A possession charge against Georgia Southern quarterback Shai Werts has been dropped after police determined that there was no cocaine in a substance that Werts claimed was bird poop. Authorities in Clinton County, South Carolina, pulled Werts over for speeding on July 31. When they approached the car, police saw a substance on the hood of Werts' Dodge Charger that tested positive for cocaine in tests conducted in the field.

 

Dude! Where's my car?

 

Back in HS in TN the only clear water to dive in was in quarries. Some of my buddies paid for their diving gear finding cars and getting reimbursed by the insurance companies @ $50 each. That included finding and hooking for recovery. Quarries were often the hang out spots so you could usually snag a cold beer also that someone threw in the quarry. Before the aluminum cans that float.

Girls, girls, girls!!!

But seriously, I wonder what kind of influence is behind this very strange trend.

... in Miejsce Odrzańskie — a village in southern Poland dating all the way back to the 17th century — there hasn’t been a baby boy born in almost a decade.

The odds of 12 successively born children all being female is slightly less than 1 in 4096. Not exactly astronomical.

Yeah ... but the whole town affected by it?

It's been a little more than three decades. But, the current population is only 328. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miejsce_Odrzańskie

@joeyd999 has a point.

A town of 300 persons that had 12 babies in a decade -- all female (assuming I am reading correctly).

 

Here's a thought experiment:

Take the entire world's population, about 7.5B, and divide it into groups of 300 persons.

How many groups? A. 25M groups.

If the odds are 1 in 4096 of something happening in (or to) one of those groups, in how many of those groups will that something happen?

A. 6,103 of the groups.

Such an event may be unlikely, but it will happen when the numbers are large enough.

Looks like the population, dropped by 28, so its exodus that has created the situation, not enough breeding females.
