Thanks for the information, Eustace, but I'm not at all convinced that 
things happen by chance or at random - according to science, everything 
happens for a reason - the law of cause and effect. All things fall

that /human excrement always flows downstream/, without exception.

tickets, and even the cells in our own body.


Along the way, we talk to a woman suddenly consumed by a frenzied 
gambling addiction, meet two friends whose meeting seems to defy pure
