The Red Sox won. And there was much rejoicing throughout the kingdom.

Maile in China flagged me down over Instant Messanger: Boston won!

I replied, I know!

Then I added, The curse is over!

And then, Actually I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just repeating what I hear the sports guys say.

Don't jinx them! Maile practically screamed at me. Then she explained that the curse was that the Boston Red Sox hadn't won a World Series since Babe Ruth was traded to New York however many eons ago. So the curse isn't over until they win the World Series.
