Finally, a good use for science

MapInfo, a company that specializes in gathering and applying geographical and demographical data, has clearly had too much time on its hands. They have gathered the information about the past three winners of American Idol, so as to predict this year's winner. Apparently Kelly, Ruben, and Fantasia all lived in Southern, affluent, socially active neighborhoods. So this year's candidate who best fit that description is Bo Bice. You may start your betting now.
