halo.jpgI am the velvet mantis, and I am no good at Halo Live. To date, I have 145 loses and 2 wins. That’s a 1.3% winning percentage. Basically, I have a slightly better chance at winning a Halo match than I do of living to be 116 (1 in 2 Billion). The odds are also in my favor when comparing it to the chance of me getting killed by a dog (1 in 700,000). Additionally, I will probably win another game of Halo before I die in my bathtub (1 in 1 million) or before a vending machine kills me (13 deaths a year). And yes, I will probably chalk up another victory before some space debris sends me 6 feet under (1 in 5 billion). I will say this though about odds. I felt that I was pretty safe from having a bird crap on my nose when I was trying to talk this one girl on a sixth grade field trip, but they were definitely not in my favor that day.
