It's March,Watch Kill Bill: Vol. 1 Online my friends. That means Daylight Saving Time, feeling the warmth of sun for the first time in months, and — of course — basketball.
Yes, it's time for March Madness, the month-long frenzy where 64 teams compete in an unforgiving NCAA tournament that spurs both incredible memes and unforgettable champions. It's also time for those pesky brackets, you know those things you do with your coworkers this time of year where you pretend you know about basketball but really just pick teams based on mascots or jersey color.

This year is no different. And that sounds amazing, no? All you have to do is utilize your expert knowledge of collegiate basketball and you can be set financially for life.
Well, as you could have guessed, that's a lot easier said than done. Forbes puts the odds of actually doing so at somewhere between 1 in 128 billion and 1 in 9.2 quintillion. Those odds are incredibly slim, but just how slim are they?
Well here are a few things more likely to happen, in no particular order, just to put things in perspective.
Have you ever met anyone with 11 fingers or toes? Chances are no. But Seattle Children's Hospital says 1 in 1,000 newborns in the United States are born with Polydactyly, the medical term for being born with extra fingers or toes. That means you're waymore likely to encounter someone with an additional appendage than pick a perfect bracket. Makes you think.
The Economist, citing National Safety Council data from 2008, puts being killed by an asteroid as a hugely improbable way to die. Bruce Willis isn't always going to be able to save you. And even if he could, it's still more likely you'd be demolished by an asteroid than pick a perfect bracket.
Forbesputs the odds at winning a gold medal at .0000015%. So. you can try, but you'll (almost) never be Chloe Kim.
Everyone wants to me like Mike. Or LeBron. But the Sports Digest says of 156,000 senior high school basketball players, only 44 will be drafted into the NBA. Hey, as Kevin Garnett would say, "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!"
This number seems impossibly high, but according to National Geographic, citing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's highly possible (comparatively) to be injured by a toilet. Sometimes the poop fights back, you know?
This one, from Forbes, may be a tad bit off. But hey. One can hope.
