True Facts: Nate Silver’s Next Five Projects

With the rousing success of his projection methodology in a second straight presidential election, proprietor of the internet’s Five Thirty Eight and former baseball-projection savant Nate Silver has captured the attention of Americans everywhere.

Questions and concerns such as these five:

Your Wife: When She’s Divorcing You
Your wife is definitely going to leave you for someone either wealthier or more attractive or both. When precisely is what’s uncertain… for now.

Woody Allen, playing totally against type as neurotic and Brooklyn-born Jewish comedian Alvy Singer, states in his film Annie Hall that “life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.” Is it really decided exactly in half, though? “Probably not,” Silver posits.

Pam and Jim’s First Kiss on TV’s The Office

What Silver intends to do is go back to before the show’s first episode and project when it’ll happen. What he also intends to do is build a time machine, we can also report.

Haters, Proving Them Wrong
“I project that I just did that shit.”
