waves usually come in sets. When one appears, they are usually followed by others. There is no room for another 9-11. Looking at the economic and political landscapes around the world, there are plenty of wild cards that could throw any forecast off course. I’ll name just a few. Any one of them could be a confidence shaker. Japan’s Economy The Derivative Book of U.S. Banks and Brokerage Firms The Middle East The War Against Terrorism Emerging Market Economies in Argentina, Turkey, & Asia UNQUOTE The first three were on my mind for some time, the next two, oh well... But add on top of it news like "President, after his 3rd case of fainting on pretzels, promises his mom and the nation to kick the pretzel habit...Vicepresident, during his weekly check-up "who, me? Gotta be kidding, fit as a fiddle"

>>He fell off a couch?...what onto?...a brick floor?<< The carpet. Which can be pretty abrasive to skin if you fell from a height and hit at an angle. I skinned my knee on a carpet once. Thanks for the input, the event did seem strange. OTOH, the guy runs a seven minute mile.

>>His face looks like somebody slugged him. He fell off a couch?...what onto?...a brick floor?<< Hyperbole, Jim. His left cheek has a bruise that is maybe one and a half inches in diameter. My son fell 18" onto a wool carpet and his forehead bore the bruised imprint of the weave of the carpet for a week.
