Europeans love statistics, there are whole job sectors dedicated to data driven analysis which covers all aspects of our lives from the way we eat to our shopping habits and how often we shit, if you look down a hole far enough it would be pretty scary as to how much personal data is known about us.

LHS Class of 01 Reunion '16
The central arena, once a flat expanse of polished hardwood that had witnessed countless slam dunks and frantic scrimmages, was now a shimmering sea of color and texture. Marc coordinated the placement of round, metallic tables that were covered in shimmering silver cloth, each topped with crystal vases filled with deep‑red roses and white lilies, the flowers’ petals soft against the hard surface.
