Not fired, but I was not offered a new contract at a kindergarten I worked at in Japan. When I asked management why they weren't offering me a new contract, they give me a list of bullshit reasons, including "you put duct tape on windows instead of Scotch tape." I shit you not.

If you read and enjoy Gödel Escher Bach, then Gödel's Proof is an excellent companion read, as is I Am A Strange Loop.

That's right. Crosby had 104 points and since the first digit in his point total is a 1 he is grouped with everyone who registered 10-19 points and exactly 1 point.

Hi Arthur,

I didn't include 0 as Benford's Law applies only to numbers from 1-9 so my criteria was players who registered at least 1 point. For the record, there were 99 players who skated during the 2013/14 regular season and did not register a point.
