Another, more metaphysical survey was conducted yesterday: Does the food taste different for having been blessed?
Having been blessed with a hefty dollop of physical talent, he can pull off even the most ambitious manoeuvres, sometimes landing a jump when a "wipeout" looks inevitable, or returning to an upright position after falling on to his back.
Having been blessed, the boats, with the fishermen's families on them, went out and moored in the harbor, and people drank too much beer and got sunburned and ate more than it's sensible to eat.
Like LoGHIQ, his entry, Ladibug, never made it past the starting gate, despite having been blessed by two Buddhist monks in orange robes from the Wat Thai, a temple in Los Angeles.
Having had the foresight to invest in enough reliable nuclear generation to provide for nearly all domestic consumption, and having been blessed by geography with plentiful hydro resources, France exports profitably to Britain, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Germany.The latter two countries expensively subsidised wind.
For anyone who ever had to deal with a vicious screwball of a boss, or live in a house haunted by domestic violence, or beat cancer, or try to excel as an athlete despite not having been blessed with an athlete's body, Joe Torre, or at least the idea of Joe Torre, has been a comforting presence.
