On a serious and personally upsetting news. Apparently, even for us vennies that have visas the government is only stamping our entries for a maximum of 28 days, instead of the customary 180.
The ridiculous part is that there are no Venezuelan mafias; if they really wanted to go after criminal organizations that national, we would be way low on the list.

If you randomly shuffle a deck of playing cards (52) the resulting exact card order has virtually certainly never happened before and never will again till the end of the universe. Statistics and probability are so counterintuitive sometimes...

Another funny factoid: if India had the same population density as Australia's Northern Territory there would be only 630k Indians.
