I can send you a pdf if you want. Also, I'd like to point out that from a mathematical point of view, streaks WILL always happen even for low probability events. hey thanks Gordo I would love you to send that pdf! The one thing that I do understand is that random events DO tend to cluster. I'm reading a book on violence by Pinker right now and he's discussed that at length with lots of interesting examples. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0ah9d5xgckb4i0i Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borel%E2%80%93Cantelli_lemma#Converse_result And check the infinite monkey problem.
