if only...

great webcomic. at least, as far as I've read--I started at the beginning.

I am absolutely loving the freakonomics blog. For instance, this blurb about the application of the theory of supply and demand to the a shortage of single women in an Australian town. Apparently, the mayor, seeing opportunity for everyone, suggested addressing a 5-1 male/female ratio by advertising for ugly women elsewhere to improve their relative value by marketing themselves in a scarce area. Needless to say, this did not fly so well with local women, who feel inclined to protect their monopoly and elevated values on the man-market. Oh, and there's this swell link to a bit about the importance of defined property rights at an Elton John concert.
