Another UK Terror Busts Nets Yet Another Broad Strata of Society

"Thought mainly to be young British Muslims of Pakistani origin."

We could do a pool on these things, like they do for Superbowl scores. "Young men" would be like drawing a "3" out of the hat, "Muslims" would be the coveted "7," and "of Pakistani origin" would be like drawing the wonderful "0."

All other possibilities would be like drawing the dreaded 9 or 5. Actually, it's worse than that; you could fluke into a 9 with a lot of field goals and a 5 with 5 touchdowns.

So, really, all other possibilities would be like drawing "4 square roots of pi to the ith power" from the hat.

Unless the scoring system changes to permit square roots, pi, and imaginary numbers, you're just not going to win any money.
