Here's some educational Sunday morning fun for you:
1. Check out this ESPN article about sports fans trying to work some action at a distance to help out their teams. This reflects how people mistakenly and irrationally believe that they have some kind of influence over external events that don't directly involve them.
2. This morning's Foxtrot, about using framing to obtain more candy on Halloween.

Nice to see the behavioral economics post Atheendar!
you're alive!
i had lunch with sudi today and it occured to us that neither one of us had heard a word from you since ... whenever that shindig was at sud's apt. the two of us have been buggering around the hospital knee deep in poo [the glories of the GI service...] so perhaps its more our fault than yours.
happy pontificating about behavioural econ and the like,
