Mornin' Mud, Sultan, jla, Meek

Good trivia question! jla did an awsome job, but I see Meek the whiz has it nailed...I didn't know that.

As you know, I like quotes.
Here's a couple'a quotes fer ya' today.

I'd like someone to explain following quote, and try not to fall asleep readin' it:

"Probability distributions that are estimated largely, or exclusively, over cycles excluding periods of panic will underestimate the probability of extreme price movements because they fail to capture a secondary peak at the extreme negative tail that reflects the probability of occurrence of a panic." -- Alan Greenspan
??? what did he say???...

Reporter quote about the Tyson and Tonya fights:
"No one lost an ear, no one lost a kneecap!"

Bwaahahaa! Tyson won, the Pride of Portland, OR lost...

FBD doesn't think that a fight between Tyson and Tonya was fair...where's yer' dignity Tonya?

And this quote, I don't know who said it originaly, but I'd like to know:
"If you're not livin' on the edge you're taking up too much space."

Myself, I like a little space...heh,heh...

I'm off to get me head soaked...catch ya' later.
FRegards,
FBD

Makes about as much sense as when he recently stated, "I don't think any tax cuts are necessary at this time".
